<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RobEdinburgh, post: 4650090, member: 113853&quot;]Hello</p><p>tldr:</p><p>I&#039;ve inherited a coin collection, is there anything here of value or interest, and how best to proceed?</p><p><br /></p><p>More detail:</p><p>My friend gave me a tin of old coins, she died last month aged 96 and I found more coins when I was clearing her house. There are a lot, possibly hundreds. It&#039;s not a formal organised collection. I&#039;ve no idea what to do with them all. There are mostly British, African and Italian, although others too, from Victorian to much more recent. I suspect just gathered and kept over the years, although there was one that was worn on a chain.</p><p><br /></p><p>So how best to proceed?&nbsp; A coin dealer for an assessment (recommendations for by-post or Edinburgh area), or maybe people would be able to have a look if I was to upload batches of photos?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not really looking to start a new hobby, don&#039;t have time for all my current ones, but I would like to sell any valuable ones and ensure that I don&#039;t put anything of actual interest in the metal recycling!</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel it needs an experience eye to glance over and identify anything worth further investigation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any advice would be appreciated.</p><p>Thank you</p><p>Rob</p><p>Hope I&#039;m not taking liberties by asking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
