Message:: [QUOTE="Jim Leff, post: 4311303, member: 111786"]This one's legit, though. When I was nine, my Dad gave me a ton of miscellaneous wheat cents. He'd been dumping them into a jar in the 50s and early 60s, planning to go through them  as a rainy day project, but he never got to it. So he handed them off to me. By then, my coin interest had faded, so I procrastinated for nearly 50 years, and am ready to pass them on, as well. There are about 50 rolls. I opened three out of curiosity, and noticed a 1909 (not VDB), and plenty from the teens and twenties. A few 50s still have luster, and there were some 30s and 40s with partial luster (cool!). Condition seems to range from good to fine, if those rolls were representative (and I'm sure they were, considering the source). Like many of his generation, my dad was always on the lookout for wartime steelies, so I'm sure there are none of those. But aside from that culling, these aren’t crappy cast offs, they’re legit unsorted. So what's my move? I don't need top dollar, I just want to get these off my hands and won't insult my Dad's memory by dumping them back into circulation. Do I sell on eBay? Is there a coin club by/for inner city kids who'd be excited by this if I donated? I definitely don't want to hand them off to some sharpie who'd rifle through for 55 double dies and chuck the rest in a Coinstar machine![/QUOTE]
