[QUOTE="BostonCoins, post: 2997933, member: 34720"]You've come to the right place. A lot of great, trustworthy people here on this forum that can help. Where you do not appear to be a 'coin' type of person, your situation can be tricky. let me give you two pieces of advise. 1 - Just because its old doesn't mean it's valuable. 2 - Just because is modern doesn't mean it's only worth face value. There are so many different types of coins that are considered 'key' coins due to their rarity, a defect, condition, etc.. etc.. etc... If you really want to make sure you get the best deal, I would suggest making a list of the coins you have in something like Excel. Break it down by denomination. Once you have those lists, the experts on those denominations can give you a fair value for the coins, as well as give you advice on what to look for if they see any dates of interest. If you do not feel like posting this kind of information, feel free to pick one of the members of this site, or the administrators of this site in order to share this information privately. Good luck to you! Who knows, maybe this will turn you into a coin collector! :)[/QUOTE]
