<p>[QUOTE="Yankee, post: 648169, member: 18618"]Yesterday my 81 year old father in law decided to look in his SDB at the bank. He hadn't looked in there for more then 50 years. He has over 100 silver dollars dated from the 1800s to early 1900s. He doesnt know much about coins or value and brought me just 6 coins for me to look up for him. 4 of the coins are common CC dollars worth under $20.00 but he also had a key chain with a silver dollar on it. It was one of those key chains that dont damage the coin when you put it on it. The date didn't strike me as rare it was a 1928 no mint mark coin but when I looked it up I saw it was the most sought after coin in the whole series!. The condition of the coin I believe is between fine and very fine and its worth is in the hundreds of dollars!. I removed the coin from the key chain and placed it in a holder for protection. Tomorrow he will bring me all the other silver dollars from the box. Its exciting finding treasure like that and there's no telling what else he may have. I wonder if I should send the 1928 silver dollar to PCGS for grading? Does anyone here think it would be worth doing so?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
