Collection Appraisal

Arthrene brings up a good point. I will only note that a coin dealer must be one that you trust. I have seen both sides of the fence with this, and there are some that are just out to make money and not help.

Worst case scenario for you, make a list of what you have including date and mintmark if any, and post the list here. You can attempt to attach grades yourself, or you can post a photo or two and tell us that "all are about in this condition". We are here to help in any way, and we love collections and inheritances.

Oh and how rude of me, my sincere condolences.

On a brighter note, welcome to the forum!!

Tights is absolutely correct! Be careful who you go to. Don't sell anything until you're sure how much it's worth. It's very unfortunate but there are those in our society today who are only to happy to take advantage of those who are less informed than themselves.

If it's not too expensive, I would suggest getting a second opinion on whomever appraises your coins first.
