<p>[QUOTE="canudigit, post: 4222888, member: 111193"]Mountain Man - thank you for your words of wisdom, and I agree that initial evaluation by a qualified professional would seem essential before making any final decisions.

She does understand (now) the significance of this collection as an unbroken whole as opposed to piecing out for maximum gain. A tough decision for her as a non collector, but is someone who also does posses a great respect for things of historical significance. She did seem interested in perhaps initially contacting Mr. Snow - or someone closer to NY of his caliber - for a consultation. I agree that this may be the best way to start. After all, we all know one needs to be fully educated on all the options and the protocol involved thereof. Everyone here has been very helpful with options and opinions that will lead to a best route decision. She would like to thank you all!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not forgotten that some of you requested better individual photos! I did pick up my camera yesterday and will post shots as time allows as I am still working at an away job that prevents this project from my full attention. I 'escaped' briefly yesterday to meet with owner and pick up some other coins she found in the house. Unfortunately this box of indian heads has absolutely NO winners, but found 2 tiny cali fractionals hiding among the bunch. We deduce that these were originally owned by another family member, and not the great uncle of note here. I have never seen these tiny coins in person -cool! Here's a shot I took:[ATTACH=full]1080898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1080899[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
