Question
Hello, I have a small collection of coins, silver dimes, a 1916 quarter,Bicentennial quarters & half dollars, 300 wheat pennies & a two head 64/65 Lincoln penny. Where can I sell them and not get cheated? Thank you.

Answer
Hi Helen,
The best thing to do is to get a hold of The Guidebook to US Coins by R.S. Yeoman.  It lists every US coina nd the value.  Bear in mind that this is the RETAIL value so what you get for them will be lower.  You can check on eBay for similar items then list your accordingly for sale.

Good Luck
