Does anyone here have an interest or knowledge of collecting coins? My two sons inherited their grandfathers coin collection three years ago. Most of the coins are uncirculated. The face value of the coins is about $900.00 Where can they take them, to someone reputable, to have them evaluated? Thanks for any suggestions you can give us.

I am in the same boat, we have tons of coins that were my grandpa's, they are in a safety dep box. I know they are worth something, just never have the the time to ck into it. They have coin shops out here but I am afraid they might cheat me. There are books available but since I know nothing about coins it is very hard to look them up

Here is a site that helps you to sell your coins and also lists some coin value sites too. Try googling coin collections and you will find all kinds of sites to explore. You should be able to find the value for your coins online. Good luck.

I'll e-mail my sis. She's recently gotten very gung-ho about coin collecting, and has learned a thing or two on how what to look for in coins. She may take a while to respond though, since she doesn't check her e-mail every day.

OK, sis e-mailed me back. She says she's gonna join up here and get into the discussion. But, we'll see. I've heard that from her before! Anyway, here is her e-mail reply....
quote:My bestest book in the whole wide world for US coins is: The official RED BOOK A Guide Book of United States Coins 2005. This book tells you the story behind each coin, plus the different grades (conditions), and the pricing on each coin per that condition. It's great! Also, the Official Red Book for each individual coin you are interested in. DH got me a Red Book on Morgan coins. It's superb!
I looked up the book on Amazon. Looks like it must be THIS one. Websites she's into are Littleton Coin Company and The Quarter Store. Though those seem to be more about buying coins, so I don't know if they will help you. Sis said she'd try to think of more and send them my way if she does. Hope that helps!

Don't know why my last message didn't show up on here. Just wanted to thank everyone for their input.
