This could get lengthy. My 93 yr. year old Pop just had to go in assisted living. He fears he can't afford it. He has asked me to liquidate his collection to supplement his expenses. His lifelong collection is in my hands.The funds are not needed to provide. Yet his state of mind cannot be convinced of this.
I am rapidly approaching 68yrs. in this lifetime, and cannot remember him not collecting coins.
This endeavor began upon my return home from sorting thru his stash. Thus far I have accumulated about $20,300 in less than a month both @ LCS as well as my ebay store.And this is only the tip of the iceberg. This task is not easy for me to do. Assisting in eradicating my dad's legacy.
Anyways, I will be seeking the advice of those of you here.
I want to ask all of you here to tell me what your looking to aquire and chances are I can accommodate you.
At least 2 more trips up to GA. to get it all back down here.I will elaborate further later.
Thanks for reading.

Not likely he will have any, but I collect Mexican Numismatic Medals.

I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

I am sorry to hear about your Pop's declination; he sounds like a great person... and you as well, honoring his wishes.
Hoping the best for you and your family. Best of luck to you with this task as well.

That's imo one of the worst parts of collecting. The collection and collecting end. It's really sad for me to see collections go out like this, but I'm sure all of the coins will go into the right hands. If you have any certified proof nickels/quarters from the 50s to the 70s I might be interested in buying some. Preferably PR67 and up. I know, it's nothing exciting, but it's pretty much all that my budget will allow. Oh well, I enjoy collecting proofs either way lol.
