dimes: all MS66 from PCGS 1953-s, 1948-S, 1946S, 1947S
quarters all MS65(PCGS): 1962,1963,1962D,1960D,1953S,1958D,1959D,1963
and one graded at MS66 1952D On these you can just look them up in their periodically-updated online price guide; here's that link: http://www.pcgs.com/prices/default.aspx . . . That said, it pays to remember, coins are like real estate, in that each is unique. |

I've had people write unsolictied emails to me to buy my collection...i dont know these people...or how they got my info. First thing you should do is get them into a safe deposit box if you have not already done so. If people you have never seen nor heard of are emailing you to buy your collection it cannot be a good thing, and I would suspect that they are counting on you not knowing the true value of any of them and taking them off your hands at well below wholesale if they can. Or worse yet, if word of your coins fall on the wrong ears you could be a target for burglary. Personally, I would start replying back to any unsolicited emails with this...... "Thank you for your offer but unfortunately I have already sold the entire collection." |

ebay is a great tool but its a pain selling 100's of coins unless your used to it. I would offer up the quarters in a set on here. I know people like me would be interested in buying things like that. You might not get what ebay will get you, but you won't have to deal with sending them out to 100's of different people. Good luck though. Rememebr if you have any questions. This is the ebst place to ask. There are a ton of honest collectors here who aren't trying to solicite

good advice all around...I hadnt thought of tellign them I had sold my collection already---well I dont really know where to start tho...i guess I can put a few images up and see..someone commented about large cents I have some nice ones and some well barely can tell its a coin...
so will just post a few here keep in mind I'm not a prof photographer
some coins I have NO idea what they are or where from or how old... pics woudlnt post (didnt want to upload for soem reson) so ii will try again tomorrow...anyway I have a 1803 1805 (more or less can barely read the date) 1817 1824 and 1821 (can read date and liberty in the head band...etc. also have others like 1858 I thought I ahd hundreds of coins I better say more like thousands... I have one coin must be an ancient one I dont recognise the writing I can tell its silver but its paper thin...and if anyone knows about british coins I have one from get this 1626. and its very nice clear etc well for 485 years old its pretty clear I could read brittania are : rex , I have sets complete--and one really intersting set of nickels is missing one date 1942P - 1945S its jsut missing 1944s and they appear to be uncirculated..probably put togethr in 1950 or so..and someone foolishly took the 1944S out--i have other 1944 S's but none as nice as the rest of the set. will try to post pics tomorrow. THe gold dealer I think tried to cheat me on some (just ahd the feelign he was trying to) so I only sold him a few coins the rest I'm going elsewhere...

Worth about $10-$12 on ebay, decent coin but with problems. It sounds like you have better coins though so no worries. |

Mostly all good advise has already been given here. For one thing you should never even open emails sent to you by someone you don't know or a company you requested to send you something. Many, many viruses are associated with such emails. Also, if someone knows your email address, the next step is where you live. Be carefull. Do not open emails you do not know who sent them. DELETE. As already noted first purchase a copy of the Red Book. Do not buy the latest version though. All prices in that book are excessive so a 3 year old version would be a little more accurate. If you can not find an older version, then with a newer one just deduct about 20%+ from any prices shown. The same is basically true of the PCGS price listings. Those too are exdessive so people would think their coins are worth having slabbed. Already as noted ebay probably is the best place for prices since if a coin is sold for XXX, then that is what it is worth, regardless of any price guides. Also, as already noted you really should consider a safe deposit box for at least now. For some reason people are finding out about your coins since you get emails about them. Too your posting info here but this should be considered a safer place to discuss coins. Never give out your home phone, address, real name or anything that could end up in a home invasion. Always better to be safe than sorry. Mostly if you do not need the money right now, I suggest you really take your time and evaluate what you have. As noted already, stick around here and get to know what is good, bad, not smart, etc. Keep asking questions. You may not get the greatest answers but you usually do get answers. Again, I can not stress enough not to open emails you do not know where they came from. Do not discuss coins with people you do not know. Or just have me come over to your place and take them all away for free. Then no more problems.    |

Carl --how'd you know I was born at night? trouble is --just not last night
i posted some pics of what I think is an ancient coin on another thread..i have no idea how old it is etc...and I think will post some pics of a british coin from the date it looks like 1626 (my eyes could be wrong) ..anyway will post that in the british forum or ask my neighbor he is from scotland he may know......in the mean time if any of you have a coin you need chances are I have it...somewhere...may not be the best condition ...just like me when you get to be old you probably arent perfect...without some problem or other..just ask my doctor...
