Nice to know there are honorable people like you out there!

I was once in a similar situation, though no where near as many coins.

After I identified and inventoried everything for her, my only request to the widow was that I swap some of the common date Morgans she had for common date extras I had. It helped me fill some holes, without costing her anything.

That's nice that she let you help fill out your Morgan Album, jwguts. I was happy Ann let me keep her father's Buffalo Album in order to complete it. I have since filled 9 holes and have 24 of 64 left to go.

I'll post a few more pics today since I don't have anymore reports ready...

This is 99% of the silver, I had just started rolling the dollars and half dollars to keep them in date order (please ignore all my unorganized items in teh background):

Here is the fabled "White Envelope" up close. It has been seen in other pictures, but here is a good look at everything that was in it. The Half Eagle really looks out of place!

I'll be posting a few more coin count reports in the coming days.

The coins are all so nice!

I know you might not recommend this, but she should have the gold coin graded.
This way you always know it's real and she won't loose it.

Doing the right thing is all about karma! Someday you will be paid for your honesty! You are indeed one of the honest!

There is nothing I hate more than people who take advantage of the elderly!

I tip my hat to you !!!
