Mister Kairu, When you gave her the FMV is that for silver or collectible value? John1  |

For most of it I just gave her the silver melt value. The nicer Morgans I had told her between $30-$35 and the other Morgans/peace I told her $18. I was conservative with my estimates and it came out to around that much... Also didn't know anything about the silver certificate, Canadian silver, or OBW wheat pennies so those weren't included.

Oh most definitely. Since she knew my wife since she was a baby she wanted to give me a good deal on them too. Maybe should have gone for more of the lower grade ones since she gave me the two lower grade Morgans and the Peace dollar for $13 each. I paid $24 for the unc. looking Morgans each. Oh well maybe I can snag some more after we see where we are financially tomorrow... lol |

That is awesome! Hey Mr. Kairu, are you studying to take the CPA exam? I saw you had some books for sale on ebay recently. |

Yes I was Matt but due to being newly married and now with my 8 month old son I have taken a break from it and will have to get back into it eventually. Plus I have never really had to study for anything in school so this it was definitely a challenge. Got a 70 on AUD and 68 on BEC but maybe someday... lol

Keep trying, it's worth it! I used the exam matrix software and I was able to squeak out passing scores on my first go. This website was helpful too: http://www.another71.com Best of luck to you, man! |

Looks like an 1899 $1 black eagle silver certificate at the top right in the first photo! Did he have anymore paper money?
Glad you got to help out and see it pay off!

Yes Wheatback there was some bills the silver certificate was the oldest of them though she had a few $2/$10 red seal bills with some older $1 bills (after red seal time-wise) and some other $2 regular bills. I know nothing about those but I did ask and apparently the black eagle cert. (with folds like it was in a tri-fold wallet) is about $25-35.
