<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TopcatCoin, post: 1079248, member: 22746&quot;]I am sorry for the loss of your grandfather.&nbsp; My suggestion would be to:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Buy a Red Book and search through them yourself or with a trusted person (wife, relative, friend, etc.).&nbsp; I realize this will take significant research and time on your part but consider it an investment.&nbsp; Sounds like some fun evenings and weekends to me.&nbsp; Separate out the &quot;junk silver&quot; from the key and semi-key dates, as well as any major varieties or attractive toners.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Add up the face value of the junk silver and get several estimates from dealers.&nbsp; Do not tell them that you have any coins other than this junk silver.&nbsp; Sell the junk silver to the highest bidder.&nbsp; This will remove the vast amount of the coins.&nbsp; Take wife on a nice vacation or buy her something really special.&nbsp; Buy yourself something really special too or pay down your debt.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Itemize your remaining coins (key and semi-key dates, major varieties, etc.).&nbsp; Place them in a safe deposit box.&nbsp; Bring that list to several dealers or coins shows to get some quick estimates.&nbsp; For the coins you think look really nice, post those pics here.&nbsp; I am not one of them, but we have a number of experts here at CT on all the series in question who can tell you if it worth getting any of these slabbed. At this point, you may be able to sell some of them here, but again our CT members who are dealers will be better able to advise you at this point.</p><p><br /></p><p>TC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
