<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 452736, member: 15199&quot;]Farns, I would recommend that you obtain a copy of the Redbook ~&quot;Guidebook of United States Coins&quot; and look at the section on Morgan Dollars you mentioned as that most likely will have the most value. Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Public Library should have copies. Read about mintmarks ( the book will help), and see if you have some of the coins with higher value ( use maybe the EF column to compare).</p><p>If you do, then start with the photos of those. Since they are large coins, it will be easier to photograph them ( do both sides). Your camera seems sufficient as the photos of the cents were OK. You may find you need to use a software program to crop them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably someone has mentioned, do not clean the coins in any way until you get comments, not even wiping with a cloth. Pretend each is worth $$$$ and handle it accordingly. In reality, that is probably not the case, so bear in mind that most posted values ( especially in the redbook) are higher than the market price, but if you have to split the value as an executor, if you use the redbook you should be able to feel you were fair for all. I have been an executor, and when you have one value system, division goes a lot easier.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trying to clean can reduce value SIGNIFICANTLY. hey, Welcome to the Neighborhood ...Forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
