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.

There might not be any/much tax due since this is an inheritance. Unless the items have appreciated in value since you got them. Might want to consult an tax professional to be absolutely sure.

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.
