There could be more, in single wrappers, I guess. But I am not sure that these are the coins the appraisal are calling $20 Libs. I will look up the mint marks and try to find any similar coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is something on that appraisal that I am having confusion about.</p><p>It says:</p><p><br /></p><p>19&nbsp; G.B.&nbsp;&nbsp; Gold&nbsp; &nbsp; Sov</p><p><br /></p><p>I take that to mean there are group of 19 British sovereigns.

Is there a way I can go to one in person? I wouldn&#039;t even consider flying or traveling with this collection alone. </p><p>I understand the value of the grading, but would like to know more about how it is done. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will research the mint marks as suggested, and I will post a new batch of pix soon. There are so many more coins and paper. :bigeyes:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
