Evaluation of Coin Collection
Hi,
My wife and I have recently been handed my father's old coin collection. We know absolutely nothing about coin collections and have only just bought some coin albums to store them. We have a few hundred coins - manily european, canadian and US. I'm not sure how old the coins are but I have seen some very old looking ones (roman coins?) indeed. Could someone point us in the right direction as to how we can get our coins evaluated/appraised? Thanks in advance for your help. Vijay |

Vijay The first thing is that you shouldn't handle the coins in a damaging manner, which is common for neophytes to do. If you intend to place them in albums, you should read up on how to safely transfer them into protective containers. |

Thanks Adolphe! We are in Illinois so we will definitely look up a reputable
dealer. |

Thanks Edwin. We have so far been handling the coins very delicately but
will look up how to transfer them to the albums carefully. |
