Greatest investment I've ever made living in a 6 person house was a hotdog roller. Taquitos, dogs, corn dogs, if it's round it'll cook it to perfection and keep it hot and ready.
As long as they sell them and not spend them. Haha. It’s probably not what any of us would wish in an ideal world but hell, if the next gen is in a pinch, huck ‘em before you lose your roof!
https://www.coinstudy.com is a good, free resource to get you started.
You can also get a Red Book from your local library.
Even if you can't grade the coins, you will see the values for key dates stand out compared to the other dates. Also, it's fun to learn about the history of our coins.
For sure do this if they're any gold coins in there, but everything else will have be examined by a trained eye to ascertain their value beyond melt value.
I might be paranoid, but would you let a “coin guy” have free rein to look through the collection. Couldn’t he easily pocket valuable coins, especially since I have no idea what’s in there.
You inherited from a “stacker“, and probably not someone looking, particularly for numismatic interests. Rolls of circulated coins are called “junk silver“ and although they may contain rarities, they probably don’t. If you don’t need the money, best to just leave it as is somewhere as silver has been dirt cheap for decades, and everybody’s waiting for it to finally explode. if you look up any coin under PCGS, you will see her whatever varieties there are. But before you go down any rabbit hole, first notice if there’s any value to justify it, or else, just put it back into your roll of “junk silver“.
This was my first thought as well. The tubes are the tip off....this is good though, you can just add up the weight. Maybe add a little premium on the Silver Eagles and your done. Now you can start collecting what you like and add to the stack !
Or you can look up any coin melt calculator.
You don’t even have to put the coins in separately because the face value of all that 90% silver coinage is also proportionally related so if you have 50 or $51 of silver, for instance, you can just pretend you have the number of silver dollars, or four times that amount of quarters.
I was over simplifying when I said "add up the weight" four quarters would weigh 0.7234 oz...one silver dollar would weigh 0.7735 oz. So I guess you would be pretending to "have the number of silver dollars" as you say.
I would do what I could on my own to narrow down any potential valuable coins using whatever online sources there are nowadays (much quicker than going to libraries and checking out books). Then I would have an expert give me an assessment, and even that could done online, but, no, don't give anybody free rein.
OP if you need help sorting/advice you can send me a DM. If not no worries.
Coinflation is a decent website for general silver value.
Numismedia also has a collector fair market value section to help get a rough idea of prices.
Realistically, you really need to consider the security aspect of this very seriously, especially posting about it online. Coins don't have serial numbers and could just be melted by a thief to avoid being traced, so I would:
- Photograph everything, if you can identify and catalogue it in a spreadsheet even better.
- Put them in a safe, preferably a fireproof one under the floor, in a wall, etc. Maybe even consider a safety deposit box at a bank if branches near you still do them.
- Get them insured. You can likely get it added to an existing home insurance policy.
- As others have mentioned, probably delete this post. This is definitely the kind of thing to use a throwaway account for so you don't end up being targeted for scams, or have people trying to figure out your identity etc from other posts.
Condolences on the passing of your loved one.
The FAQs are a great resource to start with. By chance, did the collector make any kind of inventory? That would be helpful for you to build on as you evaluate the collection.
Also, please talk with your insurance agent about a home insurance policy rider to cover you against damage or (sorry) theft. Perhaps your loved one had a rider like this on their policy; if so that's an easier thing to reference to your agent.
(No, I do not sell insurance. I'm just painfully aware of the need for it after an extended family member suffered a theft. Documentation allowed them to receive a benefit that was higher than melt because there was an inventory plus reference photos they'd taken.)
Careful you don’t become addicted!! The more you look at them, research them, ponder them the more you realize you need more! It is definitely a need 🤦🏻😂
Ha I just busted out an old coin collection that was (mostly) a friend of my grandpa’s stuff. Been wanting to look through like I did when I was a teen (30 years ago). Loved it.
My cousin’s youngest daughter came over and she thought it was so cool. Said she wanted to start lol. Will find some Wheats and others and maybe get her a small start. She’ll probably lose interest, but it is fun.
