The best thing that I can think to do to determine value is take 80% of recent ebay sales. If you were to sell them on ebay, only about 80% of the sale price would actually go to you. I would highly discourage you from selling to a traveling buying event. A local coin shop would be the best if you are wanting to liquidate everything quickly, but in order to get the maximum value in a reasonable amount of time, I would set up listings on ebay at or a few dollars below the lowest price that each coin is currently available for. The best way to determine condition for pricing purposes is to look at the PCGS photograde website linked below. https://www.pcgs.com/photogradeI have only been on this forum a few months, but I have found that this is definitely the place to come if you want an honest, unbiased opinion that is in your best interest. I am curious to see more pictures and hear updates, best of luck! |

I would also agree that a bluebook is far more accurate at determining selling value that the RedBook. |

I think this is close to bullion value, but due to the exceptionally high bullion price right now, that's what's happened to many such items.  https://en.numista.com/311551 |

Whew. Finally finished initial inventory of the coins, with at least some level of pictures of all of them. My spreadsheet has 124 line items; some individual higher-value coins, some are sets e.g. a whole bunch of envelopes or sheets. Here's a bunch of rolls. Generally most things like this are mid-20th-century.   Most of those are lower-value things, though I know that one roll of silver Roosevelts is nice. |

An example of what I'm dealing with - gobs of basic stuff including a lot that is not well marked, and in sheets. This is a notebook of US coins - there's also one of Canadian and one of world coins (that one is really cool)  |

Thanks for the tip on the blue book. I had seen about that and wondered. I'll be getting the 2027 one when it comes out, which is really soon.
Also thanks for the links to the other sites.

Feels like a peek in the window of a combination toy store and milkshake joint--very cool in my eyes!

Yeah I love this stuff. Though it does make me a bit melancholy since Dad passed away a couple of years ago, and he's not around to talk with about this.
He lived a good life, and we did spend tons of time talking about his past and life, looking at pictures, etc. I regret not spending more time specifically talking about his collections though.
(I also got his stamp collection - don't get me started. That's going to be painful, as it's a huge collection of low-value stuff. I won't even touch that until after I retire.)
