<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4974169, member: 92655"]I know a little something about coins. But I don’t know a ding-dang thing about technology. I am trying to enlarge some of those photos on my phone at home and making myself absolutely nuts..... Quick assessment..... Gold is gold. Unless there are rare dates and mints, gold will pretty much be a stable number. Yes, you have the $7400.00 offer on that gold page alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a fan of seated coins. Look at your Liberty Seated Dollar. From what I can glean with my pitiful tech skills, that is a mint state coin. Easily a $2000.00 plus coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most people do not fill a Dansco 7070 with rare date coins. But being the kind of collector your grandad was, he may very well have some rare dates in there. I simply cannot tell. That seated dollar is just an example of the quality your grandad was shooting for in his coin collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now here’s the deal. I know you aren’t a collector. Understand that these days when big ticket coins come to market, the real numismatists will expect them to be certified and graded. You will not achieve your best value unless you go through that process. And it will require an up front investment from you. Figure roughly fifty bucks a coin.

Honor him by taking your time with this.... Better yet, keep some of his fine collection set aside for your families next generation maybe. Anyone on this site would be in heaven holding what you own.</p><p><br /></p><p>One final thought. If you have a Facebook account, do not post about this among your Facebook friends.
