<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7669892, member: 100459"]My only thought, which others have recommended, is to take your time making a decision. Although you have gotten recommendations from several collectors on this site, you might want to check other sources of information. The bag may be worth a great deal of money, or it may just be worth face value of the coins. Once you've opened the bag, you've closed the door on the possible value of a sealed bag. Again, take your time. Also, put it away somewhere safe. You may have a visitor, friend, or relative come visit you and find out what you have. Don't tell any more than you have to. Temptation is great and everyone has their level of honesty. I remember a story about a man that had a collection of coins. One day, he had a friend over and he was so proud of his collection that he showed it to a friend. Two days later, his house was broken into while he was at work. When he came home, there was only one thing stolen... his coin collection. During WWII, there was a saying in the U.S. Navy, "Loose lips, sink ships!"</p><p>Best of luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
