[QUOTE="BadThad, post: 2625656, member: 17261"]Welcome to CT! I'm in Cincinnati too. What shop did you go to? If you must dispose of the collection, I recommend separating the coins. The ones you believe to be the most valuable should NOT be sold in bulk. They should be sold separately and individually to get the most money. It's really OK to sell to a dealer you can trust. You won't realize full retail price but they do offer the convenience of an instant sale. Many say a dealer will "rip you off" but they do have a business to run. They are not there to pay full retail price and not make money! They take all the risk and you get relieved of the pain of trying to sell on places like ebay. Generally, they'll offer about 50% of what they think they can sell it for....which I feel is fair. The problem with large collections is they usually contain many common coins of little value individually.
