Me as well Bill I'll drive south from Augusta to me up with you and canudigit!!!

 

Congratulations! Nice Collection!

 

Makes sense, I second to that. Some collectors are interested to purchase coins they are missing in their collection, and they pay more for them because it is less costly than buying a set. I have been there.

 

Just broke out Fly collection and Indians quick assessment without seeing just looking at my open slots! These pics opened will keep us busy!1858-LL,1856's 1860 Pointed, 64 w/wo/ L,64 copper/bronze,71/72 bold/shallow? 1908/09 s Pheew!
Thanks for sharing call insurance company.

 

Thanks everyone for your enthusiastic responses. I am getting messages with offers but this collection is NOT yet for sale. I am seeking guidance only at this time. I promise I will post much better photos ASAP - but I am away from my home and good camera - so please wait for nice shots! Here I will post a couple more lousy phone shots of some of the examples I have been getting messages about. Really don't do justice because of the album situation but gives some idea.

 

@canudigit Please be sure you read this. It's really important.

 

That 1909-S is SPECTAACULAR. May have a shot at MS64

Amazing story and coins ...

 

Thank you for alerting me to the delicacy needed to remove these coins from the album. It may not have been opened for over 100 years?? Although the provenance is a work in progress, I do know the original collector was near 100 years old when he passed. It then went to his nephew who just passed away at 103!! Good family genes LOL! Also the album has some sort of heavy slightly corroded old staples on the open ends I must remove as well. There is no rush to sell. My head is spinning! Next I will look at the link to Wayte Raymond auction you provided - thanks so much Dave. I need a crash high end education to get a better handle here. BTW the 1858-SL is a proof in case you cant see the notation, and it is looking very very glamorous! This is very exciting for me, and a darn special privilege to boot.

 

This set is spectacular. Thanks for sharing.

 

I think it's very exciting to all of us!!!

 

OK I just read the Wayte Raymond album link - it's got me pretty nervous about the way you have to slide the coins out. I can see on the end how tight the inner sliding tray/holder is too. If the album itself is not worth anything would I be better off peeling the top off to extract the coins rather than sliding? These darn pages are thick but cardboard is layered so maybe peeling?? Or how about cutting around the clear windows with a surgical razor?

 

Myself I would wait notify POA of estate we need to slow down breath and realize that there some cost going to be occurred and maybe wait to get the silver/gold coins together in "secure place" as I'm quite sure" we'll read about this collection in coin mag in the future because the story is much more valuable the product. Thanks again can't wait.
" Even if God allows you to bring solid gold bars to heaven" what do you have? A story and oh Yes "paving stones".

 

WOW.. I have no words

 

You can remove the coins without harming the pages. I'll try to explain the process in the morning if someone has not gave you the proper way.
