Coin and Paper Money Collecting/selling a collection

Question
My dad started my collection when I was very young.  I'm now in my sixties, retired, failing sight, limited income, etc.  I think it's time to sell the whole thing but don't want to be cheated or cheat anyone else.  How do I find someone reputable to send the collection to for a fair offer for it all?  It's all U. S. coins, some purchased but most gleaned through 55 years of sorting pocket change.  A lot of them are coins dating back to the early 1900's and I know some of them have collectable dates.  I have a 1932s quarter and some other good dates.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thank you.  Jerry  

Answer
Hi Jerry,

I will do it personally for you.  I have heard too many stories of retirees being taken advantage of, and it really upsets me.  The main reason I am a member of All Experts is to educate people about their coins so that they won't be taken advantage of.
You can ship the coins, Registered US Mail to my office as follows:
Joe Hylas
Omega PM
153 Glen Head Road

Please advise me if I should be expecting the package so I can fast track it for you and get a check right out!
