<p>[QUOTE="coinman0456, post: 1084731, member: 18177"]I find that a bit curious . May I ask who the Dealer was that suggested you take the coins to a show rather than make arrangements to bring them to his location for a look see ? As you stated your not in a rush to sell anything. May I suggest that if you are going to follow the suggestion to go to a show , it may be wise not to sell anything on the first go around offers. Note the dealers name and shop around . What area do you reside in ? Perhaps one of our elder members here may be close and can further assist you . We also have a few Professional Dealers who frequent this forum . So tread cautiously at that show. Was the atty that handled the Estate of any help ? Also , using the prices listed in Red Book as a source of values of your coins, is useless. No one buy's at Red Book prices. Not even close in many instances. That is why you need to reference either the appraisal used in the Estate papers or have someone , like a dealer do an appraisal for resale value for you. Trying to attempt such a task with simply photos here just won't cut it. Trust me , you won't get the attention of a dealer to give you a fair appraisal while during a show. It's unfair to you both. It is a good way to meet some dealers and get a feel for whom you think you would like to conduct this transaction with though and make an appointment to visit their shop at a later date . Of course , these are simply my suggestions for you. Happy Hunting and enjoy the show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
