I wound up with 1/8 of the silver my grandpa pulled. I have about $250 - $300 face of silver. I used his coins to build a nice collection around the few silver coins that I had. I've also said that I would not sell his coins (barring any life or death situation).
My problem is that now I have a lot of silver sitting in the safe deposit box (that's a heck of a problem to have!). Its not doing anything for me. I've got $75 face of 1964 silver. That's great - but I can't help but wonder what he would tell me to do - hang on to it just because its his, or trade some of it to continue to build my collection. Maybe instead of having 3 rolls of 1964 dimes, I could have a dime set that covered 3 decades.
I don't want to loose the importance of his coins to my collection, but a lot of his coins were more of a hoard than a collection.
