<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1127245, member: 15199"]Welcome to the forum! Ask your grandfather if he feels up to selecting out the better coins. His knowledge is probably such that it would take you much longer to come to speed. If he feels that the better coins deserve high consideration in pricing, call a good auction firm such as "Heritage Auctions" or others and talk to them. The prices they can get if the coins deserve it most often offsets their fees over trying to sell them piecemeal yourself. If you have a newstand in town, get a copy of "Coin World" and you can see auction houses ads. The lower grade coins, if silver or gold are at a good time bullion price wise. My worse case would be trying to sell them almost individually.
