<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jhonn, post: 284159, member: 5418&quot;]Well, not really...technically, my wife, her older sister, and their younger brother inherited a collection from an uncle I don&#039;t think any of them ever even met. The collection has been sitting under a staircase in my mother-in-law&#039;s house, and despite the fact that my wife has told her countless times that I collect coins, it wasn&#039;t until yesterday that her mom &#039;remembered&#039; that they had two full boxes of dirty ol&#039; coins under the stairs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me tell you, I was ecstatic! I brought home the collection last night...rolls of silver quarters, rolls of 40% silver halves, rolls of Franklin&#039;s and Walkers, Mercs, and silver Roosies! Exactly $50 face in &#039;35 and &#039;57 silver certs! Several modern proof sets include the 1992 XXV Olympics commem proof set with half dollar, silver dollar, and $5 gold coins! </p><p><br /></p><p>But not only that...tons of junk coins I can just turn in at face (thought I&#039;m going to investigate them more before I do), including...10+ rolls of bicentennial quarters, 4 rolls of bicentennial halves, 4 rolls of &#039;79 D SBA&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be sure, I&#039;ll be posting lots of pics concerning things I don&#039;t know much about, but I think for now, this collection is worth at least a grand. Once I get it all organized, dump the face junk for cash, and get rid of the rest via dealers, they&#039;ll split the money...which means hopefully at least $300 - $400 for my wife and I.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for key dates? Nada...so far, except for a VF &#039;24 D cent in one of his Whitman folders. I might just secretly keep that one for all my effort! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
