My father passed away a few years ago and I've finally started going through all of his nick-nacks. One of the things he always did was look through his change and if anything stood out to him he'd put it on one of his study's book shelves. After half a century of coins he amassed quite a quantity.

Some things I can easily identify as interesting but of little to no value (above the coin's stated value); like the Susan B Anthony dollars, Kennedy half-dollars, and the "Drummer Boy" quarters.

But other things I'm having trouble with; silver quarters, a steel penny(?), a copper dime(?), a bunch of silver dollars (ranging from the 1880's to the early 1900's), a cookie tin full of silver dimes, and a few other oddities.

What I'd like to do is have them looked at and give me an estimate of their value. If they're really not worth much then they'll go back on the shelf, but if they have some real value ($25+) then I'd like to have them graded and maybe framed for display. (Unless there's something in there worth a million bucks... LOL)

Is there a place in Baton Rouge to have this done? Or maybe even New Orleans? If the coins are worth enough then I don't mind paying the fees to have them officially graded, but I don't want to pay the grading fee if that fee is going to be more than the coin value.

Coin & Treasure in Lafayette could do this for you and may even travel to you.

Southern Coin and Precious Metal, Zenith St in Metairie. Generally speaking, none of the stuff you have is gonna be worth grading....dad would have taken special care of coins worth that much, and if they're rattling around in a shoebox, it's probably a given that they're not hugely valuable. Silver dimes, circulated, are worth their silver value....so if you have thousands, it can be good money. SPCM helped me to liquidate a huge inherited collection of mostly modest valued coins, and their staff was uniformly pleasant and polite, plus gave fair value. And they hauled 10k silver quarters out of my car, which is good customer service, LOL.
