danoldsbb New Member Chile 3 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 09:24 am Good day members of the coin community, my name is daniel, I joined this forum because I found my grandfather coin collection he died 16 years ago. He was a ship captain for 40 years and collected thouthands of coins all over the world and I actually dont know much about the Coin World and would like to learn more. Eventually donate it to a museum or sell it if its worth something to somebody, he has some coins of US, some dimes, nickels, pennys, quarters, half dollars, dollars. Would you like me to upload some pictures of it? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

CarrsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 12:07 pm something you may not know about museum collections. many of them have more coins than they can possibly display. the will frequently sell off donated coins to help fund their operating costs. if your goal is to have your grandfathers coins preserved and displayed and you choose to donate them make sure to talk to the museum about their policies. people would love to see pictures and to help you identify your coins.

danoldsbb New Member Chile 3 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 2:39 pm Thanks for your interest. Images can be only 300kb aparently (low quality) so I created a Google drive with some pictures on full size. Here is the Link to some of the coins if you find it interesting I could take the time to photograph them all. https://drive.google.com/drive/fold...oDJPVIaRsaSQ Report this Post to the Staff

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 3:22 pm That looks like a fun collection to go through! My love for coin collecting started with my grandfathers collection. Nothing of real value but it sure was fun to go through, share on this forum, and learn. I like your Barber quarters. That whole quarters binder is great! May not be museum quality stuff but a nice chunk of silver for sure! Hope you have some fun with it!

smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2330 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 5:28 pm Very nice selection from your Grand-Father... Take a peek at that 1938 Walking Liberty Head Half Dollar...if there is a "D" on the reverse (back) that a semi-key date. Thanks for sharing! smat Report this Post to the Staff

danoldsbb New Member Chile 3 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 8:36 pm Thanks, I will try to make a digital catalogue, there are a few hundred pounds of coins from all over the world, its gonna take me some months. But from the US there are not so many of them. Here are some old quarters and dimes. First kennedy one 1964 has no mint marking Edited by danoldsbb 01/04/2023 9:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 01/04/2023 10:20 pm Looking at the Barber quarters (don't see dimes) check the 1897 mint mark. The 'o' has some value. So does a 1904 s. Most of them look to be in above average condition too. I don't know much about the Seated Liberty quarters. Dont see much value wise In the Kennedys but both those series I don't have much knowledge in. Report this Post to the Staff

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 01/05/2023 08:57 am That's a bummer. Still the 1900's ones look to be in fine or very fine condition which is better than average. You could post up close front and back photos outside the holder on the grading forum here to see what everyone thinks. Each step up in grade has a decent jump in price. Don't think there will be a massive payday but definitely collectible. This is my go to price list for raw/uncertified coins. http://www.numismedia.com/rarecoinp...proof=&plus= Report this Post to the Staff
