<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Grantshire, post: 513298, member: 17152&quot;]Greetings to all from a new member. I have been an amateur coin collector for many years, nothing high end, but I do have a fair number of coins. I am helping a friend with the disposal of quite a few pennies collected by an elderly gentleman and no, they are not stolen, the gentleman is his 80&#039;s and has had to move into an assisted living facilities. My friend is not a coin collector and has already taken more than half of the pennies to the bank and turned them in for face value :crying:. After climbing his case about what they were really worth he has turned disposal of the remaining pennies over to me. That is why I joined the forum today; I need need to find an outlet for the coins (or they will end up at the bank again).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I know about these coins:</p><ul> <li>There are a lot of them! We are talking hundreds of rolls with a face value of $400-$600.</li> <li>All are Lincoln Memorial copper coins from 1960 to whenever they stopped making the penny out of copper.</li> <li>Coins are split between rolls and loose pennies in bank bags.</li> <li>A few of the rolls are uncirculated, same date and mint as they came to the bank (elderly gentleman was a bank VP).</li> <li>All are truly unsearched, divided strictly by the presence of the Lincoln Memorial.</li> </ul><p>Now that I shot my mouth off about not just turning them in, what the heck do I do with them?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Richard</p><p>Richmond, VA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
