<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Dore, post: 3156808, member: 96515"]Thanks for the sympathy. I blame myself for getting my hopes up so much. Even when she told me that somebody had gone through and taken all the "good stuff" I tried to convince myself that the average person looking through a collection like that wouldn't know much about what is worth something and what isn't. But in this instance I was wrong, and she did know exactly what to take. I'm upset for my friend. It was her aunt that took everything when the grandparents passed. She took all the jewelry and a lot of other valuable stuff too of course. I didn't get the whole story until today. It's not a total loss though. There was still a significant amount of wheat cents left. Maybe a few hundred. Not much value there. And about $40 FV of silver. Including $6 FV mercury dimes. A few of which seem VF or may be one or two EF. Nothing great I know but anything worth more than melt value is still good. Also 3 peace dollars, one of which in nice condition. And a single walking liberty half dollar. Even the buffalo nickels got taken except for a small handful. It really does suck because she told me there was some half cents and some 3 cent nickels in there, so I know there was some really really cool stuff at one time[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
