<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NathansCoin, post: 174264, member: 6761&quot;]First Welcome to the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you dont collect coins yourself. I say list it on ebay unopened. The fact that its unopen is its best selling point. If you opened it, that would be gone. As for &quot;perhaps&quot; a way to find out if theres actaully 1000 silver dollars in there would be to try and get it weighed. Add the silver weight to the weight of the bag. I would have to beleive that there is little chance of any higher grade dollars in there or let alone any key dates at all. By the sounds of it ( being a large amout of slver coins just put together in a bag) that it would be just scrap coins kept for there silver contant. Silver is still a good metal to have in your porfolio. If your grandfather bought them in the 60&#039;s at the price or around the price silver was selling for as an investment, he/you, would be looking at 1000 oz of silver at 13 or 14 bucks an oz today. Thats mostlikely a gain in value from 1966 to 2006 of 600 or 700% in market value. Silver cost about $1.20ish an OZ in the mid 1960&#039;s. Its been around 13+ an OZ for the past year. Now knowing all this, even if the bag only has ( LIKE I BELIEVE IT TO HAVE ) Scrap silver coins, saved for there silver content alone. It still a good resale rate considering what it could or could not have in it. Also I should note it and has always been a practice to hoard beat up none collectable by standerds coins for te pure metal content. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Natesdad</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT TO ADD THIS &gt;This is just all IMO of course.</p><p>Also. the amount of time it would take to sell all those 1 coin at a time could take a VERY VERY long time. ( Say ) If you listed them on ebay 1 coin at a time, you should expect to spend the next few years dealing with to many people and maybe lossing some of the actaul value. Good luck with wat ever you do. Id be interested in knowing what you end up doing with them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
