Thank you for posting all of these. Really quite an astounding collection assembled by your grandfather. I'm curious if there were other grandchildren these were split up with, and if so what else there may have been. Not that it matters - these are amazing on their own - but that's the way my own grandfather did it. If you don't intend to sell, I'll buck the PCGS advice and say to maybe find a coin show where ANACS will have a table, and walk them in. You'll get a fair grade, attribution of any varieties, and the same slabbed protection as the others, at probably half the cost. Tack on the conservation option and they'll only do the ones they think will benefit.

Coin insurance is expensive (in my limited experience) so you might consider a home safe, or a safety deposit box.

These are gorgeous coins. Your grandfather was definitely a knowledgeable person in numismatics. I'm sure he's been looking for such coins all his life.

I would also recommend you to send coins to PCGS.

Send them out to get graded.

PCGS For The Win-I wouldn't put these in any other holders.

@kbbpll, I got the entire coin collection. The other coins are obviously meant for collecting as they cam in protectors with the with coin name on them. They all came loose in a photo storage box with these twelve in a sealed envelope tucked in the side. They are the only ones that didn't come named which is why I set out to find out what they were.

I had a feeling they were something special from the dates so I moved them into my little lock box with my important documentation but I definitely want to get something more secure if insurance is too ecpensive. I thought about a safety deposit box, but isn't it illegal to store money in them?

Stargirl1180 - I typically do not slab anything however these are a different case based on rarity and value. the reason I previously stated to put these in a different holder prior to submitting them is so they dont accidently touch/hit each other in transit since the staples are not flattened. you dont want anything to damage them.
if you dont feel comfortable doing this, as someone else has stated, go to a local coin shop and have the owner encase them in something that will keep them safe during transit

1. go to the PCGS.com site and read the coin submission guide and package and mailing document under services.
2. CCF will be able give you a value and to tell you if any of them should be conserved. this is an extra cost. we will also be able to tell you if any of them are not worth submitting
3. click Sign-in (Top right) and create an account
4. once you have an account I would select their platinum level as this gives you 8 submission vouchers to start. this will be your best value. any coins more than 8 you will need to pay for.
5. completed the submission form
6. package everything as stated in the mailing document.
7. insure the package based on the value that CCF helps you with
8. I would send it certified mail

i dont slab my coins but I did a large submission a few years ago so if any of comments here is not 100% correct someone will correct it

when you receive the graded coins. repost here are I'm sure everyone will want to see the results.

store them in a safe place that is not humid and void of light.

Thank you so much for sharing your grandfather's coins with us. These are absolutely wonderful coins, and when you connect them to your memories, you have something that no price or value can touch.

My wife and I just retired as coin dealers (and collectors) this year. We sold our collections, because no one in our families would have appreciated them the way we did. That your grandfather preserved his collection for you means that he knew you would see these coins as something very special. Your careful handling of these coins and desire to learn more shows that he was right.

Enjoy the coins and the memories. Again, you have honored us by sharing them with us. Thank you, and please stick around on these message boards. We would welcome getting to know you and your collection on here.

Sorry for your loss. These are a wonderful family heirloom. They will look even better in PCGS slabs, protected against the elements.
