keithg89

i have inherited an extensive coin collection that i know are worth a lot of money. I posted here before but now i have decided to sell one or two as i am emigrating to australia. I was just wondering does anybody know the best place would be to sell them?i wouldnt mind travelling to the uk if it was really worth it. the ones i am selling are most likely going to be double eagle 20 dollar gold coins any help appreciated

You could pop along to the coin fair that's coming up. Might be hard to sell them to the dealers there as most of them deal with Irish coins but you'll be able to get advice. If you do go, send me a PM and I'll hook you up with a dealer from the UK who can point you in the right direction.

I forgot also have a £5 note with the 15.10.99 on it would that be worth anything?

Judgement Day

Tysonc80 - the only way you're going to find out is to go! On the face of it I shouldn't think it will pay for your train fare. Old does not = valuable contrary to all the old guff you might hear on the Mooney programme/Cash in the attic etc. There are only a few valuable coins out there so be prepared for the worst.

Judgement Day is right, from the brief run down you gave there doesn't seem to be much there worth any more than face value. I honestly don't think it would be worth your while coming all the way from Galway when you could probably sell them to a dealer locally.
