Inherited A Coin Collection, Help Please!

Don't forget that Forum Mom and Dad (Susan and Bobby) can also sell your coins for you, and are very reliable. At least we all rely on them.

I agree with others. Hold on to them unless you need the money. Maybe you even have a key date in there

I would sell them here once your are able or list them on ebay individually. From the list you posted most are only worth a little over melt value. You should be able to get $25-$30 for each Morgan/Peace Dollar unless they are in great shape then they would be considerably more. Once you get to like 250 posts you can sell here at which time someone like myself would love to have them. There are many of us silver hoarders here that love silver dollars especially Morgans. GL

That does sound like you won't be hanging around here for long enough to sell here. And too you probably need money now, not some time in the future so sitting around with those coins will not help now. Unfortuately the fastest method is to contact a coin dealer or coin store in your area. You will probably be low balled on everything you have but one of the fastest methods to get rid of coins.
A pawn shop is even worse for coin values.
IF you could find a coin show in your area, there you would find numerous coin dealers and get a better price for your coins. Of course if you have time, there is always ebay. However, that usually means a lot of time in order to post all the coins and ship them out. Or you could list the entire collection on ebay and ask for a one lump sum. There too you would probably get the lowest prices for your coins.
Pending on where you live and if you trust memebers here, you may want to stick around here and find a member that is willing to go to you and evaluate what you have.
An outdated Red Book is more accurate for prices than a new one. If about 3 to 4 years old would give you values of todays market.

Another thing to do is look for a local coin club. They can help determine the value and you might be able to sell some there and not have to worry about paying fees.

Separating the clad from silver and common coins from 1965 to current will help you see which ones are more valuable. Any Kennedy halves from 1965-1970 are 40% silver. Go to the (124) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed web site to get melt value on silver coins.

Also, don't forget to check mintmarks. That can make a huge difference on value. The Red Book lists the mintmark location for each series.

ajl most coins until 1964 had silver in them. the only ones that did not where the nickel which was silver from 1942-1945 and one cent coins and from 1965-1970 Kennedy half dollars were also 40% silver.
