Question
What is the best way of determining the value of a collection of coins given to me?  I have no history of collecting coins.

Answer
Dear Greg. Yhere is no way for a non professional to put a value on coins. You would need to known how to grade them ,that is how new or used the coin is, plus all the date and mint combinations, If you can take pictures, front and back, I could help a little, otherwise, look under coin dealer in the yellow pages. Regards. N.
