<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 8140866, member: 77639&quot;]OP, does your father need money from sale of the coins to meet ongoing expenses?&nbsp;&nbsp; If not, he might want to reconsider selling.&nbsp;&nbsp; If the coins are passed on via a will, the beneficiaries will not owe tax on capital gains while in your father’s possession.&nbsp; He or you should provide a detailed inventory plus care and selling instructions for beneficiaries.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coins are worth $500k and most of the value is in 4-figure and up certified coins, auction houses will jump at the chance to sell the collection.&nbsp; And he and you will be in a good bargaining position to get good terms.&nbsp; If the collection is mostly lower value certified coins, the auction houses will take them, but you won’t get as good a deal.&nbsp; OTOH, if most the of value is in raw coins that are worth a few hundred each at most, big auction houses won’t be interested.&nbsp; In that case, selling to dealers or through small auction companies will be the way to go.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
