<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Grantshire, post: 557355, member: 17152&quot;]First, thanks for the welcome.&nbsp; Forums are interesting places, full of information and there are always very knowledgeable people on them.&nbsp; I have belonged to several for years (related to my other hobbies) and most of them are quite friendly, that is why I went looking for this sight when my &quot;penny project&quot; popped up.&nbsp; And, FYI to all, I have also joined a couple of firearm, and Lionel train forums recently, searching for the best outlet for items appropriate to those forums.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In helping my friend with this estate I have been designated lead on the pennies, stamps, firearms, trains, and other coins (silver &amp; gold).&nbsp; My wife is assisting with the china, silver, and other collectibles.&nbsp; I have a full time job, family and other obligations so I cannot pursue all of these at the same time (and I am not taking any compensation for any of this).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am an amateur coin collector and I admit it.&nbsp; While I have a fair amount of money invested in the coins I have most real collectors would turn their nose up at most of what I have.&nbsp; My friend knows nothing about coins (or the other areas I mentioned) so he asked me for help.&nbsp; The Memorials are just the beginning of the coins and probably represent the lowest collective value.&nbsp; For now, we have set aside the silver and gold coins (please don&#039;t ask about them) and plan to catalog them this coming winter once we are out from under more pressing matters.&nbsp; The same goes for the stamps.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Several of you have sent me PM&#039;s and I have given one of you first shot at the pennies/cents/Memorials or whatever you consider the correct name for these small copper coins with Lincoln on them.&nbsp; And , yes, there are wheats, Indian Head and other cents in other bags that will be posted up later.&nbsp; For now, I am just trying to move the 350-500 pounds of Memorial pennies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks again for the welcome, advise and running commentary.&nbsp; If I didn&#039;t know better I would swear some of you guys are on the other boards I belong to.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
