What ever you do Don't Leave Your Coins for them to look them over. BIG price differences between grades of coins I don't trust them not to swap them out for lessor coins...

Any really good websites out there? Father-in-law left a bunch that I'd like to split up among his grandkids but would like to do it equitably and give them some info on what they are getting.
My thoughts have been in line with some of the comments above. Don't really trust strangers in a shop to really tell me what I have.

I went to a jeweler here in Denton. I have bought some small items from him. His daughter is an Aggie.
My grandmother had some old coins and my family knew I like coins. I told him I was keeping them, but the estate was being divided 4 ways and I needed a value to give to the estate.
He told me what they were worth ($400) and I asked him what I needed to pay him for the time. He said the next time I was in the market for jewelry, keep his shop in mind.

Watching - My FIL gifted a bunch of pre 1950's silver (90% silver) and I need to find a legit buyer.

Buy the following: A Guide Book Of United States Coins. by R. S. Yeoman.
It has all the values and how to grade them.
Or try Ft. Worth Coin Company for values or the book.

Im not buying at the moment other than Silver dollars and Barber dimes but post it up in the classifieds here and someone will buy it. Check out coinflation.com to figure up the value.

Thank you for the mention. Thorn, I'm in Lewisville. If you can afford to wait a week or so, I'll be done with property tax season and will have time to look at the coins you have & give my opinion of value. I've been collecting since I was 6 years old and many of the TFF guys can vouch for me.

Acb is heavily diluted, as they keep on buying companies, i still keep mine with a loss and we shall see in 5 yrs. I think vff has more potential. I wouldnt be surprised if somebody will take over vff soon.

That would be nice if VFF was bought out I'd be happy with that.

I buy collections from time to time. If you want to send me photos I'm always glad to help and give you my opinion on what you have. FWIW, my next purchase will be some land so I won't be giving any offers, just feedback.
