Parker, post: 7525063, member: 106405"][ATTACH=full]1299383[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1299384[/ATTACH] My only 'big-Deal',I had an older friend withwhom I metal detected occasionally. He had a rather eclectic coin collection, so when he died, his widow had me do an appraisal. At the time the value of his U.S & foreign coins, Franklin Mint silver, etc. came to about $12K. His best coin being a 3-legged Buffalo nickel XF-45... & next were 3   more common CC Morgans in the GSA Holders.. Otherwise rather common coins.  I advised her that she might expect 50%-65% of my appraisal amount if selling to a local LCS. (I also asked her to let me make an offer when she decided to sell.) She called about 4 months later and told me she had an offer of $7000...I offered $8500 & we both were happy. I've long since sold off the collection but kept my friend's Dansco Lincoln cent album spending probably another $300 investment in filling uncirculated cents in holes.The beat goes on....J.T.[/QUOTE]
