<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2624792, member: 17665"]Whatever you do, do not be in a rush to dispose of your collection. I was in a position, several years ago, to help my girlfriends mother. Her husband had passed away and had salted away a nice collection of silver and gold plus many other coins. I offered to help, with books in hand to guide her but not to offer to purchase. She refused my help, took the bulk to a coin dealer and got totally ripped off as I later found. She came home with the rest that the dealer was not interested in, which I went through with her slowly and painstakingly. She asked if I would make an offer, which I did and she was amazed.</p><p> If you can, take nice close up photos, cropping them as best you can and present them here for everyone's evaluation. You will be in a much better position to dispose of your coins without the remorse that so many end up having by rushing or jumping the gun. At this point, consider them as money in the bank that you did not have a short while ago and proceed carefully.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
