<p>[QUOTE="thomas mozzillo, post: 7518293, member: 75914"][USER=101593]@Southpawdon[/USER]. Unless you check every coin, you have no reason to be disappointed in the condition of the coins. Just because the coin company cleaned or whizzed coins to put in those display cases, it doesn't mean every coin they sold was cleaned. Some of what your father bought may be very high grade examples. Learn what you can about grading and try and grade them yourself. a good site to show the grades is: <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/photograde" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/photograde" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/photograde</a></p><p>Edit. If your father bought them a while ago he may have possibly got some good bargains. For example, I have a 1968 Blue Book showing that dealers paid less than $5.00 for Bust Half Dollars dated 1807-34.(Graded Good). Even if they sold them for twice that amount, what would you pay today?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
