I can tell you from personal experience, most all coin shops will give you a bid on your coins approximately 20% or more under the replacement value.
If it were me, I would get a red book, become familiar with grading the coins and sell them individually or in sets to numismatic collectors. At least those coins that do have a numismatic premium.
If the collection of coins has already been graded it will make it that much easier to accomplish their sale. To send them in to be graded will probably not be a productive endeavor unless you have some rare coins contained in the collection where condition of the coin can have a significant impact on their value.
I buy pure gold and silver coins and pre 1965 dimes and quarters but don't collect, buy or sell numismatics.
Hard for me to give you better advice without knowing specifically what the collection is made up of. You're welcome to PM me with questions if that would help.
Good luck.
I have a small collection.... I've been buying a few Morgans in the last few years......
If I ever sold them or if my family sold them after I was gone....... I'd rather have them sold on E-Bay than to a dealer.....
Silver is currently down below $17 which will reduce their actual value, unless you have some that are truly collecters items.
Use a reputable source with lots of experience.
If and when you sell them, in addition to ebay, there are websites of numismatic collectors aand stackers that will gladly buy them from you. Most of these websites have a classified section to advertise what you have for sale. As Big Bear says, you'll get a better offer that way than from a local coin shop.
Be aware that silver prices can swing wildly in a short period of time. That can work to your advantage or disadvantage based on which direction.
Frankly, most of the downside to silver prices is already in, imo. I wouldn't even consider selling any unless it was a dire emergency requiring cash. Your timing couldn't be worse if you ask me.
Shame on me.
