This gives us time to get to know you, and you time to get to know us. Most importantly, you are captive audience to hang around and actually learn about what you have. This protects you, and you never know, it might cause you to have second thoughts about selling family heirlooms. I know the sister board, Stamp Forum, has done this for me. Dad just passed and left a huge stamp collection. My first instinct was to liquidate it. He never involved me in the stamps. I was a coin person and never picked up an appreciation for his hobby. Anyway, going to the stamp forum and being forced to hang out before selling, I learned why Dad loved the stamps so much. Now I am buying stamps to add to his collection, not selling. Show us what you got! We love pics! It'll give us a chance to school you before you try to sell. You'll know what you got and what it's worth. Welcome! Dave Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 10/29/2008 9:12 pm the 50 post rule is there to protect members from unscrupulous sellers but that doesn't mean you can't post pictures of the coins (1 in each picture) and we can tell you about what you can expect from the coins if you are planning on selling them elsewhere. To do this we would need clear pictures of the Obverse (front) and Reverse (back) of the coin because condition is everything when it comes to value of a coin Report this Post to the Staff
newdavid Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 10/29/2008 10:12 pm Welcome to the forum. I know I definitely like pics and just love to learn about the history and other facts and thoughts of coins. If it wasnt for this family I wouldnt have added and learned about the collection that was given to me. and Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 10/31/2008 9:00 pm yzkid029Welcome to the forum. I would like to ask you a couple questions. How well did you know your grandfather? Do you know what he liked most about coin collecting? I am asking you this, because I am a great-grandfather, and stand a very good chance of being a great-greatpgrand father in the very neat future. The reason I ask is this: Hiow would you feel if your grandson received your colllection, which you enjoyed for many years, and had devoted countless hours checking for errore, varieties, or any other anomily, said the first thing I want to do is find out what it is worth, and licuidate it? I would feel very bad, if one of my grand-kids thought the same way about MY collection! I suggest you find out what it was, that he liked about the collection as a whole. If you did not have the chance to get to know him, before his demise, then I understand your thinking, but if you knew him well, what do you think he would feel? Please excuse my "sermon". It was not meant to be such, but we "old folks" think about our heirs, and what we can do to help them. Some of them appreciate "our" efforts. I believe you are among the latter.
