<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 182870, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>yeppers, make a trip to your local book store and buy the Yeoman Guidebook (the Red book).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>while there you might also see if they have a guide to grading US coins.&nbsp; it&#039;d help on all of this (or leaf thru the coin magazines to see if one has a feature on grading mercury dimes).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>you still need to head for a good dealer, but you really need to be an informed consumer (i.e. know basically what you have before you leave the house).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>from what you described, there is probably not another &#039;1916-d&#039; lurking, but you&#039;ve got some very nice coins and a ton of history.&nbsp; this is the sort of thing that gets people hooked on the hobby and something that can really drive a youngster nuts - if they have the &#039;collector gene&#039; (think of your kids and grandkids). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>the liberty walking halves are generally considered to be one of the most beautiful coins ever minted in the US.&nbsp; this is why the design was reused for the new silver american eagle dollars (since 1986).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and I&#039;d still plan on getting the 4 key mercury dimes certified.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>and it&#039;s STILL a great new year for you and hopefully for everyone,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>peace,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
