[QUOTE="Farns, post: 452667, member: 16124"]Good evening folks! Googled up this forum tonight, and after about 3 minutes I gather that this is the place I need to spend some quality time! About 3 years ago, my father passed away, and one of the few things he left behind, is a coin collection that he'd been working on since he was a child. After mother passed away a few months ago, the collection was passed down to us children. As trustee of the estate, I've taken responsibility to learn it's value so we can decide what to do with it. In the few "what's it worth" postings I've seen, I get the hint that I need to post pics :) so I'll work on getting some shot. But just to give you a brief summary, here's a partial list of what's in the collection: [LIST] [*]Complete set of Franklin Halves [*]Mostly complete set of Morgan and Peace (is that right?) Dollars [*]Annual proof sets from about 1968 or so up through early 90's [*]Several dollar bills ($2 and $5 with RED seals??) such as silver certificates and such [*]A few coins that I believe to be error coins? And a dollar bill that's missing some printing [*]Several other proof sets, some are commemorative, etc. [/LIST] There's a bit more, but I think those are most of the highlights. I'll start taking pics ASAP, and will be posting them to a private family blog at some point, so my siblings can learn what I'm learning too... But I'd be really interested in getting some feedback from folks here too. So my question is this... should I post everything I want to discuss to this same thread to keep everything in one place, or should I open different threads in the different subtopics? I've been on forums that have different preferences, how do you all like things around here? I can't wait to get acquainted with you guys, talk to you soon!! Farns[/QUOTE]
