They're all in EF to AU range, so while valuable, I'm sure not going to retire off of them. In these grades Redbook values them at $90-140 a piece. I know that the Redbook isn't particularly accurate, but I haven't gotten a chance to check out the completed e-bay auctions yet. Even so, not bad for a buck a piece.

I know this may sound sacreligous to most of you, but I never really cared for the Morgan or Peace dollars. I'm way more interested in early coppers, half dimes, and barber coinage. I am tempted to let these coins go in order to buy more coins that I truely enjoy collecting. I'm not sure why, but I feel like it would be disrespectful for me to turn around and sell these coins as they were, basically, a gift. So, I don't think that I'll complete either set. Instead, I'll just hang onto these coins, and maybe one day I'll have a child to pass them on to.

I think it would be very selfish to just sell the coins the guy had saved for 75 years and was nice enough to give them to him at a steal rate when he could've made some money on them including the old currency by selling them to a dealer. I think Tols has made the very best decision and I am proud of him that he wont be a sell out to make a quick buck.

My recommendation to TOLS was not to sell the coins for a quick profit! By selling off the extras, TOLS could use the money to complete one and possibly two Peace Dollar Collections which would be much more vauable than a few scattered Dates sold individually. Also, with the remaining coins and a little time and money, TOLS could put a fairly decent Collection of Morgans together which again is much more vaulable than just a few scattered Dates sold individually. These Collections are what he/she would want to pass down to his' or her' future children!

This would be no disrespect to the old gentleman that sold him the coins at face value as I am sure that he knew what he was doing! He has given TOLS a great opportunity to complete several Collections and now it is up to him/her to take the next step!
