<p>[QUOTE="Sean5150, post: 2224051, member: 75607"]So I am one of the suckers who bought an "estate jar of coins". I'm a coin noob, and have become infatuated with the idea of finding lost treasure.

I will probably grade the trade dollar with rim damage just cause it's pretty good condition, but the damage probably makes it worthless? If you guys are interested I can take some pics of all the coins for documentation and you can tell me what you think. I did this two other times for way less money.

Anyways, consider this a word of warning or any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Sean[/QUOTE]
