[QUOTE="Two Dogs, post: 3420671, member: 85671"]Hi Cindy, You are getting some good answers here. I have a friend who was in the same situation last year and gave her some advice; 1) Do NOT go to the local coin shop and accept the first offer. 2) Do not attempt to clean any of the coins. 3) Find someone you trust who can help evaluate your situation. After seeing my friend's late husband's collection, I introduced her to a very reputable coin dealer who gave her a very fair offer for the entire collection. As others have said, there may be several different paths to take depending on what coins are in this collection; some coins may be common circulated coins that are enjoyable for a collector to have, but do not have much value over their face value, some coins will have value because of their silver or gold content, some coins may have great numismatic value (more than face or bullion value) due to their condition and scarcity.
