[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 182565, member: 705"]Welcome to the forum! Look in the phone book for Coin Dealer---not appraisers as that might work.. As its been said---the 1916-D and 1921-P and D are the harder to find dates---but they are also the dates that the most fakes pop up from--so don't get your hopes up---while I hope that they are real that isn't set in stone. If you can post some good clear photos of the 3 coins listed above---you can pop the coins out of the folder and not cause any problems---do NOT clean any of the coins as that would kill the value. Hold the coins by the rims (edge) when holding them---if you can get good photos of the mintmarks we might be able to tell you if they are real or fake. IF they real then you would need to send them to a grading company---NGC/PCGS/ANACS/ICG They will charge you around $25-$35 per coin to grade them and slab them but in the case that they are real and you want to sell them you will get much more if they are graded and slabbed by one of these companies. But before we get too far---lets go back and see if you can get some photos! I know a few dealers from OH and if you want to PM me what town you live near I may be able to see if any of the guys I know are near. Speedy[/QUOTE]
