While your generosity is legendary, I would not dream of imposing this type of burden on you or any other distinguishing members of this illustrious group

I was thinking…what a baller move to have a 1 oz gold coin as a ball marker. That’s the kind of thing that Phil would do.

my dad had an 1899 Morgan dollar, he liked it because it was over 100 years old. i snagged it, and it's in my pocket. cool piece.

if you want ease of disposal (assuming you don't just pack them up and send them to me), try a local coin shop. you won't get retail prices for them, but they will be gone.

check ebay for some price comparisons.

Don’t sell to those “buy gold” stores.

Silver and gold is selling for way over spot right now.

Heck, SAE’s are selling for $10 over spot.

Take the time to see if any have extra value over precious metal content.

As stated earlier, check ebay for items that sold.

Maybe but current ones don't like silver coins which are lighter than what we mint at present. I recently traded 4 silver quarters from a fellow employee because the Coke machine at work spit them out repeatedly. When I asked if he had any more from the same batch he asked why... he had no idea what they were made of.
