Question
I want to sell my $1000 sealed bag of pre-1964 quarters in Houston, TX. Please explain how to sell them and how to make sure that I am getting the best price.  Please also explain how I can  figure how much they are worth. Thank you.  
P.S.  In your opinion, is this a good time to sell silver coins?

Answer
Hi Nadrea,
I believe that silver will continue to rise.
As for getting the best price in Houston,
open your Yellowpages and call the dealers and ask what they would pay for $1,000 face bag of 90% silver coins.  It should be somewhere around $11,250 to $12,000
