<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GrampsGirl, post: 948358, member: 23465&quot;]Hi Guys,</p><p>I haven&#039;t posted for a while. I asked some questions a few months ago and got some wonderful responses. CoinTalk people must be the friendliest on the planet. Anyway, in those earlier posts, I talked about some coins my grandfather left me. I loved him very much, but I&#039;m not the coin aficionado he was. They simply sit in a box in my closet. As he was an antique dealer by trade, I have quite a few other things to remember him by and, frankly, I need the money (sorry to say, but true... anyone who has been a victim of this economy can relate). Anyway, I thought about selling them myself, one by one, but with two small kids, that&#039;s unrealistic. So, I visited a local coin dealer. He offered me $980 for the lot and I want to be sure that&#039;s fair (trust me, I don&#039;t begrudge the man a profit, but if it&#039;s a 500% profit that would upset me, if you know what I mean). The man seemed quite nice and says he does half a mil to a million a month in coins. He said he&#039;d probably have the whole lot out of his hands in a month for about $1,070. When I said that&#039;s not much of a profit, he said making 1% on a million dollar volume is fine for him.</p><p>I realize there are lots of different grades and things, so I&#039;m not asking for an in-depth analysis. But if there are any experts out there who could scan the list and give me a gut reaction... seems fair or run the other way... I would appreciate it. </p><p>Thanks all!&#039; (See list below.)</p><p>P.S.
