Question
I found a collection of Morgan Dollars. It is complete minus the 1895 Philidelphia coin. It is 13 Carson City all years, San Fran 28 Coins all years, Phili 29 Coins all but 1895. New Orleans 26 years all years. Also, 24 Peace dollars from the different mints, and a bunch of Eisenhower Dollars of differnt materials, and years. Can you give me some advice on how to have them appraised, I don't know much about coins. I was making a repair on my house, and found these coins. Thanks
Will,
Sounds like you struck it rich there!
I suggest you find a coin show in your area and take the coins there. Have at least 3 different dealers appraise them for you. That's alot of coins to appraise at a show, so you may need to set up an appointment with the dealers to give them enough time to properly appraise them -- they may or may not charge an hourly rate to do this.
Try checking the following websites for show listings :

Good luck!
Dan

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
Experience
I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
