<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 2830420, member: 74624&quot;]I&#039;ve tried to be honest to the lady I&#039;m helping out.&nbsp; She had no clue what&#039;s in the collection and I&#039;m trying to keep her informed as I go through the many boxes of stuff.&nbsp; I&#039;ve already contacted a dealer friend who&#039;s willing to buy the collection.&nbsp; I&#039;m presently doing an inventory and reorganizing each box.&nbsp; I&#039;m using the latest blue book values as a rough estimate; I&#039;m not sure how close it compares to grey sheet.&nbsp; One thing I&#039;m keeping track of is the approximate amount of gold and silver.&nbsp; I&#039;m a novice at selling bullion so what do dealers usually pay relative to spot prices?&nbsp; I know they tack on a selling fee but am not sure what the so when buying.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular lady meticulously sorted and rolled her change.&nbsp; It&#039;s sad that the post 1964 coins (other than 1965-1969 halves; maybe 1982 and 1983 non-cents) are probably not worth doing anything with other than taking them directly to the bank.</p><p><br /></p><p>The woman whom I&#039;m helping out didn&#039;t have any children but is close to a niece who has three children.&nbsp; None of them are interested in collecting coins.&nbsp; However, I plan on setting aside a small set of the coins and put them in a nice display case with an engraved plaque in memory of their great grandmother.&nbsp; I think that&#039;s the least that can be done to honor her for all the time she spent with her hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of this has helped me think about what to do with my collection as I get older.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
