Used coins in Worcester, Massachusetts typically sell for $7 to $270. Read this before you do anything else: never clean a coin. Cleaning is the single most destructive thing a seller can do, and it can remove most of the value in seconds.
Selling coins in Worcester
Worcester is the second-largest city in its state and the centre of its region, with a remarkable number of colleges for its size, a substantial medical school and a manufacturing history that includes the invention of the smiley face here.
A very large number of colleges clear student housing each May, which makes the annual cycle unusually big for a city this size. Industrial decline left tooling in private hands.
The city is built on hills and the older streets are narrow, so ask about the approach and steps for anything heavy. Winter parking bans after snowfall are enforced, so check before planning a collection.

Handing it over in Worcester
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
