Can anyone give me some reputable coin appraisers in Nova Scotia?

Thank-you,

Kerri

Also, how many times would you have them appraised before selling?

If you're in Halifax, Citadel Coins is good... I'd start with them. They are a coin shop, but decent.

Unless you have something particularly rare or valuable then 2 is probably sufficient. Unless they wildly disagree on something then you'll need a 3rd. It's useful to do a bit of research before you go if you have time. Check out the grading guide at http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-grading.php and then the prices at http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php . Note, expect to get only 50-60% of the prices shown for raw coins and if you're selling to a dealer than probably even less. You might get a bit better for a particularly scarce coin or variety but the odds are against you. IMHO it's a buyer's market on coins right now; not a seller's. Good luck!

Greg Jones (Lighthouse Numismatics) is also an excellent dealer. There is a list of dealers from CAND: http://www.cand.org/membership.html
