<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JWM1969, post: 2954839, member: 92204&quot;]My dad passed in October of 2016 and i retrieved a few thing from his house and kept them in my closet, in his old brief case that I found in his storage shed from his days of working for NASA(35 yrs), I finally got myself to start sorting through his things, I found that the case was water damaged and the papers inside were too. Its contained his military papers and his purple heart, patches from every shuttle that he worked on and an old sealed white envelope, In it were 4 tarnished Morgan silver dollars and several tarnished wheat pennies. I called my uncle to see if he knew anything about the coins and he said my dad had received them when my grandfather passed in 1984 at the same time my uncle had received a sterling pocket watch the my great grand father had gotten when he retired.</p><p>Any way I found info on the Morgans and gave my 2 sons each one.</p><p>I am far from a coin expert or never really had any interest in them. One of the wheat pennies appears to be a 1944 steel penny(yes ive read they are very very rare, no interest in ripping anyone off, but how do the grading companies work? Ive seen most charge a fee plus a 1% charge of coins value. My question is when do you have to pay the 1%? </p><p>I&#039;d like to have it graded and authenticated , but I&#039;m not rich and don&#039;t want to have money tied up if its not real. I want to auction it if real and make a donation in my Dad&#039;s name to the American heart association.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is magnetic and I&#039;ll post pictures shortly.</p><p>Please dont be rude, I am totally in the dark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
