Message:: [QUOTE="Coinut, post: 1158536, member: 29725"]Several weeks ago my wife and I went thru her Dad's coins, he passed last year. We were dunm founded by the amount of old  coin he had, most were average well circulated, he owned a coin shop years ago but these must have been his extras. We ended up with over $6000 in junk coin. I did keep teh 3 rolls of Indiam Heads, several rolls of Buffalos, culled teh best of teh Mercs, Walkers, Franklins, Barbers, wheats. We had like 12 rolls of halves, 30+ rolls of dimes, war nickles, Several rolls of washingtons. so we went back this weekend and came up with another haul, including multiple sheets of foreign coin from the 1800's( keeping!) 100+ old Chinese coin, plus more halves, Mercs, Rosies, Walkers rolls of washingtons. Now, against my wishes my wife feels we need to unload all the junk silver( I kept the best including a AU-UNC roll of 1955 Rosies, seveal of each year too). I tried to save as much as I could! I just hate to see all that history get melted as they will never be made again but the money is needed and you just don;t know when silver will slide again. It does make me feel good that I am continuing her fathers of the hobby. I just think after all this is over the inventory of average silver coin will be significantlly reduced and may push teh prices of what were once average coin higher to to lower supply. New collectors will be paying for it down the road.[/QUOTE]
