<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 80289, member: 112&quot;]It&#039;s a bit more than a can of worms - it&#039;s the whole worm farm !!</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s pretty hard to sell something when you don&#039;t know anything about it. And the intricacies of this hobby are not something you can pick up in a few weeks or months, it takes years - even a lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be quite honest the best advice I can give is for you to contact a reputable coin dealer and sell the collection as a whole. When it is sold, you just act as the agent for your in-law - have the check made out to him. That would relieve you of any tax liability. Hopefully your in-law kept records of what he paid for the coins and when because he will need them for tax purposes. But as suggested - have him contact his tax advisor or accountant.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many reputable dealers throughout the country, but if there is not one near where you live that&#039;s not always a problem. If the collection warrants it - dealers will come directly to you even from clear across the country. But as I said - it depends on the value of the collection. That can be partially determined over the phone in your conversations with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can post a better list for examples of what you have - I can make several recommendations of dealers you may wish to contact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
