Dansco folders. Now those are interesting. People seldom believe me when I say Dansco also made folders.

srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3162 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 11:21 am Wow am I envious. Daunting, yes, but ban what a lot of fun. Had a similar thing with my mother in law. She wanted my opinions on her small Morgan and Peace dollar collection. Only about 50 coins. It was a blast. Take your time and document everything. Have fun with it... Report this Post to the Staff

iontyre Valued Member United States 269 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 1:05 pm My mother in law has a small purse with 17 silver dollars and 5 classic gold coins that she wants me to have when she is gone. She let me take a look to catalog them for her. 13 different dates/mints of Morgans, 3 1924 Peace and a 1927 Peace, 1861 and 1911 quarter eagles and 1881, 1907, and 1914 half eagles. I didn't have my magnifier with me so couldn't check for 'D' mintmark on the 1911 and 1914 gold, but will do that later. Morgans include dates from 1878 to 1902, with one 'S' and one 'O'.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 1:10 pm Nice iontire... I'm hoping for gold too since he bought in the 80s and 90s or earlier when spot was stupid low. Apparently he was into EVERYTHING. Think an episode of hoarders but if the guy was a coin collector. Report this Post to the Staff

Not necessarily a bad thing, variety being the spice of life. At least he was focused on coins.

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 6:01 pm Mods, how should I proceed here? Should this be one huge thread with a ton of pics everyone will want over the next however many months or should I sepetate threads into proper forums and cross link them to this one main thread? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188660 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 6:13 pm What a large variety of albums and folders. You can keep this a general interest photo thread without specific questions. As needed, create a thread in the appropriate forum when you have specific questions, just as you have done with the Lincoln album & folder and old copper threads.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 7:03 pm I had to do this last year @cascade. My dad's coin holdings were concentrated in modern proof sets mostly containing gold & silver, and not as vast. I used the best dealer in my area to liquidate it, and put the cash in the estate account. This was easy compared to the securities and real estate. But I don't care for the new stuff so it wasn't as fun as your task. The only coin my dad ever bragged about was a 1931-S Lincoln he found in circulation when he was a kid. Who knows where it went. I hope not in a landfill along with the 50 transistor radios and heirloom collection of Mason jars full of rocks and screws. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 04/20/2015 7:05 pm Well, if they were all Morgan dollars I'd bet you would have them all VAMmed by now. I like that Library of Coins Mercury album. I have one of those as my second set and several other series. Report this Post to the Staff
