<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 5127652, member: 100459"]I didn't really get into the "game" until I inherited my fathers coins (I don't know if he was a collecter or hoarder.) He had a few Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, Liberty Walking half dollars, but there was no rhyme or reason with his coins. They were only in a large jar.) After going through his coins, I organized them and found most of his coins were junk. However, to get back to the 1907, I thought it was a pretty coin. It wasn't until I search out information about it and found out the cost, that I lost interest in it. I still don't have an interest. However, about a year later, I west to a coin store and saw the 2009 UHR Gold Coin. It had been graded by PCGS. It came with the shipping box, the wood display box, a book that was still in its wrapper, and the graded coin. I didn't know much about grades, but I knew the higher the number, he more they cost. It had been graded MS 68, which I though was a great grade. I looked it up in the Red Book and other books and magazines and most of them only had a value in them of MS70 or MS69. When I asked around, I was told I would only get a little above melt. Anyway, I liked it, and bought it 10 years ago for $1,300. I would appreciate it if anyone had any idea of sources of coin values.</p><p>Anywa, I only buy what I like, and I liked the 1016 gold coins: The Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin, The Standing Liberty Centennial Gold Coin, and the Liberty Walking Centennial Gold Coin. I have not had them graded and if they are sold, my son will have to do it, but he likes them too much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
