Message:: [QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 321509, member: 1242"]Lamar, I don't want to sound negative but unless there are some rare, Key Date, Semi-Key Date coins or exceptionally nice grade old Silver Dollars, Halfs, Quarters, Dimes, Half Dimes as well as Three Cent pieces, Two Cent Pieces, Buffalo and earlier Nickels, Early Lincoln and earlier Small and Large Cents, then an Appraisal may not be worth the cost! If you could give us an idea of what is in the Collection with Denominations, Dates and Mintmarks and a guess at the conditions, we might be able to determine if it is worth having the coins appraised. In the meantime, you might want to pick up a Redbook "a Guide to U.S. Coins" and a Coin Values Magazine from a local Book Store to get some idea of what the coins are worth. The Redbook even has a section on grades at the front of almost every Series and/or Denominations in the book which will tell what is needed (detail and condition) on a specific Series and Denomination of coin to make a certain grade. You can also wait until the next Georgia Numismatic Association Coin Show being held April 18-20, 2008 in Dalton. Some Coin Dealers there or Coin Grading Service Reps. might give you an idea as to what they are worth. Good luck! Frank[/QUOTE]
