KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 11:25 am Welcome! Yes, I would say it has a value of $50-75 if sold directly to a collector. A dealer would offer less.

5019kids New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 11:37 am Thank you...my uncle moved to virginia and left me with about 3 hundred 1800s era dollars...and maybe 400 other old silver coins. Have no idea where to start! The tub is about 80 lbs of old silver. I am lost! Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5241 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 11:43 am 80 lbs of old silver! That's a problem I wouldn't mind having. Take your time sorting through it to make sure that you find all the good stuff. This opportunity may never happen again. Report this Post to the Staff
5019kids New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 12:04 pm Have numerous NGC encased MS-70 graded 2006 50 dollar gold buffalos...first strikes...Whatever that means. NGC Ms-65 and 66 encased graded morgans. Some look a lot better that arn't graded or encased. Hundreds. Gonna have to hire an appraiser I guess!! Report this Post to the Staff

5019kids New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 12:36 pm I sure will. I can not accept these and feel honest. I don't think he fully understands the value. Do you agree? and thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 12:51 pm If you take some time to organize what you have by date and mintmark, you can get some idea of value here: http://www.numismedia.com/rarecoinprices/fmv.shtml These are retail prices so maybe a bit high but it gets you in the ballpark.

Bud250r Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 1:08 pm How about some pictures of the loot. Report this Post to the Staff
5019kids New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 1:33 pm I would post more pics..but now it is all in a big gun safe at my fathers house...it'll be safe for him there. If he decides to ever call I can help the old codger market it or whatever. If I wasn't honest I suppose I could have a lot of cash on my hands....darn it!! Thanks guys! Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 6:46 pm That much in a flimsy gun safe. You would be better off hiding it in the attic or something. Most gun safes can be broken into faster than it is taking me to write this. Btw, awesome stash! Now get it out of that bullseye target and hide it or rent a safe deposit box.
