Just as an example of how it seems too good to be true: she wants to sell some coins at the btc price only. So, a 2011 1 BTC solid brass, and she only wants 1 btc.
Not that unlikely taking the price of bitcoin into consideration. I dunno, seems a bit weird to me. She can easily charge 1.1. If she wants 1btc then she should redeem it. My guess is she does not know how, if they are real and doesnt want to mess with it. I know if my wife wanted to sell my cas coins she wouldnt know the first thing about peeling and redeeming. In that case, I will offer your wife face value for your collection

Exactly the above.
Check funding Check for any signs of tampering Look at the coin conditions to see if there is any damage that will reduce the value (higher graded coins generally will attract a higher premium)
Some coins have a greater premium than others Double error 1 BTC errors 1 BTC error 'Day 1' coins Series 2 silver halfs 10 BTCs All carry high premiums due to rarity or desirability
2013 0.5 and 1.0 brass significantly less so
The forum will give you a fair range for what you are looking at
Never be worried about asking for help. All of the folks who have posted above, or who have been mentioned, know their stuff. If you say where you are from, I am sure there will be a trusted coiner who would help you out (they would be sniffing out a deal themselves !)
I also havent seen any fakes that would pass a preliminary look. Either hologram or font has given away the only 1 I saw - a 25 coin. Even without the discrepancies, I knew that one was fake, as at the time I had the original !!
As with all face to face transactions, do it in a public place. Finally, if something seems too good to be true, then it probably is. If its a good deal today, then its a good deal tomorrow, dont get rushed into it if something doesnt feel right
