nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15414 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 6:57 pm A friend of mine recently suffered the death of her last surviving parent ... father in this case. Amongst the turmoil of disposing of the estate in time of grief ... she came across what she described to me as a few 'crates' of coins ... all jumbled together. She wishes to dispose of them ... without getting burned. I offered to help (of course) ... and hence the purpose of my post tonight is that I might on occasion seek the wisdom of the CCF to support my evaluation of the coins. I have no dog in the hunt other than offering my friend some honest valuations on what she should expect to receive from an honest coin dealer. My initial look into the pile she brought by tonight shows some potential ... Lots of wheaties in bags ... US Seated and Barber coinage ... a few Flying Eagle cents ... many foreign coins ... some medals ... and in general an unorganized pile of stuff for me to sort through. Stay tuned for some updates ... appreciate any support the CCF family can offer to help me help my friend. Best David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 8:10 pm Sorry to hear of your friends loss. It is so hard to lose a parent. I am sure she is lucky to have a good friend like you to help out in this bad time. I think there will be many members here, who will help you out in any questions you may have. I do help out in local coin shops four days a week. A big part of what I do is buying collections just as you are describing. I would be glad to help in any questions you may have.

argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 11/24/2012 9:21 pm My condolences to your friend. If she is comfortable with you selling them on her behalf, sell some of them here. Best guess, how many individual coins are there in this horde? Report this Post to the Staff
