If someone offered you pre-1934 US numismatic coins in payment for a debt...

...would you accept them? (Assume the coins are not low-end junk.)

How would you value them?

    I can say I have taken Series 1934 banknotes from the bank, recently several $50's and a $100. Better to have cash than money in the bank these days.

    Of course I would accept them. I am a coin geek.
    I would value them (isn't that enough ? image ) , they are not low end junk.

    I guess that means they can't offer you those rolls of shiny dollars from San Fransisco!

    I would not accept them except at a very steep discount from gray sheet. I would have to believe the coins had very high liquidity.

    Only at low wholesale prices since I would have to sell them to a dealer and I want some profit for my troubles.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
