<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3420584, member: 112&quot;]Howdy Cindy - </p><p><br /></p><p>These are the rules - <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-talk-rules.34131/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-talk-rules.34131/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-talk-rules.34131/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>In a way your questions have kind of been answered, but not really huh ? Well, that&#039;s because the answers are pretty complicated, and they&#039;re complicated because the answers are dependent upon many things. And it seems that no matter how many times the same question as yours is asked here on the forum, it always seems to me that the first questions that need to be asked are ones that only you can answer. So I&#039;ll ask.</p><p><br /></p><p>To start off, how much time, work, and effort are you willing to invest in this ? And that&#039;s a very important question because in the end it usually answers all the other questions - especially yours. I&#039;ll explain a bit more. If you are willing to invest a lot, and I mean a lot, of time, work, and effort into this then the answers you will be given change, and possibly change a great deal. But if you&#039;d simply rather have it be over and done with you only having to expend a little time, work and effort - the answer is simple and straightforward.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I&#039;ll be honest with you, in the end the easy way will net you somewhere between 10-20% less than than the hard way will, and probably closer to 10. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what&#039;s the easy way ? You mentioned a lot of the coins were certified, given that my suggestion would be for you to take the coins to a couple of different coin dealers, maybe 3, and have them make you an offer on the entire collection. Choose the best offer, he&#039;ll write you a check and it&#039;s over and done with. That&#039;s assuming of course that you have 2 or 3 dealers close by to wherever you live. If there aren&#039;t any, then you&#039;ll have to mail the coins off to them to get an offer.</p><p><br /></p><p>The hard way is spend at least a few months and maybe much longer learning some of the things you need to know. Taking lots and lots of pictures of the coins and posting them here so people here can offer opinions. And then once that&#039;s done you&#039;ll have to choose what venue to use, ebay, an auction house, a private sale. And that&#039;s just the start really, because depending which venue you choose, that amount of time and work you have to put forward increases or decreases, and so does the amount of time involved. At the very best I&#039;d say 6 months as a minimum. And that&#039;s to end up with 10, maybe 20% if you&#039;re real lucky, more than you would by doing it the easy way.</p><p><br /></p><p>So you decide, which way ya wanna go ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
