<p>[QUOTE="Lilcatwoman, post: 39915, member: 2468"]Thank you, Mike, for all the good information. It's a little overwhelming, though; it just shows me how much I really *don't* know about coins. I'll get a book on coins as you suggested and, in a few minutes, I'll do as you suggested and check ebay. I had looked on ebay a little before but not much, because I wasn't sure if the prices on ebay are accurate. I know when I've looked at other types of things on ebay, the items generally sold for a lot less than what you pay retail (which makes sense, since they're auctions) So what's on ebay is a pretty good indication of the value? But, I guess value is defined as what someone is willing to pay for something, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>"Or hook up with someone you know and trust,and I mean that ,,know and trust nothing less.This is an order to you-do not do anything until you know at least some basics otherwise you will get burned..</p><p><br /></p><p>That's just it: I don't know anyone, so I'm not sure how to go about this. So, I appreciate your advice. Several months before my Dad died, he asked me to try to find out what they are worth, and I found a couple of guys on the online bulletin board at work who said they could do that for me, but I don't know them, so I'm not sure that they are trustworthy. Someone else suggested I take them to a shop here but, again, how do I know if they'll tell me the right thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I'm in Charlotte, NC, which is a long way from CA. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Thanks, again, for all of your help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best,</p><p>Jamie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
