<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 2548134, member: 60292&quot;]That was more than a little story lol. It was a wall of text. Might want to consider breaking up large paragraphs like that to make it easier for readers. Not being critical or negative. It was a good story.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Local institutions?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good point. I think with the internet we are all pretty much capable of making educated estimates/appraisals of coin values. The beauty of appraising something collectible is that it is basically just an opinion of value based on previous sales of similar item. Ultimately value is whatever someone is willing to pay. I think the tricky part would be missing a rare variety if the coin is raw (or graded without the designation on the label) or improperly grading the coin(s).</p><p><br /></p><p>I once graded a coin for a family friend (about a year ago). It was a well worn seated liberty dime. If I remember correctly I told them it was worth about $40 in it&#039;s condition. They were expecting higher but very accepting of my assessment since I explained how I came to that determination thoroughly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
