[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 777037, member: 112"]Airpilot - Although each and every one of our members means well, I sometimes think they just don't understand how overwhelming a task it would be for somebody who knows nothing about coins to even think of trying to establish value for them on their own. And c'mon guys - how many of you have struggled, I mean struggled, to take decent pics of coins ? You know as well as I do how hard it is even when you have been told how. Now imagine somebody who's never done it before. Try to remember the very first time YOU tried it. So anyway Airpilot, you have the right idea. You just need a little help finding the right person to appraise the coins for you. Go to this link - [url]http://www.money.org/ana_custom/dealer_search/dealer_search.cfm[/url] - that will bring up a page that allows you to find registered ANA dealers in your area. Use the phone first - explain your situation and ask them if they can do an appraisal for you. They will charge you for it. DO NOT try to sell the coins to the dealer doing the appraisal - just pay him to do the appraisal. Then you can use that same dealer directory to find another dealer in your area to offer to sell the coins to. ANA registed dealers are bound to uphold a certain code of ethics, or they risk being kicked out of the ANA and having their reputations ruined. So as a general rule of thumb - you can trust them.[/QUOTE]
