[QUOTE="mralexanderb, post: 1025961, member: 7851"]I recently was asked to look over some coins that a friend had and realized that most were common 1964 and earlier dimes, quarters, halves and 12 peace dollars. Many of the $s and $1/2s were in manila envelopes so they got real dull and almost gray/green. Not pretty. While I wasn't planning on buy anything I asked if he'd sell at a % of spot silver.

So, now what to do with them. I bought some Whitman coin folders and plan to fill them with the circulated coins.

So, how'd I do? Bruce[/QUOTE]
