[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2401452, member: 24314"]Here is an easy start. If there are gold coins in the accumulation you my have something. If the coins are in small 2X2 holders with writing on them you my have something. If there are silver coins in the group you will have something. If I were you and a coin dealer is within fifty miles I would take the coins to him during the week when he may be less busy and tell him you want to sell them. He'll give you an offer and tell you a little about what you have. You'll get an idea of the wholesale value of what you have with no work. If he wants to buy the group (silver has value beyond numismatics) DON'T SELL. Thank him and say you'll think about it. If you are "well-off," insist he take $20 to buy donuts for the store. You should be able to get some idea from that experience...let us know what happened. You can also go on the Internet and look up things like "how to sell a coin collection." That should keep you busy for weeks.:happy:[/QUOTE]
