<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bfwolf, post: 1051598, member: 28145&quot;]Thanks for all the advice, guys.&nbsp; I went to the coin dealer and was disappointed with both the offer and the process.&nbsp; I know the guy has to make a profit, but he didn&#039;t talk to me at all about what grade he thought the coins were, how much each one was worth, etc, and I got the distinct impression that he was really lowballing me because of my lack of knowledge.&nbsp; He just wrote down a bunch of #s and made me an offer.&nbsp; Then said I couldn&#039;t keep the paper where he had valued each coin because then it would become an official appraisal and they&#039;d have to charge me a $150 appraisal fee for it.&nbsp; Maybe that&#039;s how it is at all coin shops...oh well, live and learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did learn some valuable things though.&nbsp; There was a lot of change that was either rolled or just loose...I had no idea that it had any value but turns out it&#039;s older coinage (like 1959 quarters) that has silver in it.&nbsp; I also learned some other coins that I had no idea had any value contain gold.&nbsp; If a coin has silver or gold in it but no value beyond that, where&#039;s the best place to take it for maximum value?&nbsp; There must be somebody willing to pay darn near market price for the silver/gold content, no?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also decided to take better pics of the coins I&#039;ve got....so without further ado here&#039;s a more comprehensive look at the coins I&#039;ve got.&nbsp; I&#039;d really like advice on what I should get slabbed.&nbsp; I&#039;m not posting the Saint-Gaudens or GSA Morgan Dollars because I&#039;m definitely getting those slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
