Coin Collection

I've self-appraised my coin collection today. Took me around 6 hours to get through the more important pieces of the collection, and now my back hurts. But the worth stands somewhere between $80,000 and $100,000.

When I was younger I liked collecting coins enough that I ended up with my father's coin collection (which he got from his father) and is the work of three generations of his side of the family.  Technically four since I've made some small contributions over the years.

 

Yeah, I'm not really into things like this anymore, but it sounds like you have a very impressive collection on your hands.

Wow, that's really cool.

 

By the way, are you planning on going on vacation any time soon or leaving your house for an extended period of time?  Also, where do you live?

 My coin collection started with my mother's father. He served in WW2, so he got around and was able to pick up a TON of different coins. I've been updating and adding to it slowly. It's been great.

 See the thing about determining the value of the coins, doesn't mean you'll find somebody that wants to pay that much for them. So you could steal them, but unless you know a buyer that wants to dish out that much cash for bits of metal, it's essentially worthless.

What?  Steal?  Who said anything about stealing? :lookaround:

 

By the way, do you also know any wealthy collectors who would pay for a collection very similar to yours that may be lacking proper provenance?

 Nope. Never looked for one.
