Went to the bank with Lee yesterday.....

We got a couple of submissions ready to go to PCGS.
#1-- 5(five) 1893-s S$1, 5(five) 1889-cc S$1, 2(two) 1890-cc.
#2-- 11(eleven) 1894-p.
She had a really nice 1894 that someone had severely scratched the face. Made me sick.
I've only got to look at 2% of her coins so far and I'm floored by what I'm seeing. Can't hardly wait for my VAM book to get here.
THIS IS FUN!!!!!!!
Sorry toning guys, I didn't photograph any of the toners she has because of the lighting in the bank vault.

    That would be just about the most fun you could have! What condition are the ones you are submitting? Uncs? Circ?

    Are you getting the Top 100 VAM book, or the full version? You'd be spending a whole lot of time attributing every VAM with no benefit, and it's probably only worth the time to identify the ones in the Top 100.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  • Top 100 book, not going to make a career out of this, she has at least a thousand silver dollars.
    The 93-s's are IMHO 1-F, 3-VF, 1-XF.
    The 89-cc's are from F-VF.
    The 90-CC's are MS63.
    The 94-P's range from VF-AU.(one possibly MS).
    This is REALLY fun!

    Sounds like you are in for a real fun time. Hopefully the owners of the coins will get a comfort level with you and like your help. When they do expect them to suddenly make every single coin available to you for review. Looking through everything would be a blast. Just getting to go through and inventory them would be rewarding. Helping the owners (only if they are appreciative of your efforts, time and expertise) would also be rewarding. Who knows, they might take such a liken for ya that they say to take your pick of 1, 5 or 10 coins from their holdings. Please post us with future updates.
