<p>[QUOTE="AdamWeber, post: 986404, member: 27129"]First of all, I am completely new to collecting (I started about midway through the summer).

My family has been really helpful; just about everybody has contributed something to my collection. My mom gave me a coin bank filled with silver Kennedy's and Franklin's and clad Ike's, my grandparents have given me some of their parents' Morgan and Peace dollars, and my dad has given me rolls of wheat pennies, some Indian heads, buffalo and V nickels, mercury dimes, silver Roosevelt's, and an old cigar box filled with uncirculated memorial cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, since I am trying to get accustomed to the grading scale, how would you grade these. I know they are really common dates not worth too much, but I just want to see how I am coming along. I would peg the Morgan at a low MS and the Peace dollar at AU.
