We have recently been recipients of a significant coin collection. At this point we have cataloged, summarily, 150 rolls of nickels, both Canadian and American, the first 50 of which are 1945 or earlier. These are complete 40 or more coin rolls. And then another further 150 rolls of pennies, once again both American and Canadian the first 80 rolls being 1945 or earlier and being 50 coins or more per roll. We have yet more to catalog, however at this stage we have more than 6000 coins to evaluate. The collector has commented on the rolls with their anticipated grade and in some cases comments re value. What we wish to know is, what do you suggest is the best process for us to liquidate the coins and recover the most value possible without investing years of time? We could readily provide a list of the coins(by roll) and commentary on an excel spread sheet if interested.
Hello,
It's hard to say for sure what you have in terms of value, but the best way to liquidate may to sell to a coin dealer who specializes in both U.S. and world coins and who buys in volume. Thankfully there are many good dealers who fit that description. You can find a searchable list here: https://png.memberclicks.net/find-a-png-dealer
I'd start calling coin dealers who fit this description and ask if they are willing to evaluate the lot and get quotes (to compare) from various dealers who are open to buying the entire lot.
It's possible you may have rarities among the coins that could be sold individually, but if they are there they could help fetch a better quote for the lot and make it more marketable to dealers who are offering to buy.
I hope this info is helpful to you!
Good luck!
