<p>[QUOTE="brokecoinguy, post: 2995820, member: 85775"]I would agree with previous sentiments, get a copy of the Red Book and learn what you have before you get rid of it. Heck, I would also suggest you get a copy of Photograde. I know learning about grading and certain varieties, etc can be overwhelming but having that extra bit of knowledge could prevent you from getting less than what you deserve. Since it is an inherited collection, unless you have a desire to take on the hobby (which it sounds like you don't) I would think whomever passed it down would want you to get a fair deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I live in Atlanta and every first full Sunday of the month the Greater Atlanta Coin Show takes place just north in Marietta at the Hilton. There is always a good turnout with numerous dealers who buy and sell. Larry Jackson Rare Coins has a good reputation, they deal with some general coins but also higher end stuff. Unless you have some rare varieties or mint errors I would think your more regular date/type stuff could be sold to any dealer. But as they say, knowledge is power - and knowing more than the person you buy a coin from is even better. Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
