Kevin Bartlett Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 We have inherited a coin collection of coins from around the world including a number of Canadian commemorative silver and gold coins. They are in their own presentation cases with descriptions of their issue. I would like to know how to assess whether they are uncirculated, proof or prooflike etc and how to gauge their quality. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 best advice is to either send them into a grading company or take them to a coin expert, they can tell you more about those coins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bartlett Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks, I live in Southern Spain and numismatics doesnt appear to be high on their list of interests. The internet has so much conflicting info especially regarding the American coins i have, including an 1883 Carson City silver dollar with carson city mintmark, that i feel i am going round in circles and i really do not want to post upwards of 400 coins to a stranger. I have ordered the catalogue of world coins so maybe this can allow me to filter out only those that would need a further appraisal. Thanks for your suggestions Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corina Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 good idea ordering a coin book ,coin books are a good research tool to use when one needs to sort out valuable and not so valuable coins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
