[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1185057, member: 30400"]Time out. Let's go slow and not get too excited. (There's no 1922 no-D in that album, e.g.) The smartest thing you can do is take the albums to a local dealer and get some advice. You likely have some nice circulated coins and some, if they're genuine, can be reasonably valuable. Before you go pulling coins and sticking them in random flips get some advice and consider your plan. They're not going to spoil in the Whitman albums and won't get damaged if you're reasonably careful. First, are these yours to do with as you please? No family members involved? Don't assume anything. Second, are you going to keep the sets or sell them? Keep just the keys or sell some of the keys? Sell duplicates or just the cheap, later Lincolns? Depending on your entitlement, the condition of the coins and your intent you might want some slabbed. 1877 Indian Heads, 1909-S VDB's, 1914-D's, and others are often counterfeit so they really should be authenticated and slabbed for maximum value. But talk to an expert in person. Don't sell anyone anything right away. Just listen and learn. The right approach will become clear in time. Enjoy! Lance.[/QUOTE]