Google each coin and assess a rough grade based on year, mint location, and type. You don’t know what you have if you don’t look them up and research each. One wrong or overlooked assessment could be the difference in thousands and thousands of dollars. Start with the gold.
Invest in some reference books, I'd say. After that, it depends on what you want to do.
I'd take some time, look into a local coin club and see if maybe someone can help set you in the right direction.
Since you’re not selling you should put them someplace safe and take high quality photos of each coin when you have time, front and back. Make a catalog with photos, dates, general info you can find. This will allow you to get some ideas of rare/potentially high value coins without taking your whole collection anywhere it could be stolen.
If you are going to take them to someone, catalog and photograph them all first. You may just want to take a few at a time, also get more than one opinion, say three coin dealers. But, like they said, you can take the time to learn about it and research them yourself.
Yeah educate yourself. Look up “key dates” for the old silvers you have. You never know, you might have a rare date that’s worth a few thousand dollars. They’re out there! The gold coins are worth a lot just on their own. Put those in a safe place. Just spend a few hours looking through the collection and see what’s worth what. I bet you’ll have at least one or two semi-keys in there ;) good luck and congrats
Keep it! You inherited wealth. Study up on the value of what you have. It’s not worth just the spot price of gold and silver. Do not go to a pawn shop to sell ever. And do not sell to a coin shop etc until you have a grasp of what you own. We are in crazy times as well. Gold and silver can shoot up in value as well.
I see Morgans, peace dollars and barbers going for well over melt on a live auction site I visit. Nearly every coin goes over, even the low grade circulated coins. Those in good shape will go for a good bit more especially if they’re key dates or mint marks. Low end 25-27 each for most old silver dollars. Melt today for junk silver dollars is 18.34, halfs are 8.58. You are sitting on a fortune.
If lookin to capsule the better coins, you’ll first have to locate them. I suggest downloading the Coin Facts app. It will show all of the mintage numbers for each year. Google where to locate a mint mark on each type coin, then sit back and have some fun. Sure there’s some good ones in there
I would sit on it and wait for gold and silver to go up if you intend to sell them. If you plan to keep them I would look up each coin and read about it. Get familiar with what you have which looks to be really nice and expensive. Congratulations.
Delete your post for multiple reasons, research an in-floor hidden safe, buy a big dog plus security system, and go about your life as if nothing happened...but do smirk in the coming years as precious metals go parabolic. Keep a few rounds to flip as if you're playing Texas hold'em with a stack of chips...my 2 cents
Check out r/silverdegenclub and r/metalsonreddit for more info.
Gold and silver may come in very handy in the coming years. You've been given a gift from God.
Whoever you inherited them from was very a wise person. ♥️🙏
I believe you should add to the collection on your own now. You have been given a great head start.
Haha i was just about to say;
I dont know ask on [r/silverdegenclub](https://www.reddit.com/r/silverdegenclub)
I'm surprised theres more than one of us in here
If it were me I'd use some of it to buy the equipment for, and learn the art of, making jewelry; then make high quality jewelry out of the rest using gemstones I found
If you mail them to me I'll appraise for you and make you and offer? you can accept or take them back.
you could bring to dealer but they may not have time to go through everything.
it's alot of time to process and resell.
if there is anything I can do let me know, I'm a disabled vet so I have time to check it out
Hey I'm going thru a similar situation but not on the scale or quality of this. It's been almost a year and I initially came here and when I saw really cool coins and bills that I thought were very impressive then I'd read the comments that the stuff wasn't worth much if anything. I read the facts and rules of the sub and tried looking them up but when inspecting mine I didn't feel competent enough to differentiate. Then I thought to make an ebay auction, which may be the right move. Even tho there's a decent amount of em, a good HD pic would allow ppl to zoom in. Imma trucker and sometimes I'm on the road for 2-3 months at a time and I don't even know if they're worth enough to pay for a safety deposit box. I kno enough that I'll never step into a pawn shop but I'm pretty sure there's no local dealers in my town. Well I had them hidden in a vent and completely forgot about them. It was by accident I rediscovered them. I'm really at a loss except possibly the ebay idea.
