[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2612648, member: 13307"]I had a family friend tell me once about "all the coins they'd saved" and asked me to take a look at them (and eventually sell them.) I had my accountant say the same thing - how he had a bunch of coins that he had been saving, and he wanted me to take a look at them and sell them for him. Like you, I got all excited about what sort of massive hoard I was going to be pawing through, maybe some cool varieties or early proofs, something amazing... ...in both cases the total number of coins in each "hoard" was less than 20 pieces. Family friend at least had some cool old foreign silver; accountant had a few 40/90% Kennedy Halves and a couple beat up silver dollars. So, maybe that's why we're saying "Yes, be prepared...but don't spend a week on it." :)[/QUOTE]
