Message:: [QUOTE="ldhair, post: 682356, member: 11540"]I get to help folks a few times a year with small collections and have a great time doing it. It's a great feeling to pull something really cool out of a group of common stuff. Once I was helping a friend with a Lincoln set in an old cardboard album. The 09S VDB and the 14D were missing. The 09S looked to be fine or better so I took it out of the hole to see the reverse. It was the VDB in the wrong hole. That's what I call fun. When I get to do these I'll have the owner help me sort and make a quick list with a fair idea of value. Anything really cool gets a holder if it's banging around loose. Some are really happy knowing a dime is worth about a buck and others thought it was worth a hundred. Most of the time I'll suggest to the owner to make a gift of it to a young family member. It's a nice way of saying the collection is of little value.[/QUOTE]
