I want to help! My great aunt was a coin collector and is in her early 90s. My Grandparents were trying to convince her to "get rid of the coins she has in the safe deposit box". I'm hoping I will be in the same situation you are in in the near future!
Good luck and have fun!

Stamps are fun too - but most collections are the common stuff that you can't pay people to take these days.

Let us know what you find. I love those chances to teach people how to generally grade them, how to care for them and look them up in the Red Book. I always tell them DON'T clean them! Have fun! |

Probably just full of those old, silly 1909S VDB cents or a pile of 1916D Mercury dimes. |

A few Philly mint teens and twenties, the rest 30s, 40s, 50s mostly Philly also. 2 Morgans - 1899-O XF, 1921 AU 1866 5 cents - no rim and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is only partially visible - I'd call it FR2 1874 Indian cent corroded G 4 common date Mercury dimes3 Ikes (non silver) $15 in mixed date post-71 Kennedys A few random foregin coins |

Thanks for the update. Sounds almost like your very typical accumulation. Not bad, not earthshaking.
It's a good time to find rolls of silver coins.

Sounds like enough silver to get you and the misses out of the house for the evening. Cool deal.
