<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 232279, member: 3813&quot;]The only thing I&#039;d say is not to assume value.&nbsp; For example, I have plenty of old coppers (cents) and Morgans, mostly pre-1900&#039;s and they are worth $50-$30 or less.&nbsp; I bought a couple Silver sets last year fomr the mint and both of them are worth ~$1,000.</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s more confusing, is that some items are more rare and often more valuable, but sometimes this isn&#039;t the case (everything rare isn&#039;t always very valuable). I guess one could say there&#039;s shades of rare (as it has more to do with demand than anything else). Condition often plays a huge role in value, but I think far too often people misjudge the condition of coins they get, and don&#039;t fully understand that something might look great, shiny even, but not be in the type of condition that&#039;s worth large sums of money.&nbsp; You&#039;d be surprised at how low &quot;perfect, mint condition&quot; looking coins will actually grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without knowing what you have, and seeing it (or high quality scans online) it&#039;s nearly impossible to tell grades and value.&nbsp; If the comins are graded, then by whom, and the grades would get you a ballpark.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
