babyangeleyes212 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 12:59 pm thecoinguy1964 To own my grandfather's coins would be priceless. Hense the reason I've never sold any. I have around 120 of his coins. I don't know much about coins but I know this date is one of the sought after coins if it is in decent shape. I am a single mom to two boys (5 and almost 16) one of which has medical issues. If it brings me a couple hundred dollars I desperately need, so be it. I'm quite sure my Grandpa would be ecstatic to know that one of his coins helped. Report this Post to the Staff

paxbrit Pillar of the Community United States 992 Posts	Posted 03/04/2018 8:26 pm It's a low grade coin, no doubt about that, but the LIBERTY band is clearly legible, some hair strands are still distinct, and there are visible wing feathers on the reverse. The date is clear and the coin is in nice condition, meaning no rim dings, bag marks, scratches. It's got very good eye appeal, besides the rare date, it's going to stand out to a collector looking for this coin in his price range. I'd add $25 to the price and dicker, but the sentimental value may be much more to you. Do visit a shop, and obtain some coin holders, the little mylar flips and a dual-row red box will be adequate.

I can sympathize, having been raised by a single mom and agree that the money from this one coin may be more beneficial to you than the coin itself. Just make sure, as has been mentioned, that you don't feel pressured into selling it on the spot by a dealer. When you do go to get an appraisal, make sure you have the greysheet numbers in mind (or in hand) as well as the grade that we all pretty much agree on (VG-8/10). Best of luck and if you would like to post any other coins or bills from his collection, I'm sure we would all like to see them.
