dont know if your interested in foreign but I have a bunch of coins from the 50s-1970 from numerous countries, they were obtained on a huge sight seeing tour of Europe by a family member in 1970 and have sat in a jar ever since so alot of them are in very nice shape

I think it was graded ms-67 or something like that. Next time I am home I will look…

While we are on the subject, I have some other REAL bizzare coins I would like appraised

I also have a shit ton of stamps, in sheets, with the thing on the side that the post office was supposed to remove (no clue what I am talking about)

Where can I take these?

You’re talking about plate blocks.While I have some, I also have no clue what they are worth.I collected stamps for about 6 mos back when I was about 10-12 and thought"boy,this is boring"  
I’m sure most ppl feel the same way about coins tho

I have no interest whatsoever in stamps. They, to me, are the definition of lame. But my grandfather worked at the post office, and collected them. I have fucking boxes upon boxes of the dumb things…

Before my grandfather died, he gave me an old (1995 or so) “coin book” that apparently helps you identify certain coins and get an idea of what they may be worth…but but book is nearly 15 years old now.

He also with that gave me a fanny-pack type bag full of coins in no particular order…that he had put away since he was a kid, some of which he got from his parents, dating back to the late 1800’s.

He gave this to me maybe 6 years ago, and died 3 years ago. I haven’t once looked at any of them…but now i’m curious to see if he had anything cool. He was pretty serious about them, and kept them locked up, and told me he wanted me to lock them up too, and did so before even writing up his will because he didn’t want it to end up split up or sold after he died.

maybe i’m rich? we’ll see when i get home and dig it all up…
