<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 2913820, member: 20480&quot;]I&#039;m sorry you lost your dad . . . I dread the day I lose my own, but recognize it is an eventuality.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your father&#039;s coins, you&#039;re smart enough to have made the decisions you&#039;ve already made . . . a good head start in my book.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s pretty hard to get &quot;good&quot; money for proof, prestige and modern commemorative sets, as they were generally produced in huge quantities.&nbsp; The first thing you need to do is obtain a price guide which will identify not only their approximate RETAIL value, but also the years in which proof sets potentially contain rare error coins; particularly the omitted mintmark proofs.&nbsp; My guess is that your dad already checked them for such precious coins, but it&#039;s entirely possible he had not.&nbsp; If you have none of those, I think I can confidently say that you might get the fairest money with a minimum of work, by selling them to your local dealer.&nbsp; Selling online incurs fees and high costs of delivery because the sets are not small.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for circulated sets, again, the price guide will help you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most importantly, be aware that common coins bring far less money from reluctant buyers (coin shop owners who want rarities to sell to their customers, and don&#039;t want the mundane) than from eager enthusiasts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
