Message:: [QUOTE="Vroomer2, post: 1051641, member: 80251"]I have been in a coin shop during an appraisal for an estate. For someone deeply connected to the numistmatist no longer with us, it is a painful process. The reactions I observed were very different from the widow and her middle age son. Having been said, my dealer did not offer the estate 100% retail for the coins. Most of the stuff was modern proof sets and stuff like that (25% of retail... AT BEST for those items). The bullion coins he offfered to buy at 90% melt. And wheat cents were face value. In the end, the two accepted the offer. Now, I will give you the same advice I gave the middle aged son at that coin shop back in 2007. "You see that little Red Book on the counter? That's a good start of things to look at and what to look for in coins." And I walked out with quite a few rolls of wheat cents.  If yer looking to sell, there are boards and forums for that. Think we have a buy and sell forum here... not that we use it or anything. :goofer:[/QUOTE]
