Sorry to hear about your grandfather, but happy to hear he left you some nice coins.
One thing you have to understand that on a site like this, sometimes someone will
tell a big story .. for many different reason.
While your story sounds very believable, there will be some that will hold back.
Having pictures will help a lot.
Knowing a few things can help us guess at a grade. For example
- can you see all four numbers in the date (1916)
- Do they have full rims.
- are there any damage, scratches, dings etc.
Once we see the pictures there are many members here that will give you some advice.
There will be ways to sell or pawn one of the coins, to fund having the others slabbed.
In my opinion having a coin like this slabbed by PCGS then NGC will bring you the most money.
If you have a good honest coin shop in your area, I am sure they would be able to help
you attain the most profit for your coins. Lets say they are all real. One of these coins
at a local shop could bring $500 to $1000, much more if they are in better grades.
Selling one to the local dealer like that, and then use a couple hundred to send the
other coins in. It could be a couple hundred for express slabbing and shipping/insurance,
maybe closer to $100.
Of course we are back to .. if they are real. Again having pictures and having them
weighed on a coin scale will help in giving our opinions.

Yes, PLEASE post pics here before you do anything else(like submit for grading or selling them)....I'm eager in anticipation. We can at least approximate the value for you. If you can see the "6", but the other numbers are mushy or non-existent; the coin is most likely in the G-VG range, which would mean $2,500-$5,000 range. If they are cleaned, the value definitely decreases; though I'd say more like 20-30% on this particular key date since they are scarce enough to be heavy in demand. Tarnish is often actually a GOOD thing on old silver coins, since it is more likely to have original surfaces.

I think the rules are that you need 250 quality post before you can sell on this forum.

I just went back and read your post. So far I don't think you have done anything for me to think you are trying to scam anyone, just when it comes to high dollar coins, that are known to have a lot of fakes, people will be cautious.
One thing .. it is rare for someone to have a 1916 quarter and you have four. If this turns out how I, and most members here, would like to see it turn out, that you have four real and good grade coins.
That would make your grandfather a very smart man, to have put away four key coins like this.

Here's an example that is graded Fine-12 by PCGS, probably the top grading service. This is a moderately-circulated coin with a full date. It sold recently on Heritage for about $6,000. If your coins look like this they potentially could sell for about the same, but only if they are graded by PCGS, NGC, or ANACS! We're serious about that; you're throwing away money if the coins are real and you fail to get them graded. If your coins don't look like this they are almost certainly not the real thing.   |
