<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cocoinguy, post: 1076722, member: 28739&quot;]My father passed away on December 30th.&nbsp; His passing was unexpected, to say the least, and it&#039;s been a lot of work to help all of his final affairs in order.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a son, one of my duties was to swamp out my dad&#039;s 1990 Ford Taurus.&nbsp; The car was a mess-- there were things growing in there that easily could have driven off with the car on its own.</p><p><br /></p><p>When going through the trunk, I lifted out heavy bag.&nbsp; Looking inside, I discovered amongst rolls of modern pennies and nickels a significant coin collection.&nbsp; I took it to a coin shop for appraisal today, and the gentleman there said he would pay around $780 if he was buying the lot.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I did, however, want to share the collection online to see if anyone wanted to give me a second opinion, or-- failing that-- could give me any idea of some of the coins might be worth a bit more than what we were told.</p><p><br /></p><p>The list of coins includes:</p><p><br /></p><p>1934 Eagle Silver Dollar (worn)</p><p>US MORGAN SILVER DOLLARS (ALL COINS WITHOUT MINT MARK AND CIRCULATED WITH MINOR WEAR UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED)</p><p>&nbsp; 1921 </p><p>&nbsp; 1921-S Qty 2</p><p>&nbsp; 1900-O</p><p>&nbsp; 1889 Qty 2</p><p>&nbsp; 1888</p><p>&nbsp; 1884</p><p>&nbsp; 1881 (very worn)</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>BEN FRANKLIN HALF DOLLARS (ALL CIRCULATED AND WITH MID-MINOR WEAR)</p><p>&nbsp; 1960 Qty 3</p><p>&nbsp; 1960</p><p>&nbsp; 1959</p><p>&nbsp; 1958</p><p>&nbsp; 1954 Qty 3</p><p>&nbsp; 1952</p><p>&nbsp; 1951</p><p><br /></p><p>Indian Head Pennies (ALL CIRCULATED BUT STILL IN FAIR CONDITION)</p><p>&nbsp; 1904</p><p>&nbsp; 1900</p><p>&nbsp; 1893</p><p><br /></p><p>1925 Los Estados Unidos de Mexico 50 Cetavos Piece&nbsp; (CIRCULATED AND WORN)</p><p><br /></p><p>1872 Canadian 25 cent Piece (CIRCULATED)</p><p><br /></p><p>1933 New Zealand Six Pence (CIRCULATED)</p><p><br /></p><p>1938 Newfoundland One Cent Piece (CIRCULATED)</p><p><br /></p><p>Also included in the collection are 16 1 troy oz silver pieces and 2 1 troy oz silver rounds, and some various other coins deemed not to be of any particular value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve attached what pictures I can.&nbsp; Admittedly, they pictures are kinda crappy (sorry, I&#039;m working with just a point-and-shoot of my mom&#039;s-- if I get access to my SLR I&#039;ll post better pics later on if anyone requests them.)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii76/cotrackguy/DSCN0090.jpg?t=1294803800" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii76/cotrackguy/DSCN0113.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The wear on the 1881 coin is the worst.&nbsp; The 1921 coin is pretty close to the rest of the other silver dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii76/cotrackguy/DSCN0147.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii76/cotrackguy/DSCN0148.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>He also had one 1923 Silver Dollar Note, in pretty poor shape.&nbsp; It was fun to see, though ($20 bill for size comparison.)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii76/cotrackguy/DSCN0144.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The other coins that were deemed to be not worth much, if anything else at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
