[QUOTE="PeggyMac, post: 2445738, member: 79583"]Thanks all! The reason I was looking for a personal recommendation is some dealers are more ethical than others. I met a dealer at an estate sale a few years back and went to his shop last week but he was out of town so wanted a backup if he wasn't there today. Last night I was messaged by a forum member who gave mean idea what it was worth, since there was nothing in the rare, gradable, desired category. And I ended up with more! There was a Liberty nickel collection in a folder with only 26 coins, none of the really rare years, and similar sold on eBay for$30, so expected $15, and he offered $60, so felt comfortable with that. He gave me 35 cents each for the 477 nickels, again, none gradable, so very happy with that. My mom had sorted them and there was a handful on foreign coins and mixed in was a small dime which I thought would be worth melt but ended up being a 1842B half-dime and he paid me $12 for that. I had a very other random items, and the total ended up being $284.75! If you're ever in the KC metro area, I'd highly recommend Double Eagle Coin Company, 305 N Scott Ave, Belton, MO 64012 Phone:(816) 876-9316 I do recommend calling first as he's sole owner and he may be out of the shop for an estate sale or similar.[/QUOTE]
