Thanks for the video, and sorry for your loss of your grandmother right before the holidays. Hope it works out, looks like you have some good coins in there, too bad there are a lot of cleaned ones. Most dealers would make a scathing assessment of the group that they were "all cleaned" just because most of them are impaired. He was probably fortunate to have a sharp buyer such as yourself.
Very nice video, and glad you didn't end up will a lot of AliExpress fakes.
Good luck on your future submissions, maybe a little toothpaste and vinegar will take care of those with environmental issues

I never buy anything without either seeing it myself or having someone I trust, who knows more than I do, look at it in hand. Also, it's much easier to buy a coin than to sell it.
Not much of a gambler huh. Risk is fun
No, it is far too easy to lose quite a bit of money in numismatics by making one bad decision.

As previously stated, I, too, am sorry for your loss. What a great Christmas present you have given yourself and such a pleasure to get to search through these beautiful coins for varieties and quality specimens. Congrats.

Oh man. Was all excited for you, 'cause as @wooglout said [based on the earlier fotos] it was either going to be a slam dunk or a [big disappointment]. So congrats and all for that. But to have your grandmother pass tonight, well, please accept my condolences, too.
Unfortunately with cleaned and over-dipped coins the luster and originally are gone, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. Self-conservation is a good option and I hope you are able to do it effectively. All the fluid products have their place, acetone, EZest, MS70, "Conserv"/BU Plus, boiling water. I just wish I knew the methods that the top two use.
Oh man. I am so sorry to hear that FtB. I hope your family finds peace and solace in the fact that your grandma had a long, full life or at least the opportunity for one. That's all we can really ask and hope for in life.
It's not even that important with such terrible news, but I hope you do well with your new acquisition. I love that 1802 and 1840.
I would have to examine, list, grade, and value each coin using blue book or CDN. Problem, cull coins reflected at zero. Unc raw coins valued at MS60.
The offer would be a percentage of the bottom line allowing for risk, grading fees, and profit.
Partners would be called in if necessary who then would make an offer on their piece of the pie and a joint lump sum offer to complete the deal, take possession, and then divide up the material.
I have been in on these deals before, not for novices. Lots of risk in buying raw coins. GC offers a raw coin grading / auction submission deal which can be ideal in flipping. Making a good estimate on what the deal can be flipped for is critical. Knowing how to grade is key.

Thanks for posting the video.
Was fun to watch the unpacking.
Looking forward to the next step for you, when you get the time.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
very nice - on your commentary I was not sure if you were saying clean or cleaned a few times
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. Normally it's the time of year when grandmas are so awesome.
I'll watch the video later this morning.
Sorry for your loss.
Very sorry to hear sir.

Congrats on some nice coins though.
Truly sorry about your Grandmother.
That is the same date mine passed away, 1980.
