<p>[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 1656122, member: 15488"]Recently one of my brothers and my Sister-in-law drop by fro a visit. Her father recently passed and left her some coins. They asked me to evaluate them. They were mostly common date and low grade silver coins that he had accumulated. I suggested they take to a couple of dealers in their area and sell as close to melt as they could get. They offered to sell to me but I was not in a position to spend the amount needed. The she handed me a ring box and I liked to have fell over when I opened it. Inside was an AU 1909 Indian Head $10 Gold piece! It was inserted in the slot for the ring. They had no clue what they had. I carefully put it in a 2X2 flip and showed them what it was worth.</p><p>I could have easily purchased those coin for less than what they were worth, but felt the thing to do was to explain the value and send them on their way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
