<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MargaretA, post: 1470263, member: 38733&quot;]OK, here are a couple of answers -</p><p><br /></p><p>- I was mistaken about the 1928 Peace dollar; it&#039;s actually a 1923. So, I have two 1923s and no 1928s. [sigh]</p><p><br /></p><p>- The 1938 Walking Liberty does not have a mint mark, so that means it&#039;s from Philadelphia, yes?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&nbsp; think I&#039;m getting overwhelmed so I guess I need to set some priorities.&nbsp; I think the biggest one is finding out what some of these coins are&nbsp; worth so I can decide whether it&#039;s worth the extra trouble to me to try&nbsp; to sell them to a collector rather than just for melt. I agree, I don&#039;t think I need to buy a price guide since I&#039;m not planning on collecting; as fascinating as the history is, collecting doesn&#039;t work with my movable lifestyle. But finding a guide I can just look at may not be easy; I can&#039;t get to any of the area libraries without a car and when I do a search online all I find are melt values. Does anyone know of any online price guides that are at least reasonably trustworthy? Also,&nbsp; while I wish I could wait until August for the show, I can&#039;t afford to -&nbsp; literally. I don&#039;t think I need to sell everything right now, but I do&nbsp; need to sell some, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I tried getting some pictures but I can&#039;t get&nbsp; the light right so I will try again tomorrow. I just have one other&nbsp; thing I&#039;d like to ask about, and it&#039;s in this quote:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>How do I determine the condition, or does the prospective buyer do that? And what do the numbers after the condition, ie &quot;20/70,&quot; mean? Is there some kind of point system being used?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for all your help, everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meg</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Just one more thing - I haven&#039;t cleaned the coins, they are just the way they were when I found them. I did sort and check them for dates so I could do the inventory but I think I did read somewhere that it wasn&#039;t a good idea to clean them, so I haven&#039;t. (I do wish I had some &quot;toned&quot; ones, those look really cool.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
