get a good scanner, and sell them on e bay. I do this all the time. I put in a quality scan and let the buyer decided on his or her own the grade. this works well and I have always got top dollar, but use a scanner and not a cheap camera, I can not stress that enough.

It only pays to have coins graded by the grading services if they have a high value.Having a coin graded, that a dealer will buy for $5, is sure not worth spending $10.00 and up to be professionally graded. Go see a coin dealer, believe it or not most are honest folks. Find one in your area that has been in business for sometime and ask his opinion. No law says you can't check out more than one. I can't help you grade them without seeing them and neither can anyone else. You can go to a dealer and get the ANA grading standards for U.S. coins. It has photos and is good for grading coins up to almost uncirculated. You have to have an eye, to grade all the mint state grades. If there is a coin club in your area, you may get help from them.

Coins have to be very valuable to rate a grading.Go to your local dealer;they will tell you if they are worth it or not.They'll let you know very quickly if they have value or -the one I ran into.They are really fine but theywere to common.Just because a coin is old does not mean it's valuable.Check around and look yourself-on line,at several coin shops.If you're like some of us you know what you have.Do a little research before you sell.

go to a coin dealer who is honest , check out his reputation before you go and remember that anything is only worth what a person is willing to pay. Regardless of appraisals. eBay is a good tool to sell but do not expect retail prices.

Check your Yellow Pages.
