The 1955-d cent is in a basement slab. The website does not even exist. Unless it truly is a MS-67 Red (unlikely) it is of low value.

These all look to me like rotated dies!
IMHO, the pics need to be rotated 45 degrees ... I'm getting a stiff neck.

 to the CCF. I must have missed the other examples posted in other threads.  Appears that you have some lovely inherited coins ... hopeful that we can help you with them. My suggestion is to post each coin in it's own thread ... then you will benefit from the best of the CCF expert knowledge. David |

Your brother had superb taste in coins. That Peace dollar is an incredible example. |

to CCF! Looks like you have inherited a very nice and quite valuable collection. You might want to check out Numismedia if you haven't already. It should give you are ballpark value of your coins (retail). http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtmlFor example they have a 1925 Peace dollar in MS-67 valued at $4,910. Keep in mind these are retail values, coin dealers would want to pay less. |

Sorry to hear of your brothers passing. I agree that 1925 Peace dollar is stunning and a really well struck example, at least to my eye. -MV |

You have to decide if you want the coins, or the money out of the coins.
If you want the most money then your best bet is the auction route. Yes, you'll pay fees but you have less worry. Local and national dealers will buy your coins but below "book value" (they have to make a profit and have overhead).
Before selling anything learn everything you can about what you are selling. Do not make rush judgements. Think everything through before making a decision.
Review any tax implications you may have to pay too. That part can get depressing real quick.

Auction is a good way to go. You will NOT pay fees for coins over $1,000 sold through Great Collections. From what you have posted so far it appears many of your coins have a value over $1,000.

Do consult with a tax professional. I think selling them within a year or two of inheritance pretty much sets the inherited value, as opposed to keeping them for ten or fifteen years. You can, also, either have them appraised now or appraise them yourself during the next year and establish the basis of value that way. |
