[QUOTE="chip, post: 856452, member: 19122"]1922 peace dollar- 15-20 dollars, Saved by Grandpa since after ww1-priceless. Loaf, I have a lot of coins left to me by my dad, The sentimental value of them is more than I could make selling them, for some perverse reason the vast majority of collectors do not have the same regard for my dads collection that I do. That does not mean that they mean to demean me or make a sport of me when I brought in a bunch of mercury dimes to my local coin store and the dealer said he paid 8 times face for junk silver. I did feel somewhat offended by the term, they called my dads coins junk, but it is part of the jargon and nothing judgemental is meant by it. You might realize a bit more money if you offered it to a family member who could appreciate the value of the provenance. Provenance is another term used in collecting which basically gives a coin some history, and can add value, the pocket piece that George Wasshington carried for instance might sell for more than another example of a coin from the same year and in the same shape. Welcome to the coin talk forum, perhaps getting into the hobby will be more of an inheritance than just the coin that you might sell?[/QUOTE]
