My Morgan And Peace Dollar Sets

Step one, get these in a lock box, you have some killer coins.

Biggest problem, even enlarged, the pix are almost useless for evaluation. Photography of coins is not easy, I would prefer a scanner, with coins about 450x450 pixels.

My guess, from what I can see on clearer images, is that the grading wasn't far off. If I was you, I would arrange them by year, then P (no mm), CC, D, O and S mints in that order.

Open a copy of excel. If you don't have it, get the http://www.openoffice.org office program and use the spreadsheet.

First column: date and mint
Second: current grade
Third: current price http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/price...ices61.shtml for MS coins, http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/price...icesgd.shtml for circulated
Fourth: new grade once examined by an expert
Fifth: new price as needed

Once set up like that, you can do things like highlight the prices and instantly get a total.

Once you've done that basic stuff, you can either stop there and update your insurance, or if you want to sell, start contacting buyers.

Without getting too obvious, where are you (state, major city)?

I would post my spreadsheet, but I have no idea how to put a document in here without it blowing up.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

You might consider buying a set of cotton gloves (chemical free), flat cinch stapler, and some new 2x2's to make sure there will be no harm done.

VERY nice selection.

Pretty awesome collection with a lot of key dates! Biggfredd offers a great idea, so you can get a fairly decent value on them.

That 1885 CC blows me away!

The 1893 S doesn't look to be MS-60 either. Looks circulated, like around EF-45.

Very impressive 1894 and 1895 O though.

I just looked over a few key dates, but the photos are too blurry to grade from and are too small. They should be good for insurance purposes though, to prove that you have them and that some are in a high grade. Unfortunately, since one point in MS can mean a huge sum (thousands of dollars) for the key dates, unless they are graded professionally and accurately, you could be way under insured.

nice coins there! thanks for sharing

Well the two coin dealers said they were all real; however, they said some had been cleaned that were highly graded so I'm suspicious of the ones they said were cleaned

Have no idea why there was a double post. How long did this take u
