<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 2206577, member: 6641&quot;]I agree with the comment above.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you to everyone that gave me some idea of value!!!&nbsp; Much of this I had confirmed on eBay but really appreciate the help making sure I didn&#039;t miss anything!</p><p><br /></p><p>A coworker knows I am a collector and occasionally have bought collections the owners inherited and didn&#039;t want (as much as the cash that they could put to more productive use).&nbsp; I catalog the coins, determine market value as best I can, determine dealer value as best I can, then make an offer in the middle of the two.&nbsp; Leaves me some room to sell at a small profit or sit on / add to the collection as desired.&nbsp; I am very upfront with the information and try to provide as much backup information as possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>In this particular case there was one coin (Barber half in VF condition) that was in a box with a note.&nbsp; The note was from the grandfather who had passed the coin to his son, which was then passed to the current son.&nbsp; It&#039;s importance was the date (1899) which was the year of his birth. He wanted his son to have the coin to remember him.&nbsp; This was all explained in the note.&nbsp; I handed the coin back to the wife and asked that the family keeps the coin and maybe consider giving it to their son.&nbsp; I gave them a temporary flip and will pick up an airtite on Monday for the coin.&nbsp; She didn&#039;t know the note was in the box and having read it, she agreed that the coin should stay in the family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
