Hello, Another Newbie With An Inherited Collection

Sorry, no more pictures -- all the coins are in the safety deposit box. I had a great picture of all the dimes laid out on the carpet just to show my siblings how many it was, but I deleted the picture after I sent the email.

I'll have to work on getting pictures, anybody ever try mounting a coin in a holder for a higher end scanner? (I got one to scan old photos from the estate).

There are a couple of 1864 2 cent pieces in G condition, but I have no idea if they are small or large motto. I will take those to an expert for sure. Odds are they are large motto...

I put all silver dollars, half dollars, and any coin that I thought could be worth more than $10 in the sleeves I made with acid free paper. The rest (hundreds of Roosevelt dimes, a lot of quarters) went back in rolls.

Thank you all for your input!

This is my inventory of silver dollars. (the 1921's are morgans)

Nice inheritance of coins!
That Peace dollar looked really nice!!

I was in a similar situation a year ago, with the proceeds from the sale of my dad's coins going to my mother. I don't see anything of much numismatic value in your lists, but would still recommend selling them to a local coin dealer rather than a metals broker. I had priced his collection of modern US proofs on metals only for the estate, and was surprised to receive about 25% more than I expected from my dealer. While most of the proofs were common, a few were not.

Hi and Welcome! I would say don't sell any of the silver coins until price is at least $19/ounce. If you are in need of fast cash, sell it. It's up to you!

What kind of foreign coins? Could help you get rid of them...
