What is your best advice to someone who just inherited a coin collection?
Attend a local coin club meeting. Fairfax Coin Club mans a table at our local coin shows. We’ve had a number of folks with inherited collections stop by and, after a brief description, we suggested:
1) they take an inventory of the inherited coins, and
2) they attend one of our monthly meetings.
The past three folks attended our meeting(s) and were introduced to the club officers; whereupon, they all had options for disposal of the coins explained. All the past three folks, followed through on our suggestions, and were very pleased with the results.
