[QUOTE="Jhonn, post: 285813, member: 5418"]Just wanted to keep you guys updated on what I've gone through: - Yesterday I dropped $200 in face off at the bank from the collection and in return I received two very nice $100 bills :D. Don't worry, I went through as much of it as I could to check for any obvious/major varieties and errors, but I came up empty handed. - Tomorrow I will be dumping the last of the clad stuff off at the bank, basically about $130 or so in SBA's and clad JFK's. - Over the weekend, I will be pouring through the HUNDREDS of cent-containing envelopes in the collection in order to separate the wheaties from the memorials, and also I will be heading to a local coin shop to pick up lots of tubes for all the silver coins and the wheaties worth selling, and a few note sleeves for the few notes that are worth something. With that all done, the collection should be organized and fit to sell. Then the money from that will be combined with the clad/junk money from the bank and split three ways amongst the 'owners' of the collection. Here are some notable coins/notes I've found already: - Series 1953 (I think) United States note (red seal) star note (!) in VF condition. I think the district on this one is K. Looked it up and the value seems to be somewhere around $50 or $60! - A very nice AU-58/MS-60 "slider" 1950D Jefferson nickel. Actually, this thing looks about just as good as the MS 1950D in my collection! - VF/XF 1924D cent. Nice eye appeal, I think this one leans closer to XF than VF. My wife said I could keep one coin for my effort...think I'm gonna keep both the nickel and the cent as my reward, hehe. :)[/QUOTE]
