Don't be afraid to handle them individually, even if Uncirculated. Unwrap them. See what there is. Depending on the degree of sweat you develop in your hands, plan on using fingernails (have none? grow some first) to grab the coins, and handle them only by the rims. Look at what you have. This is why those who first collected them did so, so you could handle them after they were gone. That's the point of what we do here. And now you're doing the same for those who will handle them when you're gone. This is the unwritten commitment we make as collectors - as numismatists - to only be a temporary owner of what we hold. It's a long-term debt, in the truest sense of the word. Report this Post to the Staff

If your new collection is anything like the dime you posted, you have some incredible collection! Second: to the Forum! Third: We are here for the coins and the appreciation of them. As SsuperDdave (and other posters here) have mentioned, these coins are ours only for now and for some other coin aficionado in the future. We have to take care of them now so they'll be just as great for the next collector. In that light, PLEASE be careful of them and listen to the advice offered. If you keep them or if you sell them, you must preserve them. Storage, handling and grading of these coins is paramount. Good luck and God Bless. Please let us know what you decide the direction of your collection and if and how we can help. (There are some VERY smart coin people on this forum and they will have the answer you need).

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 06/03/2013 12:15 am I am sorry to hear about your loss. Your grandmother had a great eye for coins and I am looking forward to seeing more from the collection. The dime is absolutely stunning. I can see it grading MS-63. I would definitely get it certified by either PCGS or NGC though PCGS would be preferred. Report this Post to the Staff
