<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eagletimestwo, post: 246448, member: 9387&quot;]My mother came into a sizeable coin collection. I am holding part of it and finding out about how to deal with it. In the course of that I am finding that it is an interesting hobby and the coins are fascinating. I may even attempt to purchase them from her if we can get a sense of value. What I have are 93 double eagles that were purchased in the early 60s. They were in their same slips as when they were purchased (even including receipts), and the list below includes any notes that were written on the holders. It seems that these coins can be worth a little over their bullion value, but could be worth much more depending upon condition. My ability to grade a coin is limited, but one question is how do the ratings of BU or AU from the 60s relate to the current grading system? Another question is does the collection have more value than the sum of the individual coins? And lastly (for now), what should I do next to determine value? It&#039;s a valuable collection to be walking down the street with, and I am leery of mailing the coins off for grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your help, Dave (see list below)</p><p><br /></p><p>1&nbsp;
