Can Somebody Tell What My Coins Are Named And Worth?

Quite an inheritance - congrats.



to the CCF!

I agree with Panzaldi . I would first very carefully remove the coins from those holders . Handle them only by the edges like they were a newborn baby . DO NOT clean any coin , you will diminish their value . Put them back into some kind of safe older ,I'm assuming you don't have any new ones so you might have to go to your nearest coin shop or order cardboard or plastic snap on holders from a coin supply company . Anyway get those prize coins back into holders as soon as possible . Please let us know how you made out with them .

I disagree with T-Bop. I would send them as-is to PCGS and let them decide how to handle them.

I would not do this. They have likely been in those old 2x2s for many decades. And since the OP is unfamiliar with coins there is nothing to gain and much to lose by removing them from stapled holders with rusty, brittle staples. Let a professional handle them.

Quite amazing to see such nice coins here. take good care of them - I would send them into a TPG for grading.

So I made individual threads for all the coins like recommended. I tried my best to photograph them through the plastic since I'm either going to send them as-is to PCGS, or find a local reputable coin aficionado to change the cases for me. I'm asking for a monetary value because I think my next step is to try to get them insured before I send them anywhere. Thank you everyone of you kind welcome and helpful responses.

Usually I skip right by the newby posts but this one was WOW!! You have a serious killer collection that would be better than majority of collectors. I would call one of the top 3 coin grading firms (PCGS, NGC or Anacs) and get these graded and slabbed (heck I would pay for conservation if needed), even if it costs you $1000, you are still ahead and that will get better return when and if you sell them. You literally have 10's of thousands of dollars in these coins. These are some of the first coins made by the federal government! Truly impressive!

I must admit this thread surprised me, generally when a new member posts about such rare coins they are either fakes or so worn or corroded. Thank you for sharing your truely wonderful legacy, generally the only time I get to look at these sorts of coins is when numismaticstudent is on the hunt lol.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa thought I'm glad to hear you have some fine memories. These coins are all out of my wheelhouse but many members here can give you the best advice you are going to get anywhere.
