So thats it, thats what I got, I realize some of them are pretty much not worth anything but I'm sure some are worth at least something. If anyone on here could help me and let me know what I should expect to get for each of the these, I would be very thankful. I'd like to get rid of the whole lot to one buyer so if anyone on here is interested please list your price here in this forum so other people will be able to see if it is fair or not.

Just on a quick and simple search of several of your Morgans alone, I can only suggest you take your time when seeking guidance and get the advice and guidance from some of the renowned collectors on in this forum.

If you're really interested in divesting yourself of that collection, one approach may be to first determine which are your most valuable coins and ensure that if you're going to sell the entire collection as a lot, you have a fixed value for the most valuable coins, the entirety of the collection notwithstanding.

Also, there are so many newer collectible coins that it's hard to say why the newer coins are part of your collection; e.g., were there not many made? Is it a variety coin for that year? etc. Is there any accompanying notation or notes about the newer coins?

To me, it's untenable to think about inadvertently selling coins worth more than $500 as part of a collection of many other coins worth ten times less.

This is solely my perspective after having stopped collecting coins for 20 years and only recently got back into the mix with a collection that weighs around 1000 pounds. If I took the advice I'm giving to you about singling out the most valuable coins, I might be left with 900 pounds of coins worth face value to $30. Then what?

I hope you can take and post some pictures....I'd love to see the 1886-O and 1897-O

When I was looking to sell $600 face value 40% silver half dollars, I searched for places that bought coins online. One of them was a big coin outfit in Florida- his quote was less than amusing, they all were except https://www.unitedwebuyitall.com The dealers here don't pay squat and charge a mint.
I agree ebay may be your best bet but time consuming. Hope this helps- I am not advocating them just passing on who I used and it worked good for ME. When the check arrived there was a flyer that said what all they buy- they buy it all. Hope everything works out for ya. Mark

Most of them were purchased from the Morgan Mint it seems. Could anyone recommend a place for me to take them in Tampa that won't try and scam me?

The Morgan Mint? I'm afraid the scam has already occured. Even if you get the market value for your coins it will still be considerably less than what your grandfather paid for them.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

I have done a lot of transactions with Dale's Coins in Dunedin, FL , which is just north of Clearwater on the way to Honeymoon/Caladesi Islands, when I am in the Tampa area on business. You should be able to Google map them...that's how I found them. They are really nice and even though I have never sold to them I would suggest giving them a shot over the other shops in the area. I even do orders over the phone with them with great success.

BTW that's where I got the counterfeit 3 Center Prethen has!
