Friend of a friend called. I’ve got some coins…

Says he has 86 silver dollars. I’m figuring a couple hours, worn and bent. Just a quick count. Maybe not

that 1900 o/cc is a sweet piece as well as the trade dollar and the 32d quarter.. probably 1k value in those 3 alone

 

And about 100 Silver Eagles, many slabbed

 

Got your work cut out for you, old boy.

 

WOW! Great "Show-n-Tell."

 

Exactly what does your friend's friend want you to do?

 

I'd be out of my depth...

 

I'm confused. Maybe I didn't read everything. Did you cherry pick or buy the entire lot?

 

The man doesn’t need to sell. That makes it easy. Other than the Morgan and early Indians I own most of them, many in even higher grades. The Onondaga County Numismatic Association has a coin show with 15-20 dealers on third Sunday of the month. I’ll go with him as I know several of the dealers.
Some may never get to the bourse
I’m gonna need VAM help but it’s easy to sell into a silver worldwide shortage. And the Silver dollars could wait till October
Or I could send/deliver some to a VAM expert. Now where do I find one of them?

 

My call to make. Haven’t had but an hour to play yet.

 

Looks like days, if not a few weeks of nothing but fun. Enjoy yourself and may he have a great time as well!

 

That's a pile of silver. Heck, that's a pile of everything.

I was suspicious of the trade dollar, and that made me dubious about whatever came next -- but no, this looks like a regular old accumulation.

Still not sure about the trade dollar, though. It looks to me like the devices are fading into the fields in a couple of places on the obverse, and I don't like the look of the dentils on the reverse. But recent feedback tells me that I've gotten overly skeptical judging photos.

Sure is a good time for him to be selling silver!

 

Nice display of Americana coinage. Hmm. What was this friend's number again? I must have misplace it.
Just kidding. Nice coins!

 

Did anyone think, "why am I looking at all of those coins"? The novelty wore off after like, the pic of the scattered coins on the table.

 

Well, the bad news is... the Trade Dollar is definitely a fake. No question about it. Not even close...

The good news is, there's a whole lot more to look at.
