<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinchallenged, post: 154106, member: 6272&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll start by saying I know nothing of coin collecting. My grandfather died several years ago and left behind about 1000 coins or so - mostly U.S. and some world coins from when he was in WWII. My grandmother has given them to me to sell for her. So, how do I go about this. Do I try to sell as a collection or individually? Do I go to a local dealer? How do I know he isn&#039;t ripping me off? Or deal with the headache of Ebay? Or post the for sale on a forum? Any advice would be great. I have started making a list of what is there. Unfortunately for me, I did this without recording the mint marks - which I now know are pretty important.:rolling:</p><p>So, here is a not very useful list of what I have:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>half dollars: 1826, 1936, 1940-46, 1951-54, 1958, 1963, 1964, 1966-68, 1974, 1976</p><p><br /></p><p>Quarters: 1844, 1899, 1928, 1934, 1936, 1940-42, 1944-45, 1947, 1950, 1952-56, 1958-64, 1967, 1976</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver dollars: 1879-86, 1888-90, 1892, 1896, 1898-99, 1901-02, 1904, 1921-26, 1934, 1971-72, 1976</p><p><br /></p><p>Dimes: 1865, 1891, 1904, 1912-13, 1917, 1936, 1939, 1941-47, 1951-52, 1956-57, 1959, 1961-64, 1967-68</p><p><br /></p><p>Nickels:&nbsp; 66 buffalo&nbsp; that the year is rubbed off on,&nbsp; 1888, 1898,&nbsp; 1900-01,&nbsp; 1905-07, 1909-10, 1912, 1925, 1928, 1930, 1934-37, 1943, 1952</p><p><br /></p><p>Penny: 1859, 1871, 1880, 1890-91, 1896, 1898-99, 1902, 1906, 1910, 1942-44, 1953</p><p><br /></p><p>1973 sealed set with red trim on clear plastic wrapper</p><p>1861 half penny</p><p>1854 half dime</p><p><br /></p><p>thanks for any help /advice</p><p><br /></p><p>Allan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
