Another situation. I started collecting coins over 65 years ago. BTW, I’m now 80. I’ve never bought a coin. But, when the government decided to quit making pure silver dimes, quarters, halves and dollars in 1964, I started saving them. I actually started going to the bank and buying rolls of those coins; mostly dimes and quarters. After awhile, it didn’t make much sense to search or even look at my change. Almost no silver in circulation. At this time silver coins are worth about 16.5 to 17 times face value for the silver content alone.
I have Whitman coin folders about 10 inches tall and a heckuva lot of rolls of silver dimes and quarters. Also some relatively rare coins. Those rolls could, and probably do, have scarce or rare coins that are worth more than silver value.
What to do. Sell them? How do you put a price on them without exhaustive research that I’m not inclined to do?
BTW, We are debt free and all of our day to day needs are met by Social Security.
