My grandmother recently passed away. She left me behind a box in her will. I didn't open it until just yesterday. In it was a coin..I thought "ill keep it. Keepsake" I didn't know what it was...at all. So I decided to see if I could look it up. I found it on the internet. http://www.coinsite.com/coinsite-pf/pparticles/$1busthe.asp if you were wondering what it is, its a 1798-1804 silver dollar draped bust heraldic eagle. Apparently, its worth a lot of money. Not talking like 50 grand. 300 grand and higher. I don't know whether to keep it, or sell it. I could pay for my colllege and get a house and stuff. IIN to feel undecisive, sad, excited, and confused at the same time!?
Are You Normal?
Ask your question today!
This is a BS story!
Sorry to hear about your grandmother but she wanted you to benefit from that coin. If you feel sentimental about it, then take a photograph and have it framed. I am serious, she did not leave it for you to leave in a box under the bed and the more people that you tell, the more likely you are to be burgled. Cash it in while you can, and put the money to good use!
The very best of luck. She must've loved you very very much :o)
I'm sure she would've wanted you to do what makes YOU happy.
Keeping this coin was obviously something that made her happy, but now that you're the owner you should use it to further yourself, but ONLY if it's something that doesn't carry significant sentimental value to you or your other family members.
If you won't sell it you will forget about it and........
Good Luck!
