Your 2 1885cc dollars are quite nice, and with some toning so I disagree with your description of them "I have two 1885 CC Morgan dollars that seem to be in good shape but not excellent." They are more than excellent!  |

Yeah, those CCs are very nice. At MS63 they are going for over $600 on ebay. They appear to have been mishandled, with some contact marks. But it might be worth having those graded. |

You have some nice dollars.  I am the sentimental type, so I will encourage you to hold on to them and pass them on to your children or grandchildren. Ultimately, it is your decision. |

All of your Morgan's are really nice. I would recommend you take up Buddy's offer and meet him at the coin show and then shop the dollars around. Once you know what you have then you can make a better decision as to how you want to proceed with selling them. Since you have two of the 1885-CC dollars I would keep the better of the two at least. The 1885-CC is a mid level value as far as the CC dollars go, there are some dates worth less and there are some worth more so these two are much better than one would typically have handed down to them by date and condition.

Should BuckeyeBob decide to keep few of the less valuable coins, they could be passed on through the family.
However, he MUST write a short history of all of the family members who have held these coins in the past.
That is what turns a common coin into a family heirloom.
As for the 1885 CC pair, NOT the usual "hand-me-downs" and worth while seeking help from trusted people - say
the members of the CCF!
Yes, YES BuckeyeBob, DO take advantage of Buddy's offer! The members of the CCF are nothing if not the most generous folks with their time and their knowledge.
Makes us the BEST online source of help. With the BEST people that you can meet.

Thanks so much for your help on this. Buddy, I may take you up on your offer for the show in Elgin if it works for my schedule. Please share any of the details on the show.

If your in the Chicago area, there are many coin shows every Month and all are free to get in and free parking. Can't remember which one is in some of the locations. One is either in Rolling Meadows or near there. Usually these are seldom in that Google thing called Illinois coin shows.
Countryside is on the second Sunday of every Month and is about 6600 South on lagrage Road in LaGrange. One block West of Joliet Road. Anywhere from 80 to 100 dealers. Sometimes really crowded and last Sunday was like that.
Itasca is the Second Sunday of every Month and is on Irving Park Road, about a mile past the Itasca Metra Train station.
Cicero-Berwyn coin show is usually on the 3rd Sunday of every Month. 6630 Weat 116th Street, Berwyn, Illinois
Your best place to buy and sell coins is at those shows.

BuckeyeBob as you've seen, there are plenty of shows around.
The Elgin Coin Club show is on Oct. 28th. It starts at 9 and goes until about 3 or 4.
I and a few others will be taking turns at the 'welcome' table. My real name is Vonelle and I'm a 57 year-old woman.
The Elgin Coin Club has a Facebook page but it isn't up-to-date --- so I just gave it a poke and I hope it will be updated soon.
If you want attend, I'll be sure to get the address for you and you should check out some map service online because it is held at a VFW post which is currently surrounded by a roadwork nightmare. It is pretty easy to pass up the driveway to the hall.
I'll be checking back with you. Do you live anywhere near Elgin?

BTW - DON't clean them in any way. These look nice and cleaning will take much of the value away.

If your not in that much of a hurry to sell these, I would recommend you do what I did this past March when my Sister's husband died and she didn't know the value of the Silver Dollars and was thinking of selling them for spot... I have a gmail account that lets me send upto 25MB per message, and had taken high resolution (5-7mb) photos and post a thread on the Morgan & Peace dollar VAM forum and explain your situation and request if you can email them photos to check for any rare VAMS... I found them to be fantastic, and they know their VAMs... |

Broken-Cointhat is excellent advice. I didn't realize you could get that kind of help on that site.