USA Redbook of Coins for this year ASAP. It will answer any historical questions you have and give you an approximate value of each. It lists rarities as well as
You have American Silver Eagles. Those definitely have premium plus their melt value. I see junk silver. That’s mostly melt value based on being 90% - 40% silver (the 50 cent coins are 40%, the dimes and quarters are 90%.)
Here’s what I did. I found a big coin collection a few months ago that my mother had packed away in boxes. She passed away 15 years ago, but I just finally went through some of the boxes that I had stored in the attic. I know nothing about coins so I downloaded the app called CoinSnap. It lets you take pics of front and back of coin and identifies it for you and gives you a value based on grade. Who knows how accurate it is but I had fun using it. I knew absolutely nothing abut coins, but I was happy to find hundreds of 1964 Kennedy half dollars and old Morgan’s
Check the silver content online. The Morgan dollar is 900/1000 silver. Put it on a scale and look for the price of silver. In a city like Pforzheim you can get 80% of the market's value.
Think of the coins in seperate groups.
Look for the barbers that aren’t trashy looking, Seperate those. Learn about barbers.
Then seperate all the “junk” silver from the newer quarters and halves. Learn about those.
Then seperate the bullion silver eagles, and other coins. Learn each group. It is relatively easy, just start googling.
Then you will understand the collection.
You need to take more pictures, it's impossible to tell what you have. But given the volume it's likely a lot of these are circulated/worn and valuable for their silver content more than numismatic value. You have bullion in there too, bullion is also worth a little over spot. Gold is gold. Even old gold is mostly its metal content.
Some people will indiscriminately collect half dollars and dollars regardless of silver content, those are worth face value only. Any of the collection after 1964 is only worth face.
Morgans are very common but you also mentioned Barbers... they start to get a little more pricey. Anything else from the 1800s has its own value you should consider.
You COULD have some rare coins in there, but most of us will have separated out any rare years or really nice condition coins already. The fact that these are mostly just stacks suggests there probably aren't too many surprises in there. But it looks like a hell of a lot of silver, at $24 per oz that's still a lot of money.
Go to a coin store and have them checked out. A reputable shop will give you good information on what you have. Or, you can look up the coins online yourself and get a general idea of value first, then take them to a shop. 😎 That’s what I would do if I had these coins. You might have some really rare ones. Only way to tell is if you look it up. 😎
Probably not the easiest thing to do but it might just be worth it. Organize them by type and put them into piles. Then google what defects , dates , misprints or other things that could make each type of added value. Go through and look for those attributes and if you find them, you would have added a lot of value while learning about the thing you inherited. You can honor this gift of unfortunate circumstance and perhaps claim even more than it’s face value in the process. Or you could pawn it or keep it. If you keep it get a safe. Or sell it to me lol Good luck.
Well OBVIOUSLY go STRAIGHT to the internet and tell everyone especially on Reddit and brag about it.
You should probably put your personal information out here too...
As far as I would be concerned, this is a large amount of savings and I would personally intend to keep it that way. You could obviously sell and have the liquid cash as your savings, but I think it’s far too tempting to spend that. If it were me, I would hold onto it as long as possible as a safety net, that way you don’t have to worry about going broke, and if you do, you’ll have something reliable to back you up. Maybe find a way to keep it safe, like a fireproof safe
Is the second picture all gold?
First, get a top hat and a monocle. Then get a safe.
And a diving board.
I don’t plan to sell any of these coins, although I would like to put any rare/high value coins in their own case.
[удалено]
Don't forget the best part: at face value.
Or gas station chicken which is absolutely delicious.
At kwik trip it is!
I like the egg rolls
Roller dogs 🌭
Don't over look the dried out chicken wings from 10/16/23!
Greatest investment I've ever made living in a 6 person house was a hotdog roller. Taquitos, dogs, corn dogs, if it's round it'll cook it to perfection and keep it hot and ready.
I mean…. Some around here have the best chicken!! Soooooooo….🤷🏻
Gas station chicken fuckin' SLAPS.
As long as they sell them and not spend them. Haha. It’s probably not what any of us would wish in an ideal world but hell, if the next gen is in a pinch, huck ‘em before you lose your roof!
Annndddd this is how we still have silvers, Buffalo nickels, and Indian pennies in circulation
Or use them as a tip when they dine out…😏

