Coin and Paper Money Collecting/My collection

Advertisement


Question
QUESTION: I have a massive collection of US coins, well over 30 years of buying the best I could afford at that particular time in my life. What I want to know is are there services or people out there that can look through my collection and identify which coins I should send to off for grading?  My collection contains many coins that are already graded.  However, I have thousands that are in Dansco books, rolls, proof sets, mint sets, etc... and I know there are some gems, I just want to have them cherry picked in order to realize the most for my dollar spent getting them certified.  Does this person exist and how much can I expect to pay them for their service?

ANSWER: Hi Chuck,
Where are you located.  Once i know that, I may be able to suggest such a person.
