<p>So, my father passed away last year and left us kids all the “collectibles”. There are stamps, coins, war memorobelia, figurines and books. There’s a ton of crap. How do we know if anything has value? Who do you take it to? There’s sooo much stuff. It’ll take me a year to go through it all. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks</p>
<p>Does it seem like nice stuff? Or does it seem like junk?</p>
<p>For stamps and coin collections, see if you can find a store in the area (they always seem to easily find these on those storage unit auction shows) who can look it over and tell you what it is worth.</p>
<p>For figurines and what-not, if you can identify a brand (such as Lladro or Hummel) you can search on eBay to get a rough idea of value.</p>
<p>If any of it is in the fine-art or fine-collectible category (war memorabilia could be in this category if it is good stuff) see if there is a local auction house which will appraise it for you.</p>
