Should I ?

If he ever comes back looking for them, you stick to your guns that you threw them out with everything else, and you tell your mom the same thing.

Sell it all. If they were such broke ass people where did the coins come from?

He said they were given to him by an old neighbor friend

I change my vote to put them in a safety deposit box, and keep them until your kids go to college.

Then sell them to help pay for their education, what's left over save and leave to them when you die.

It's all about the childrens. And if at any point you feel selfless, use a portion to help your neice's education as well with the money, you never have to tell her how or where the money came from, but it would be nice if when she found herself in college Aunt Kim sent her a check every semester that said, "use this for books and tuition, just don't tell your parents".

I would LOVE to do that for Sarah. Hopefully some day I'll know where she is.

We can talk more this weekend, but I would personally sit on the coins, unless times are necessitating the sell.

Times are no tougher today than they were yesterday. I'm in NO hurry and I apologize in advance, but this thread will eventually go away as well.

Kim- You remember when Corey lived with us and how he just walked out with a back pack and trash bag. We either donated or tossed everything but a cookbook of his great-great grandmothers. You are not a storage and they obviously aren't that worried about them.... until they find out a value.

Does anyone know of any legal ramifications from selling? I only ask because they are the types to try and make waves so if they find out she sold them and profited... Also, while keeping them has benefits for value, the same problem is there. If they find out she has them in 5 years or so, I think she/he would try to cause drama in the family to get them back. MY suggestion is sell them but not tell anyone (Sorry Mom) how much because if word got back to your sister you got $5k on 'his' you know they would be back here to cause drama in a New York minute.

Sell them.

Good luck with whatever you do just know that you will NEVER hear the end of it once he finds out you sold those coins. Well if it was me I would just say fu@k him.

Kim, I would "lose" the silver with a trusted individual that would be willing to put it all in a very safe location for as long as you can allow it. I would also have the two of you sign an inventory sheet.

Silver is going stupid high right now, but old coins aren't being made anymore. Their value can only go up.

There's a precious metal/jeweler here that is sending out a very trusted friend of mine with wads of cash to hit up the garage sales for sterling silver. He is paying this person very well for their time.

We can talk more this weekend, but I would personally sit on the coins, unless times are necessitating the sell.

[MutherjuggZ]

There's a few half dollars from 1956-1969, a few bicentennial half dollars (1776-1976 obviously) and a few cupre nickel back half dollars from 1972.

There are 5 steel cents dated 1943

There are 2 shell case scents dated 1944

[MutherjuggZ]

Have you SEEN her strap-on?!?! You must want that coin baaaaaad.

It even has teeth on one end

[MutherjuggZ]

Ok he found some of the coins, but not all

Here's what he brought me.

A book of mercury dimes for the following years
(the missing ones are all at home so I'm only listing ones I'm physically looking at right now)
1917-D
1919
1924
1927
1934
1935
1935-S
1936
1937
1938
1938-S
1939, 1939D, 1939S
1940S
1941, 1941D, 1941S
1942, 1942D, 1942s
1943, 1943D
1944, 1944D, 1944S
1945, 1945D, 1945S

Based on the little bit of research I have done on these dimes.... There are two modern-day overdates - the 1942 & 1942D, 2 over 1 are very desireable to have. These overdates occurred when the coin blank was first struck with an outdated 1941 die. When the mistake was noticed, the coin was restruck with the correct 1942 date. The numeral 1 is noticeable beneath the 2.

Personally, I'd feel bad about selling them. Even with the things you have done for them. You did this out of kindness from the heart. Unless you told them to repay you, I'd leave it with you did your best to help. Its their coins.

IMO
