<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Dore, post: 3154713, member: 96515"]I just got exciting news! I was talking to a dear friend a while back and she told me that her mother had tons of coins that have been thrown into jars for 4 generations. I said I'd love to go through them and organize them for her. I made an offer to do this in exchange for being able to keep a few coins I like to cover costs of materials. She discussed it with her mom and she agreed! I get to pick up this hoard in a couple days. I'm almost shaking with excitement right now. This is there thing I enjoy doing the most. I'm going in armed with a bunch of 2x2 flips, some coin tubes, and some album pages. I'll have to pick up an album to put them in. I know I'll be dealing with coins that I have very little knowledge of, so once I get them I'm sure I'll be back here with tons of questions seeking advice, but for now does anybody have any preliminary advice going into this? I can't think of any questions until I see the coins so I know what I'm dealing with. Unfortunately she did say another family member picked through it already and pulled what she thought was valuable, so I'm sure most or all of the silver is gone, but I hope she wasn't armed with any numismatic knowledge and I may be able to find some hidden treasures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
