Default Liberty nickels?

First, I'm not a collector and don't think I want to get into it at

That said, I was recently given some coins which I believe were
'randomly' kept by some of my in-laws. (now deceased)

The nickels caught my attention because I had never seen one before!

The dates a ?1906, 1911, 1912 (2 of).... better condition than I
expected them to be

I think there are some large cents(?), and other early US coins.

They are certainly circulated, and I have no idea what quality they
would be.

In addition, there are quite a few foreign coins, mostly German I
think, and some Italian.

In a nutshell, what would you suggest I do with them?

Thanks in advance,

Don't take them to a dealer. Sell them on Ebay.


Good advice for someone who knows both coins and eBay. But way too often,
we see auctions for coins in which the amateur seller makes a fool of
himself through poor ad copy. To be successful on eBay it takes good
photography and accurate, tight text. It also helps to have a long,
unbroken record of positive feedback.
