El Karacho1647545492 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 About 6 months ago I inherited a number of late 19th/early 20th century coins from my uncle who'd inherited them from his father. I just got around to looking at them, but I don't know where to begin when it comes to finding out of these are worth more than metal value. Any recommendations? I may not sell any of this stuff, but would like to know what sort of value I'm sitting on so I know if a small safe in the home is sufficient protection and/or if they should be itemized on insurance.

I had my watches repaired there a couple times years ago and noticed the coins, just completely forgot about it til now. I'll have to check him out again.

LJ Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 2nd for Allen's. My dad is a major coin collector and deals with them a ton. There is also another guy in Northern Ohio he deals with a lot, but I can't remember his name, he deals solely in the more rare items. I used to buy all my currency collection through him 2nd hand through my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there's some collector value, but I imagine it'd have to be uncirculated or something to carry much additional value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 You'd want uncirculated or certain mints. I have one coin/ piece of silver that holds a value higher than market value. Or rare numbered pieces and even a lot of those only hold market value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 The silver dollars depend on where they were minted. Not really sure why, but some must not have run many. You can find some rough guides online. I have one from 1894 that is worth about $200 supposedly, so probably worth checking it out.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Side note, i have a few market value pieces that I'd be interested in trading for some other cool coins once you find out your individual values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
