[QUOTE="aandy767, post: 267134, member: 9919"]Neat site, glad I found it. I'am new to the sport but ahead of the game. My grand dad loved to collect coins. My brother, sister and I have about 500 rolls of Canadian cents. 500 rolls of US cents, maybe 50/50 wheat. We also have quarters, halves, dollars, mint sets (from US CA England New Zeland). OK the plan is to deal with the pennies first they are really heavy, and I have moved them four times. About to move again. Canadian cents are from 1960-1969 unc.. some have spots.. Might scrap them out? US cents... some dealers have told me to spend newer than 1959, but most of them are unc... and 1/3 are nice and red. Dealers also say they will give me 2 cents for a wheat cause they sell them for 3, but about a 1/4 of them are 1950-1958 unc and nice and red. I went to the coin show in grapevine texas yesterday and one guy who said they were worth 2 cents (wheat) then offered me $2 a roll about the time I walked off. He was helpful but I am in no hurry. some of the better coins are 1955s unc real bright...1958..1959 60p 64d 68s 81 83 all red and unc. alot of coins he labled vf bu and unc but they are brown What to do? spend post 1959 cents that are not red, even though grand dad marked a bunch bu very fine, but they are brown? or save these fifty years? should I keep red unc post 1959? ebay? spend? save them for fifty years? I think the red wheat rolls should go to ebay. or save fifty years? Whats up with the red book/dealer dispairity? And wher can I get their coin value guide. Thanks Andy[/QUOTE]
