Pocket_Change Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 08/13/2010 09:54 am A co-worker asked me yesterday if I could help them identify some coins from their grandmother. They couldn't tell me much, and they didn't know if they were U.S. or world currency. I said I'd be glad to help. I'm expecting some interesting world coins or something like a merc or morgan. Imagine my surprise when they bring in an envelope and pull out two beautiful quarter eagles . These are the first I've had the opportunity to see up close. Beautiful coins. What a Friday!

Napoleon31ft Pillar of the Community United States 528 Posts	Posted 08/13/2010 2:49 pm I am thinking they should not be sent in without being something special. 2x2 flips should work fine. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 08/13/2010 5:49 pm Very cool. What are the dates, mints, and approximate grades? Can you post photos? I hope these coins are now in separate holders. I cringe thinking about two gold collectible coins banging around in one envelope. I agree it won't be worth having them certified unless they are scarcer dates and/or in relatively high grade. Report this Post to the Staff
Pocket_Change Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 08/16/2010 10:37 am Sorry guys, had to go out of town for the weekend. I don't have the coins in hand so dates and pics are out right now, but I offered to package them for the owner (they were in separate plastic bags so that's something at least) so I'll see if I can get photos soon.
