[QUOTE="anniequilts, post: 3667777, member: 83867"]My dad recently passed away. I finally got his safe open and pretty much found what I expected. When I was a kid, we would look thru coins for silver and save it. Searched in 72 for doubled dies - found a few. My dad bought proof sets and uncirculated sets. There is a small jar of buffalo nickles. A bunch of wheaties. A small jar of foreign coins. A lot of just pocket change. Now I need to know what to do with it all ! I brought home the boxes of loose coins to look thru. I know to separate out the silver, but don't know how to tell if it has value more than melt value. I made a list of error coins to check for and have the Cherrypicker's Guide and a book called Strike It Rich with Pocket Change. My sister and I want to sell most of it. I might keep some of the proof sets (they are pretty to look at LOL) and error coins if I find any, but am looking for advice on the safest and best way to sell what we don't want.[/QUOTE]
