A lot of sellers here are handling a collection they inherited. Have it appraised first so you can tell the scarce coins from the common ones.
Split the bullion and the better dates out from the common coins, then get offers from more than one shop. Our appraisal guide walks through it.
Compare a few offers, get the scarce coins appraised up front, price bullion and numismatic coins separately, and resist cleaning anything — a cleaned coin almost always sells for less.
