I inherited some coins – how do I find out what they’re worth and what should I do with them?

Thanks for posting to CoinTrackers.com sorry for delayed response. If you are new to coin collecting we would suggest getting the Red Book you can find it on Amazon, and they are on their 79th edition, meaning they have been around near forever. We wrote an article about this 10 years ago and its located here https://cointrackers.com/sell-your-coins/ we will quickly sum it up. There are 3 main ways to sell you coins. 1.) Coin Shop, 2.) Physical Auction , 3.) Online Auction. in terms of what to do before selling your coins 1.) Do not clean them or prepare them, this actually makes them worth less. 2.) Sort and categorize your coins or make a spreadsheet. 3.) Using either the redbook or our websites search feature, get a rough sense as to what each coin might be worth. Some are worth more than others for strange reasons like grade and color.

Another great tool for finding a coins value is eBay believe it or not. But you really need to look at Buy Now Items, not Auction Items...auction items might be listed at just a few dollars, and the seller is waiting on bidders to bid the coin up. While By Now Items by professional sellers have the coin priced at pretty near the true value of the coin is.

If you like eBay and want to find the actual value of a coin, what it just sold for, or most recent sales then use the advanced feature setting to find SOLD ITEMS. The sold items page looks like this...and you can see the coin you shared just sold for $62, while in January and also December it sold for $46 and $41 dollars.
