Evening guys and gals,

Im in a bit of a 'happy' pickle. Ive been lucky enough to inherit a significant collection from a very dear friend of mine. I'm based in the UK but the collection is US.
Im looking to have the collection valued and potentially sell.. This is where I need help!!!
I have no idea where to start with it- The executor has send me a lot of photos of the collection, which will probably be of some use hopefully.

Any advice would be massively welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
Ben

You're in for an adventure! Don't make any fast moves that you will regret. Take your time, and make wise decisions.

Pictures are king, it is tough to help without a visual reference and a specific question.

I believe the OP is saying he lives in the UK, but has a coin collection that consists of US coins. Not they are located in the US.

thanks for all your replies and advice- very much appreciated and absolutely makes sense- pics are king, got it.
I now have a dropbox with over catalogue of over 100 pics that the executor took for me- The coins are currently in Florida.. I think I'm going to have to make a trip over to collect them but told they are heavy!!
My head was slightly spinning after 10 minutes of research- I was pleased to see a few UK coins in there.
Any advice on who's door I should be knocking on, that would be so great.
Ive tried to upload some pictures but clearly not capable.
