Cent Circulated
suggestions around selling an inherited coin collection?
I am looking to sell a collection of inherited circulated coins. Since they’ve been circulated, they have a some wear and many have a layer of tarnish.
We don’t live in a huge town nor are we terribly close to a huge metro area, so I think I have like one real “coin shop” option on these. I figure a bank has to give me at least face value on the coins i.e. one cent for each wheat penny. I bought a Red Book and tried to price out what I could tell about the collection at the least valued rate. I am anticipating minimum value on it ought to be some value of greater than face value and perhaps less than full Red Book least value.
Anyone have experience selling an inherited coin collection? Specific websites and coin buying businesses you’ve worked with that you’d recommend? Other points to ponder as I look to convert this box of coins into “today’s cash”?
Your only option here is to take it to that one coin shop. Have them take a quick look and see if it’s worthwhile for them to appraise it for you. Normally, I would recommend at least two (or even three)separate appraisals to get a better idea of it’s value, but since you can’t, you can try any antique dealers you might be near. Ask if they know of anyone familiar with coins who would be willing to take a look. Otherwise, you could ask the owners of the coin store if any of their regular customers would be able to help you. Don’t sell until you have a better idea of what you have.
