I need some advice as far as appraisal and auction.

I’m not a coin guy. I’m more of a slot guy. I love a nice slot.

I'm a collector, but a humorous one

If you have a 1913 V Nickel it’s worthless, I’ll give you a couple of bucks for it.

You know, I'm something of a collector myself.

I inherited my grandfather's collection that he inherited from his uncles and added to over the years. There was a local coin shop that did appraisals for a flat rate or they waived the fee if they chose to buy part of the collection. It ended up appraising for about $30K give or take. This is about ten years ago and I think the flat fee was around $500, but it was a big collection.

It's sitting in the safe now collecting dust.

Damn, the 1933 Double Eagle sold for $19MM recently?

That's insane.

<——Coin collector and have done appraisals but I’m not serious.

I know a mortician who is that.

I did a coin collection appraisal last week.

Friends of a friend for an estate, no charge from me, no warranty e or i.

Negotiate a flat fee beforehand on an appraisal. Expect to have a couple of people on your side commit to spend several (if not more) hours with the appraiser.

Tracking. I have a nice collection my grandfather spent years collecting and organizing. Not looking so much for auction but it’d be awesome to know what his hard translates to today

You can go to a local coin shop for an appraisal. I have used the coin shop on Sherwood Forest for an appraisal and I think it was around $400. Check with the auction houses as they might do one for you if selling the collection. Www.ha.com, www.greatcollections.com, www.stacksbowers.com.

I have bought from each of the sites mentioned above and would recommend all of them. Heritage Auctions will charge you the most in fees.

I've sold on both Heritage and David Lawrence. Both are good. Heritage takes forever to release your money. David Lawrence was faster with paying.
