<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 309376, member: 4552"]Way to many things to consider. For one thing what are the possible grades of these coins? Are they dented, dinged, scratched, etc? What are the possible asking prices for those coins? You need an appoitment to see them? Why? What is this some kind of super, special person or place? Why have you been selected for this personal, private showing? Are there more than one of each? Why is this person selling them? Is this a buisness type situation of the seller or just someone that is liquidating those coins? Just to many questions.</p><p>There are as noted already many of these that are considered rare of just key dates. Thier values are excessive lately only due to the newer coin collectors created by the introduction of the state quarters and baby sized dollars from the Mint. This is a modern coin collecting craze similar to the Beanie Babies, Hot Wheel Cars, Baseball/Football cards. It will eventually slow down and return to normal pricing. Right now there are a fantastic amount of interest in coinage. We have well over 3 coin shows a month in my state alone. Coin stores, coin web sites, TV coin commercials, etc. poping up and creating a overpriced market.</p><p>My suggestion is to first know what you are doing with prices of any coins. Get a few books as noted already and know what you are doing. Acquire price guides such as the Red Book, Grey Sheet and also go to such coin web sites as Coin World Magazine or PCGS and check out thier prices of coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
