    Thank you all for the the guidance and information. I will educate myself and follow advice provided. Most of his coins were from a wide variety outside of the US, which seems to make it tougher to estimate value. Some are centuries old and some are ancient.. My father in law was a big time history buff and he got a lot of enjoyment with his collection. I do think its is cool to hold coins that some guy many centuries ago carried around. I don't think he ever sold, just purchased and I am sure he saw it more as a hobby than a long term investment, but I am hoping maybe there some that have gone up in value. His wife doesn't need the funds right away, but may in the future and she wants to sell. She thinks I can take it to a dealer in town and get what he paid for them. She had no ideal how many he had and how much went into it. I don't want to rush to sell and hate the ideal of selling something not knowing its fair value. If can sell some like this 1776, I can buy some to time to study his collection and know which ones are special.

    Hello, My father in law passed away last year and I will be taking on the task of selling his coin and stamp collection for his wife who could use the extra money. Its been kind of of fascinating going through his collection. I have been trying to match up receipts to the actual coin so I would have a starting point as to its value. The first coin I am looking at is a 1776 continental pewter coin. See pic of coin and the receipt. I read there are a lot of counterfeits of this coin, but I am hoping it is real since he bought it from what seems to be a major dealer. The lighting in the photo makes it look gold, but it is actually grayish, pretty worn, the photo is 2x zoom. Most of his coins have a grade, but this one was in a plastic sleeve with no grade that I could find. My question is is this coin real and what are the chances we could get close to what he paid in 2006? Any tips and advice for a novice selling a nice collection would be appreciated.
