We ended up bringing them to 3 local dealers for appraisal, went with the best quote. Other than silver, basically all of the coins that were circulated went in a coin counter and we received face value.

He had a few chinese coins he picked up in the Navy, that I bought back from the dealer, and got a raft of sheet from my 2 sisters for that.

That sucks. I would have been very grumpy about that.
