[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 35292, member: 1749"]What do I need them for? I don't really need anything. I mostly collect Morgan dollars. I'm always trying to expand my collection and am trying to add a little variety. I guess I don't want my kids to be bored with Lady Liberty when I kick off. I liked the look of the coins, but am not starting a British collection. Just looking at some non-US coins. My first thought was to buy them, keep a couple of the best, and sell the rest (to buy more Morgans). I had no idea of the value. I have had tremendous luck in antique shops. Maybe it's the area. There are no coin shops nearby. These antique shops are consignment run. The stuff is tagged and dropped off. I've picked up some very rare Morgan VAMs and a bunch of other stuff.
