<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WashQuartJesse, post: 571990, member: 18323&quot;]My friend&#039;s Grandfather passed away a year or so ago, he lived to be in his 90&#039;s! He stashed away coins for the majority of his life, we even found old news paper clippings dating way back, suggesting what was collectible and what was worth what. He even had some old hand-written lists.....we&#039;re still trying to find where some of this stuff is but according to his 90 something year old wife he used to hide this stuff in odd places around the house.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My friend thought it would be interesting to sort through the coins after he found out I was into that sort of thing. We drove to his Grandmother&#039;s and he talked to her about sorting through them and she told him &quot;feel free, but that she&#039;d be happy if they were worth more than a hundred dollars.&quot; He left with a few old leather bags.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We found a bunch of Morgan&#039;s, Peace Dollars, Indian Cents and Nickels, Halves and lots of wheaties. Some of the Morgans were beautifuly toned and Uncirculated!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But what I am wondering about, is the 1799 draped bust dollar, which was once worn as a pendant. It has a hole punched through it wwhere the latigo would wrap through. The coin is only worn in one spot where it would be in contact with the chest. Otherwise, it is in truly great condition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He plans to pass everthing on to his future children or if that never pans out, his nephew. We would like to know the severity of value reduction so that he knows to what extent he should properly store the coin. So, if anyone could be of any help it would be greatly appreciated![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
