ebay is the obvious answer...few helpful hints - take good pics, do your research and start the coins at the price you feel comfortable selling them at, and MAY want to reconsider a different name...may lose some buyers...just my 2cents though.

You don't think I should try to get them auctioned off at the heritage coin foundation. I am trying to find a way to evaluate the value of my coin collection but I only have the 2007 Red Book to go off of. I would like to know where I can get the latest values on the coins I have so I can set them at a reasonable price. |

NumisMedia Fair Market Value Price Guide. It's on the web but I do not know how to post a link. On that site you can look up each coin and see what the value is for a variety of grades. Then you just have to determine the grade which you can do here or by using Photograde, which is a free app.

Heritage will not accept consignments that are below a certain value. I've heard of them rejecting single item consignments as high as $1,000 value. For collections, it would have to meet a certain average value per coin.

Aw, stick around here and ask questions about your collection. You might just get interested in coin collecting again. If you HAVE to sell them - and I sincerely hope not - that's a different situation.

Yeah unfortunately I don't have enough money to get invest myself in my interests of collecting coins. I would love to do it but I need some sort of financial support as I go through my university. I will try to keep a few but I want to make as much as I possibly can.

For any of your silver or gold coins that are common dates and not in a high grade you need to keep an eye on the melt value of gold and silver. That is the driving force in common date coins of those types right now. I think right this moment isn't the best time to sell them. I suspect that gold and silver are in a temporary dip before returning to at least the highs reached earlier this year.
