[QUOTE="Rahn Mckeown, post: 8110069, member: 133090"]Hi all, My Grandpop used to work at a bank and as such saved a bunch of coins during the years…I was hoping to get an idea of the best approach for valuing the collection. the 2 that I found that seem valuable: 1914 $2.5 gold Indian (I’ll post pictures if anyone would be able to estimate the grade…but my picture skills are probably not up to par ) 1881 $5 gold coin but then I also have a lot of rolled 1964 Kennedy halfs- around 100 coins ~30 Franklin half’s from 48-57 And some ‘76 dollars and half dollars These are likely all Philadelphia Mint - are there any ways a novice could inspect for rare defects or tips to avoid getting ripped off?
