Coronet1832 Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 8:28 pm Hi all, I inherited a collection from my grandfather that included rolls and rolls of Canadian coins. It looks like they came straight from the bank, but a relative must have gone through them at some point because I see fingerprints and discoloring. They were not in tight, bank-rolled rolls. I'm trying to decide about selling them and buying coins I enjoy collecting, or keeping them as part of my grandfather's collection. Here's what's he had: 1965-67 Dollars: 40 of each year 1965-67 Half: 40 of each year 1965-67 Quarter: 80 of each year 1965-67 Dime: 100 of each year 1965-67 Nickel: 90 of each year 1965-67 Penny: 100 of each year What do you think? Any advice appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

I was in a similar situation with my father's collection this past year. Some of his coins I needed for my collection to fill a gap or an upgrade. Others that were duplicates I will sell and buy a few coins I need so I will remember my dad both by the coins that were his that I kept, and the new ones acquired from the value of his duplicates. I am not saying to do what I did, just saying it is important to feel you do right with whatever you decide. Report this Post to the Staff

TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 04/06/2018 11:17 am As mentioned above you'd have to be at MS-64 (break even after grading fees) and higher on the dollars and 50 cent pieces. Expect about 10 x Face value from dealers and about 14 to 17 x face value in the retail market for the 65-67 Dollars and 50 cent pieces. Silver weight for the smaller denominations, just be aware that in 1967 the 10 & 25 cent coins were of mixed silver content (some 80% & some 50%) so most dealers use a blended rate to buy them as melt. I wouldn't give the pennies and nickels any value beyond face. All this assuming circulated and handled coinage. Report this Post to the Staff
