Toshgirl, the German sight might be worth a few bob (only a guesstimate) but things from WWI and II do generally attract people. So an ebay listing night go down well and if you list, also check the box that you'd ship abroad but weigh it and ask the PO for a calculation of shipping say to the USA that way you'll get a braod idea of shipping price. Maybe a listing something like. Estate sale, left to me by my late father...........and so on, you'd be surprised what people collect, and who knows, you might have some fun listing these things and i HOPE you might be surprised at what the prices bring. The 1 and 3ds you have, may have bullion value depending on the grade, sort them into pre 1920 and pre 1947 groups, pre 1920 being 925 silver and pre 47 500 silver, my advcie is because you are a novice don't add any grades if listing on ebay, just say what it is and let bidders determine for themselves. A good picture of each side is a must, nothing fuzzy as it can put some people off. You say you've lost your job, well you can make this your new job for the time being and look upon it as such until you've cleared out what you want to clear out. Remember, 9-5, coffee break at 11, lunnch at 12-1 and back to work Be committed and you'll make a few quid here and there, and if you have questions on a coin you cannot determine, then post a picture here and we can try and help. P.s, i'm much younger than you (the clever OLD sausage comment from previous )
