brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 10/04/2007 11:49 pm A friend of our's father passed away last week and he left some coins to her mom. She wanted to know a little info about them and what they are worth, in case she wanted to sell them. I told her I'll ask the best minds in the buisness (you guys and gals, of course) and let her know what I find out. Her they are, obverse and reverse on each: Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 10/05/2007 2:47 pm The 1890 appears to have original surfaces and I would grade it at VF35. I think it would sell for about $15-17. The 1891 has been polished. (I'm guessing that it has a bright shine in spite of the wear?) This coin has F15-VF20 details, but the polishing takes away most of the numismatic value, though there is still intrinsic value because of the silver. I think this one would sell for around $12.50.

BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 10/05/2007 11:02 pm I think they are worth a lot of memories to the person that had them, and to the person that has them now cherish them because they came from the heart.

Sentimental value is very high, keep them and pass them down. Cash value is about dinner for two at Applebees. Report this Post to the Staff