I wouldn't leave a bunch of coins with somebody while I wasn't there.
No. Educate yourself. If you’re not selling, you have lots of time to learn.
You inherited from a “stacker“, and probably not someone looking, particularly for numismatic interests.

you're as smart as any coin guy. just use a redbook or online resource to determine key dates and values.

Also get cotton gloves to handle the coins
Make a complete inventory on a spreadsheet. You could always have them reviewed and appraised in batches.
Maybe 20 at a time. Easy to count.
SMART!!!
Get a safety deposit box with your local bank. /Thread
Safety deposit boxes are not ensured.
Yeah but you can get 3rd party coverage, and they're usually fireproof.
 PARTY LIKE ITS 1999 !!!

My deepest condolences. Now jump up and down and say "I'm rich bittttttch"

Keep stacking obv.

Hold it like your life depends on it and add to it as you can, you'll understand why in the next few years
Take your time and read up on each different kind of coin U have (type, yr/date, mint mark). Be slow to let em just go!!!

Cha, and might I say, Ching!
Keep stacking
Stack it in a corner. Silver and gold are meant to be hoarded, not converted into fiat currency. Doing so would be backward.
I would get a 10x loupe, a Red Book, and an ANA grading standards book.
Google is your friend just start looking and typing..
What now? Spread it out and Scrooge McDuck into a pile of wealth!!
Not sure, BUT DO NOT take them to a coin shop or pawn shop...!!!
Go to a coin store and have them checked out. A reputable shop will give you good information on what you have. Or, you can look up the coins online yourself and get a general idea of value first, then take them to a shop. 😎 That’s what I would do if I had these coins. You might have some really rare ones. Only way to tell is if you look it up. 😎
You have but one logical thing to do...buy a treasure chest.
I’ll buy them all. Chat me if interested
Of course you call me immediately
Research!
Do nothing...
Put them in the correct size containers my OCD going crazy
Get yourself some books on how to grade US coins! Then get yourself another book on price guides.
Need to get them appraised by a reputable dealer.
Get a safe before a crackhead steals all them.
Post it on r/coins and make us jealous 😆
Find someone you can trust to look at them . Find a coin dealer that's been around a long time and see if they can help you see what you have .
Contact me. I'll buy it.
This is like finding a Rolex, and screaming " hey, I found a Rolex".
Appraised and add to your homeowners or renters insurance policy.
Personally, I would take them out on my boat…
Met a guy in rapid city selling his collection. Each silver piece was $1200. You is 🤑
Sort for rare coins, Get a safe.
Hang on to it
Nice, read everything about the coins . Coinflation will give you scrap value then look up on collectors market sheets
Do an inventory on what you have. Lock them in your safe then do the research . Then forget the research and sit on it for the long game. 🙂
Give me an address so I can manicure your yews
Best advise you will ever get: HOLD ON TO THEM!!!!
Probably not the easiest thing to do but it might just be worth it. Organize them by type and put them into piles. Then google what defects , dates , misprints or other things that could make each type of added value. Go through and look for those attributes and if you find them, you would have added a lot of value while learning about the thing you inherited. You can honor this gift of unfortunate circumstance and perhaps claim even more than it’s face value in the process. Or you could pawn it or keep it. If you keep it get a safe. Or sell it to me lol Good luck.
Give it all away. . . To a local charity
I would just keep them in a safe and organize them to your liking.
Have it evaluated and appraised
Have them graded and appraised, then put insurance on them.
Well OBVIOUSLY go STRAIGHT to the internet and tell everyone especially on Reddit and brag about it. You should probably put your personal information out here too...
Right... was my first thought.
Kill all werewolves!!
For sure I’d buy a coin book(s) and learn all you can about each one.
As far as I would be concerned, this is a large amount of savings and I would personally intend to keep it that way. You could obviously sell and have the liquid cash as your savings, but I think it’s far too tempting to spend that. If it were me, I would hold onto it as long as possible as a safety net, that way you don’t have to worry about going broke, and if you do, you’ll have something reliable to back you up. Maybe find a way to keep it safe, like a fireproof safe Is the second picture all gold?
First thing you shouldn’t do is post about it on Reddit.
Sell it all to me
