Be cautious, emergencies are the sellers worst enemy and the buyer's best friend...

If you can go to two or three coin shops and ask for an offer...

There is or was a forum member that buys gold...don't remember who he is....

btw; ordinary dates and worn coins will only be worth spot minus their cut...

maybe you should post them in the classifieds with pic's...?

let me try and take a few pics don't know about posting these on a forum classified section though not going to rush into anything until I know the value for myself I hate parting with them but family comes first every time, these were found under a house I owned and lived in while in Ohio in a huge crawl space the house and the year it was built is what got me into metal detecting the best finds I have ever made and in my mind would be hard to ever top it, they were found in a box buried in the crawl space abut 6 inches below the dirt floor back in one corner the box was full of coins I still have all including the box which was not in vary good condition as it was pretty damp in the crawl space,I have never said anything about this find to anyone other then family members that I trust, the house itself was built in the 1800s and like I said is what got me into metal detecting but you do what you have to just to help family so thus the reason for the sale

You can simply post those photos right here on this thread and we can all share in the fun (I'm serious) of valuing them.

Hey, we all hear you on that -- there are many who have detected 40+ years and have never found a single gold coin let along a cache of them.  Right now (I'm really only a couple years experienced) I would be thrilled to find a silver half dollar.  While I'm at wishing, might as well make that a Walking Liberty..., 1921(any mint -- I'm not greedy)..., Extremely Fine condition....  :biggrin:

There is an organization known as the Professional Numismatics Guild which has extremely strict requirements on ethics.  There are, of course, a lot of honest, ethical coin dealers who don't belong the PNG, but the chances of getting ripped off by a PNG member should be next to nil.  If you don't have time to shop around, this would be you best option, IMO.  They may not necessarily be in the position/need to buy you coins but I'm sure under the circumstances they would be happy to give you some indication of value and likely recommend someone who would want to buy them.  I searched thru their website (pngdealers.org) for PNG members in AZ and found these four.  The first guy (Grovich) sounds like the right guy, but I don't know how close you are to Carefree (which I think is ~25 miles north of Scottsdale).  The others could certainly advise and very likely appraise if they aren't interested in buying. Even if you aren't in driving distance I would at least call and tell them of your situation.  They will help.
