| Go to any Barnes & Noble and look under hobbies. You should be able
to find books to tell you the approx. worth (book value) based on the
condition. A decent list of coin collectors can be found right in the
phone book under "Coin".
Hope this helps....Ray
BTW - Once you find the approx. worth, you can probably make an entry
into the Classified_Ads conference to try and sell them.

You can also try the antiques and collectibles notesfile here.
(the node escapes me at the moment but you can find it on
TURRIS::EASYNET_CONFERENCES)

| Bear in mind that if you try to sell your coins to a dealer you can
probably expect to be offered roughly half their book value.

| In general you should look for a dealer who is a member of the
Professional Numismatics Guild, PNG. If they are a member they are
allowed to add the PNG symbol in their ads.
I would recommend contacting Bowers and Merena Galleries in Wolfboro, NH,
and tell them what you have. I would recommend consigning them for auction
if any of the coins are worth more than $250. Exspect to pay 10-15 percent
of the realized auction price as a fee.
If you go to local coin dealers make your own inventory and get quotes from
at least 2 dealers.
If you have any pre-1857 cents or half cents I will take a look at them for
you.
