<p>My late father-in-law had about 100-150 assorted old coins in his safe deposit box when he passed away. After dealing with more pressing and complicated estate matters, we are now ready to figure out what to do with these. Some are really old–like 1883–some are foreign coins and most are U.S.–really a mish mash.</p>
<p>Our goal is to sell them, and we will need to find a reputable dealer in the Atlanta area, but in the meantime, can anyone recommend a site that would give me general value of particular coins?</p>
<p>You can also look for coin magazines in the library.</p>
<p>Note that a coin dealer will buy a coin for less than it will offer it for sale (similar to car dealers, or the bid-ask spread on stocks and other securities).</p>
<p>I worked for a national coin company, that bought and sold US and foreign coins, Are your coins graded or loose? You can use the Official Redbook A Guidebook of U.S. Coins for a starting place. You can also look on ebay to see what your coins are selling for. But you’re right, you do need a reputable dealer,</p>
<p>I would use the blue book not the red book. Its my understanding the redbook is what dealers are going to sell the coins at while the blue book is what price they’ll purchase the coins.</p>
