Question
My father passed last year and I inherited his extensive coin collection. I would like to sell it but not sure how to go about doing it. They are items like the Liberty Series, President Series, Peace Series, American Series, Stamps with Coins in plastic casing, Lincoln Wheat Cent Collection 1941-158 etc. Any ideas on where to sell and where to get the best price. I have some pictures readily available also that I have attached. I live in the Bronx, NY.

Bobbi,
Unfortunately, those series sets are only common coins in fancy packaging -- not alot of value there.
I suggest you find a local coin show, take a good sampling of what you have, and get appraisals from a couple dealers at the show. Then pick a dealer you feel comfortable with, set up a date to have hin evaluate the entire collection, and go from there.
Try the following websites for listings of coin shows in your area :
www.coinshows.com
www.coinworld.com
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.
