Have you sold a coin collection?

I'm trying to downsize our stuff now, so that when we eventually move we won't need to figure out what to do with all the "valuable" stuff we never use.  I have my grandfather's coin collection -- nothing fancy, just old coins he collected along the way (he died in 1969).  Looking up prices online, it looks like the collection might be worth a few hundred dollars, mostly for the silver content.  Am I right to assume a coin shop will offer about half of the silver value in order to resell it at current silver value and make a profit?  Anything else I should know before going in?

My DH sold his father’s coin collection a few years back, and got about $250. Individually there were no super valuable coins just old coins, some silver, and some proof sets. He got above face value but not a lot.
