<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1348577, member: 33176"]You have a thorny problem. If you really have little interest in coins, this could get very frustrating. Most coins floating around out there are worth face value or a small premium. Foreign coins tend to be collected because they are interesting, and unfortunately most of them are worth face value. This forum has been accused of being Amero-centric, but if you look at valuable coins, many tend to be American, and Americans have been avid collectors for a long time. With that being said, you can hang around a long time, read books you might not be particularly interested in, or spend LOTS of time on e-bay and just get more frustrated. If you take the coins to a dealer you run the risk of being blown-off if they don't want to spend the time, or being ripped-off if they are unethical. There are many good dealers out there who will do neither of these, but an alternative is to find someone who is a collector and ask them to look at your collection and just give an opinion as to whether you should go to a dealer or not. Whatever happens, good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
