So i recently inherited my uncle's very extensive coin collection. thousands and thousands of coins. Both US and international. Most of which are labeled or categorized in some way shape or form (either by year, country, currency type, special notes, or combination of the above) Not to mention all of the ones just thrown in the jars that he had yet to organize. I've hardly made a dent in documenting them, but this collection is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions. I am wary to send them off any where or take them to someone i don't trust without knowing everything i 'm giving them. Someone who knows a lot more than i do could easily fool me into thinking an incredibly valuable coin is worth nothing. Any tips on approaching how to approach this collection in order to minimize the risk of getting ripped off?
Thanks!
