My Dad recently passed away. He has been a coin collector/accumulator for about 50 years. Got me interested and also have been collecting accumulating sine about age 10. I had to drop off the face of the earth about a year ago due to several life changes, job, divorce, etc. I hope to really get back to my Kennedys shortly. I have just came back home after sorting thru some of his things. I have a few questions to start. I don't know if anyone can let me know where to go with some of these coins:
1. There's a Feuctwangers composition token with a plugged hole. Do these often have holes? Any value in XF?
2. There's a Mexican 1821 8 reales Zacatecas mint pilar dollar in XF, any collectors for Mexican?
3. There's a Mexican 1793 Peru(?) 8 reales pilar dollar in XF/AU, any collectors here, or is it also a Mexican issue?
3. There'a a 1796 Mexican 2 reales silver coin with an o/m (mint) in VF.
4. There's a 1913 Indian $10 coin in MS 64(? I'm NOT a gold grader) very nice coin.
5. There's an 1882 liberty $5 gold coin in XF(?), but, it appears to be in the original box. Did they come in single velvet boxes?
6. Ther's a 1908 indian in MS 64(?), pretty coin.
7. There's an 1861 Indian cent in AU, BUT, on the reverse, it doesn't have the words: ONE CENT. It is complety flat with NO signs of alteration. Possible filled die, or, might tis be a pattern?
8. How about a 1961 silver restrike of the Dickeson's Continential dollar in Unc. Also a restrike of an 1862 confederate silver half dollar.
This barely starts the accumulation. He has nearly complete sets of Canadian coins, including, half cents, large cents, half dimes, dimes, half dollars and silver dollars staring in around 1858, all in mostly circulated condition. Any contacts/ I am now starting the inventory and will post it as times goes on. Thanks in advance! Ray

As to his coins, if you could post pictures, that would help immensely. Someone can give you book values, but you'll need to be sure the grading is correct. In fact, if you don't have a redbook, I'd pick one up.
Oh, and post the reales and world coins on the world/ancient coin forum and those guys will give you all the help you need.
Edited to add: If you're uncomfortable assessing values yourself, you could always get an appraisal on them.
Post pics on the board here and you'll get honest replys to any questions that you have.
If you are not into the Ebay venue remember that this board has a Buy/Sell/Trade forum too. (BST for short).
Now post some pics!!!!
