Where can i find out about the value of the old coins, can i find it online?

Answer 1

In order to give a value to a coin you must first understand how to grade the condition of a coin. There are many books available at bookstores and libraries to help you learn how to grade coins. Once you have a book you need to practice grading as it can be subjective. Once you feel comfortable grading your coins there are several ways you can get a value for the coins on line. You can go to PCGS.com or Heritage coins or even use eBay auction results to get a feel for the market. There are also several monthly magazines at most bookstores that will help get a value for the coins.

If you don't have the time or desire to do the above I would suggest you take the coins to a coin dealer and see what he says. Other options include finding a friend who knows about coins, going to a coin show and talking to several dealers, or contacting a local coin club and seeing if anyone would be willing to help get a value for your coins.

The coin show information and coin club information can be gotten from the ANA web site (money.org). Contact information for dealers is also there.

Answer 2

There is really no free site, the ones available are trying to sell coins. PCGS & Herritage are 2 companies for the person that knows what he is doing and has lots of money. They deal in real rare coins. PCGS deals only with pricing for their slabbed coins. If you are talking world coins, then you are even more out of luck due to the amount of space need for such a large data base. You need to see a dealer or coin club in your area. They will help also in grading the coins. Usually if only a few coins are listed on Yahoo answers, someone out there can help. Too many causes a problem due to space and time.
