Question
For my family, I need to get an evaluation of my parents coin collection. The collection is mostly US coins but one small Canadian cents book. Collection includes, Liberty Stand, Qtrs, Liberty Walking Halves, Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, Mercury Dimes, Roosevelt Dimes, Lincoln Pennies, Washington Qtrs. Jefferson Nickels, JFK Halves, Canadian Small Censt. Most collections are pretty complete. Most of the rare coins are not in the sets (i.e. 1909 S-VDB penny, 1916-d Mercury Dime, etc.) I also what I think is a confederate 1 dollar bill. Can you direct me to the best option to getting an evaluation. I am in the Buffalo NY area. All of the coins I would rate as in good to fair or worse condition, none are in excellent condition or proof. Any assistance would be very helpful.

Answer
Hi Wayne,

If you make up an inventory, I will come up with a number for you.
It can be pretty simple like, Mercury Dime set, 1916 to 1945 missing....  All coins is low grade circulated.

If you send me a list, I am sure I can help you out at no cost.  Send it to JoeHylas@aol.com
