My Aunt gave me a HUGE coin collection, Mostly silver!!!!!

[Goes4ever]

Long story short........in 1999 my grandma(dads side) passed away, and my grandpa (dads side) has known my aunt (moms side)for yrs, well they started dating and got married in 2002, so now my aunt was my grandma....lol

anyhow that grandpa is the one who just passed away this week, and my aunt said she spoke to my grandpa before he died and they decided to give her whole coin collection to me. She told me a month ago she was giving it to me, and I have never saw it...EVER, I figured it was a small pile of coins, maybe 25-50 coins. BOY was I wrong. When she handed me two FULL bank bags, packed with coins I was floored...........
and before you asked, I went thru them and there was no key dates, but I am overjoyed and still treasure these!

In these bags was the following:

7 Morgan dollars
1 peace dollar
7 Ike dollars
8 Susan B Anthony Dollars
18 walking liberty halves
18 Franklin Halves
13 1964 Kennedy halves
26 40% Kennedy halves
6 Standing liberty quarters
307 Washington quarters ALL silver!!!
2 Canadian silver quarters
1 merc, 1 silver rosie
10 silver war nickels
7 V nickels
9 buffalo nickels
3 indian pennies
25 wheats
Box of foreign coins
22 one dollar silver certificates 1935-1953
3 $5 red notes
7 $2 bills
OVER 400 silver coins!!!!! My aunt/grandma is the best!

I have always heard the 90% Washingtons were the hardest to find circulating - I think it may be because of your grandma. 307 of those suckers? WOW!

Nice little lode of silver.
Sentimental value aside, you might want to consider what grandpa would've wanted to you do with them, given the current pricing levels of silver.
There are people who are always saying metals will go up... They say it when silvers doing down, they say it when silvers flat and they say it VERY LOUDLY when silver enjoys a big price spike. Don't listen to these people. They're called "perma-bulls", they exist in any investing niche and their position is based on things that have nothing to do with redible insight.

Here's where it's at now.

Usually, charts that look like that mean its wise to start scaling out and at least take a little off the table. Maybe don't sell completely out- who knows, maybe there's headroom- but I know if I had a pile of silver fall into my lap, I wouldn't stay fully invested in it.

I look at silver prices everyday, as I have a boatload of it in my safety deposit box from coin roll hunting, but I have absolutely no plans on selling any of this collection off, silver has never been worth nothing, so I plan on keeping it. If I ever get so poor I can't eat, I may change my mind. But like I said before I have a boatload of FOUND silver from CRHing, so I would sell that before I ever sold these coins!

Until recently resurrected, I hadn't seen this thread.

That many Washingtons will likely yield some rarities. Look for the doubled-die coins. A listing of those is mixed in at the PCGS.com website, which also has photos of the examples. Some of these are quite rare.

 

[treasurepirate1]

[Rasputin]

Wow--what a generous gift. There is no one to give me anything like that in my family as I'm my own grandpa!
