Coin appraisal
 
Can someone recommend a a reliable, honest coin appraiser?? Thanks

I am not an appraiser, but curious what type of coin you have? Looking on ebay will give a good idea of the coin's retail value. It is not what the coin is worth, but what someone will pay for it...

It's just my opinion could be mile off my observation
Unless you have a coin that's extremely rare or proof minted coin it's only value is melt value.

Not necessarily true. There are many collector coins outside these two categories.
Have a look on EBay.

When someone asks for help regarding a specific subject, they aren't looking for opinions, they are asking for help and an answer to their query!

Mleeja -- practically everything has value, and not just what someone will pay for it. If that was the case, there wouldn't be any such thing as an appraiser. There is a market price for just about everything.

To karostay -- a coin doesn't have to be "extremely rare," etc." to be worth more than its melt value. That is simply not true!

Bob's coins, located accross from Walmart in Summerfield has always been very fair when i have bought and sold coins with him. EBAY will give you a good idea of retail value, This is NOT the value you will receive from a local coin buyer. Most dealers pay a percentage of "grey sheet" price. These can sometimes be quite different from retail. That said, listing each coin on EBAY, dealing with buyer, paying listing and final value fees and dealing with shipping can all be difficult.

If i were you, i'd take them to BOB and see what he offers. If you don't like it, do something else with them.

When someone does not have an idea of the value of a coin, looking on ebay will give the person an idea of the retail value. Knowing that you can then go to a coin dealer to have the coins appraised as an educated seller. If the person apprasing the coins gives you a price which is significently below retail value, then you might want to inquire why or seek a second appraisal. Hence my comment, a coin may be worth $20.00 but if someone will only pay $10.00 for it, then its value is $10.00. Take the others advice and go see Bob's coins. Just don't go as an uninformed seller. And that is my opnion, errr advice.

Just a suggestion: Maybe Villagers from the Coin Clubs could help you?
