<p>[QUOTE=&quot;grading an inheritance, post: 3138927, member: 96929&quot;]Quick backstory:</p><p>My mom finally got my grandpa&#039;s coin collection out of the safety deposit box in her hometown.&nbsp; He died in 1989 so it sat there a long time.&nbsp; Now I have been tasked with cataloging the collection as it has to be split with her brother.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have spent the past week researching on the internet.&nbsp; At first the assumption was that nothing was all that valuable.&nbsp; But the more I researched, the more I began to think that some of these coins <i>might </i>be worth a decent bit.&nbsp; I feel a little uncomfortable walking into a coin store without knowing if these are worth $30, $300, or (wishful thinking) $3,000.&nbsp; So I am looking for advice as to whether I should just take them to a coin shop to get evaluated or if I am right to be wary of doing that and should consider getting some graded by a service.</p><p>Thanks in advance for any feedback.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some phone pictures of some silver dollars from the collection.&nbsp; There are 20+ in a similar condition to these as well as a bunch of other coins of varying quality.&nbsp; The pictures are not great, if the coins look promising, I can try to get better pictures.&nbsp; To me they look uncirculated but I am having a real difficulty having any clue as to where they might fall on the MS scale (and they may well just be AU)...</p><p><br /></p><p>1898</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/hGEyBA8m.jpg?1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/JjGuDsTm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1878-cc</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Pil24GPm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ItEWYzYm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1880-s</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/lTT5BlYm.jpg?1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/fvDy5bEm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1884-o</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/nuDj8Mgm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/8AxEDIOm.jpg?1" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1927</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/alQyKcUm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ySd8nOVm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
