    Having been in this situation maybe a half dozen times before -- doing a favor for a friend or relative by eyeballing, sorting, and advising on the disposition of (but never grading or "appraising") their inherited coins -- I've found that using words like "nice replica," or "collectible reproduction" is much less triggering. Shattering the dreams and/or fantasies of friends and relatives is a sure way to fracture relationships, so I say let the people they eventually sell or consign the coins tell them what the coins are worth in the real world.
