Rembrandt etchings? Fantastic. I'm getting very, very jealous.
If you don't mind, I would love to see some photos of the work.
I suggest you see a very good appraiser. I would definitely not consider selling these pieces without one.
Art at this level could surely be brought to Christie's or Sotheby's auction houses.
Here are a couple of links that will give you a better idea of what they do:
Christie's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christie%27s)
Sotheby's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotheby%27s)
You could also contact some museums to see if they would be interested in buying the work from you.
I would love an update as the story of these etchings continues to unfold.

Hi, swatterac!
So, are you saying that you have two etchings that were actually done by Rembrandt himself? Or, are these something else, please?
Pretty much all of the original work done by Rembrandt that is extant in the world has been accounted and documented as to authenticity, ownership and where the original works are located.
Thanks!
