Page Of Quarters. Some Silver.

The key information in my original question (so I did not have to pull out and photograph everything one at a time) was to assume the info on the coins was correct. It literally says "going by the information listed on each coin". I didn't invent any of them, or write any of them, and I have to assume (as I have no reason to doubt) that they are correct.

In the case of the coins you've shown us, that is sadly pretty much the case.

Well those last two answers sure help a lot more than previous ones. I assume Frog was stating the grades are wrong. That isn't a "dig at me" at all.... I didn't grade them. If anything it makes me feel bad for my dad, who spent his life doing this, and really everything he collected was only worth the same as the change in his pocket.

This is why I don't collect honestly. It banks on a "future", and the way the world works, that future is FAR from certain. I want to slide in to my coffin with -$8 in the bank, so I know I enjoyed every cent!

To have something professionally graded, do they always have to be sent off via mail, or are there places you can just walk in to and have it done?

For future reference, if there is something I want to do that with.

No one here knows or can possibly if the grades are right are wrong, you did not provide good enough pictures for even a rough guess at any of the grades.

You were asking if the grades are wrong, I was trying to help by suggesting better pictures. There's no need to be rude to us, we just want to help you.

Noob,

So I just read this entire thread, I sense a bit of frustration everywhere. I have not read any other topics you may have been involved in so anything I say now is purely based on this thread alone.

You're not being rude from what I can see. Just a bit of confusion that you're trying to get clarified regarding the grade to sold prices and a bit of misunderstanding from some posters that are trying to help but may have accidentally skipped over a "key " word in your statement by accident. No biggie, everything's good.

First off, based off your OP of assuming The grades in the pictures are true, the price Values that you found would be correct. That many coins WERE sold around that amount but just because x-amount sold around that price doesn't mean that is what the market demands. Hundreds of coins from those years are sold not just 10 or 15 or 25. Unfortunately like some others have mentioned, most of the coins you have there would really only fetch say $3 for non silver and maybe $4-7 for silver. And that would take some time before finding a buyer. It would sell eventually but I'm not sure you're wanting to invest that time. That's your decision obviously.

Second, IMHO even if you could easily submit there coins for grading. Due to the fact that these are no where considered high value coins, it would NOT be worth your time or money to submit them. Again, my opinion.

Final, there are different kinds of collectors out there. Some are investment collectors while others just may like holding coins, others like myself just like to hold and appreciate the history behind them. To each their own as they say. Your dad never wasted his time if he at least enjoyed the hobby. Perhaps he had a side hope that in time they may appreciate it value and one day they will, just won't be in our lifetime.

Hope this helps a bit. I know a lot of this is repeat from other responses. Cheers!
