Question
Hi
I would like to ask you how do I know the real value of a coin.
My Dad collects coins and by reading a book he read about one of the coins he has to be very expensive.  We believe he has the $20 Ultra high Relief pattern, MCMVII.
We want to know where can we go to get an appraisal. And who knows maybe if we are right maybe sell it in a auction.
I'll appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Natalia A. Betancur

First, remember to touch only the edges. Send me a photo and I'll tell you if it is real or an Ultra. If it is, it will need to be certified, and then I can answer the rest of your questions. Feel free to call me. Neil Berman 914 763-0971. nsberman@msn.com
