<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 3903690, member: 100720&quot;]Post #2 of 2</p><p><br /></p><p>My next questions involve the Red Book &amp; advice needed on Selling the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. In describing the Grades for the Morgan Dollars, on page 237 of the 2020 Red Book, it describes the Grade of &quot;AU-50&quot; as &quot;Slight trace of wear on the bust shoulder and hair left of forehead, and on eagle&#039;s breast and top edges of wings.&quot;&nbsp; What does it mean by &quot;shoulder&quot;? There is only a neck in the picture of Lady Liberty and no shoulder. (Pic of the page below.)</p><p><br /></p><p>5. In the listings for the Washington Quarters on pages 179-180 of the 2020 Red Book it lists grading descriptions beginning with a grade of F-12. But in the center of page 180 under &quot;Silver Coinage (1932 - 1964)&quot; it has a column for a grade of VG-8. However there is no description of the grading for VG-8. Why? (Pics below.)</p><p><br /></p><p>6. On page 164 of the 2020 Red Book where it lists the Roosevelt Dimes (1946 to Date) at the top of the page it shows 2 pictures of Doubled Dies. The picture on the left of a 1960 Doubled Die Obverse clearly shows the Doubled Die. But I can&#039;t seem to see on the picture on the right of the 1964-D Doubled Die Reverse where the Doubled Die is. I included a picture of the page below. Can anyone help me with this and point out where the Double Die-ing can be seen on the picture?</p><p><br /></p><p>7. I realize that the prices in the Red Book are those that a Dealer would sell coins for. Do I need to buy a Blue Book to figure out what a dealer would PAY for the coins? Or is there a general percentage I can apply to figure that out?</p><p><br /></p><p>8. Is there any similar free and reliable online reference of what Dealers are paying for certain coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>9. What would be the most cost effective with the least effort way for my friend to sell the coins now that she has a basic idea of their basic worth? (She is not going to use eBay.) Is presenting the coins to a couple of local coin shops the way to go? If so, should she bring the list I made for her with the Grades and Red Book prices?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1028976[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1028977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1028978[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1028980[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
