Random: Best place to sell my coin collection?

So, when I was a wee nipper (~14 years ago) I spent a lot of time over in Canada, whilst there my uncle took it upon himself to get me in to the whole coin collecting thing. Over about 2 years I amassed shed loads of random bits, some old, some new, some ancient. Silver dollars, mint set, pennies from every year since 1900, etc etc.

Now, since about ~12 years ago, these things have sat collecting dust in the loft, a whole suitcase full of them.

The other day I was poking around and spotted said suitcase, which jogged my memory, and ultimately resulted in this thread.

Now, I've not got a clue what they are worth, or if they are worth anything. I've considered Ebay but would prefer to job lot them off. Any budding coin collectors around?

I figure this will be extra difficult as its a 100% canadian coin collection, and well, we are in England!

Cheers for any help.

Edit, I've got some stamps too *hides*

Edit2, I might take some pictures tomorrow and post them up!
 
can you share some pics with us?

I too find this interesting, but ultimately would assume auctions specialising in this field and certainly not said competitor as I'd only assume you wouldn't get what they are potentially worth there given how specific your collection is.
 
Anything like stamps/coins your best going to an auction that specialises (usually one day every now and then) with that subject. More specialist collectors so higher price. Assuming thats what you mean :D

It was going good until you mentioned they were all canadian. You'll sell them for the price of the postage on ebay if you're lucky :p


j/k hope you get something decent for them.
 
Have you got any sewing finger protectors?


You stole all his thimbles already!

****'s ! :P

FYI I've pretty much valued them all myself on Ebay (US) using the Canadian coin section. Total value around ~£400, most expensive coin is ironically a mint 1955 cent, worth around £55. I'll put them back in the loft for another 15 years and re-assess!

A lot of the value comes from the actual weight in silver, rather than the fact they are collectables :o It would seem Canadian coins contain large amounts of fail.

Cheers for the help/abuse :D
