Searching for good dealer

This is my first posting on any forum of any kind.
I have been an obsessed coin collector for years, but of U.S. coins.
My Mother was English. My Dad was an avid coin collector. I have been sitting on a hoard of raw "run of the mill" English coin since my Dad died about 10 years ago. All of this stuff was brought back from family trips to the U.K.
For whatever reason, this stuff has more sentimental value than the U.S. coins he left me. I am finally ready to turn loose of this stuff. My goal is to trade bulk for a few nice pieces. I'm not yet sure what a few means, but I am sure I will figure it out.
My point to this post is this:Will someone recommend a trustworthy dealer in British coins who would be willing to work with me to go through the stuff that now fills shoeboxes and albums of 2x2s to upgrade the collection into a more manageable set? I think I know the monarchs on whom I would like to focus, at least to start. But I want advice and guidance, as I provide the clients with whom I work in my profession. I do know dealers in U.S. material but not really any with a U.K. coin focus.
Suggestions?

I have made several trades of duplicate UK material with GBC Coins (at gbccoins.com.com) and I have been pleased with my dealings with them.

From circulation, that is a tough job; from collecting by astute purchases, that would be the opposite.
Good luck though...
Well, just Love coins, period.
I have bought at shows and from websites from dealers from around country. I would prefer a southeastern dealer whom I would see at multiple shows during year. However, that is not a deal killer.
Yes, I do have a supply of young head cents but all in low grade.
Are there certain dates and condition you seek?
However, I rechecked my holdings and saw they only go as far back as the bun head of 1861.
Good luck in your search.
I'd like to find the real thing with the same toning in both cases!
