<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lamar, post: 321325, member: 11907&quot;]I am a real nubie to coins.&nbsp; The wife of a very close friend who recently passed away has asked for my help in valueing his collection.&nbsp; A couple of questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. How does one find a dealer or other person to value coins that can be trusted.&nbsp; The range seems to vary widely based on grades and the assignment of grades seems somewhat arbitrary to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. One 1955 S wheat penny that he had was sealed in a celuloid folder and looks like it may have come from the mint.&nbsp; It still has its original red copper color, has no tarnish at all on it.&nbsp; Uncirculated and no scratches.&nbsp; Can I call this a grade 68 or higher.&nbsp; How do I know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry to be such a numbie but the value of the coins varies so widely based on appearance.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks </p><p>Lamar[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
