Any of y'all know anything about old coins?
Was given Grandpa's small coin purse when he passed away as a young boy.Have sporadically added to it through the years.Just a real small collection.Do have a 1857 Flying Eagle in poor shape but does mean quite a bit since it was Grandpa's..........Used to know a serious collector at work----Serious enough to invest his retirement in coins...???...Always wondered how wise that was....There are reference books for values...
Had a collector go thru my dad's coins he had quite a few. The very old and solid silver I kept but the majority of them like he had a lot of 50 cent pieces were worth 50 cents. He did tell me all the 1940 nickels were in demand.
A flying Eagle penny, never see one before, that ones definitely a keeper. A very nice way to remember your grandpa.Quote:

Just an idea. I looked up Kansas City Coin Shop and found 14 if you are not able to find someone to help you.
What did you find? : ))))
Don't know much about coins. But my grandma left me some, one in particular is a 1878 dollar, just like to hold it in my hand and wonder what it has seen. Attachment 271231
