Very nice  But that is about $100 worth of coins. Pretty big "gift". I think I might ask for some help valuing the coins here. Then go back and tell her how much the coins were worth. Offer them back to her or at the very least, ask her if you could give her something for them. If he really meant to give them to you, other than the fact that she didn't think they were worth anything, then she will.

It was really thoghtful of your co-worker to see that the coins got a good home. I agree with denco7. You should offer what you estimate a dealer would offer her. If she refuses any repayment -- if even if she doesn't -- a nice hand-written thank you note is in order. And maybe chocolates. And maybe flowers. And maybe detailing her car.

haha! Yes, it was very thoughtful of her. I treated her to lunch and told her that they were in good hands and I will always take care of them!
I appreciate all your kind words/knowledge!
By the way!
Im pretty sure it's not an 'S' Like I said in my intro, I'm still pretty new at this coin thing but I love it dearly and really appreciate all the information you guys are sending my way :)
Thanks again, Trevor.

Take her out for lunch on your dime. It's the least you can do. Maybe you'll even get a girlfriend out of it if she's cute!

haha She's in her late 40s and I'm 21 with a girlfriend who buys me coins! I consider myself pretty lucky!
I will check out after work.
Thanks all, Trevor.

I'm curious about that 1932 quarter. Is there a mint mark or not? You wrote that you were pretty sure it wasn't an 'S' but the 'D' mint mark is even more valuable.
I've got a couple of pretty worn out 1932 D's and they're still worth $200 a piece.
Regardless of the coin's value, your co-worker did a really decent thing by making sure that the coins had a good home. I like to make little notes to go with the coins so that I remember where I got them. You might want to do that because you will still appreciate her generosity thirty years from now and it might be hard to recall a former co-worker's name by then and that they had once belonged to her grandfather.
