That bastard RC knows something.
I know where my semi valuable physical coins are. My mom started collecting silver coins as a young woman and my dad’s parents owned a pretty big grocery store. So she accumulated a lot! I have at least almost a gallon ziplock bag full of silver coins (dollars and 1⁄2 dollars on down). Some very old (definitely early 1900’s). But they were never kept in pristine condition(s) so I get the sense that their value is more the weight of silver than the coin(s) themselves.
I’ve also got a few Navajo rugs that are probably getting moth eaten in plastic in my garage. I got rough appraisals for them during COVID and one might be worth upwards of $5k (or was). The others were between $100-$1,000 or so. But…it nags me (the waste) but I don’t really want to deal with this stuff.
Also, we ended up with my cousin’s HUGE baseball card collection (and he kept them all in plastic/books). For a few days my husband googled some of the individual cards and some came up as worth $100 +/- and then he lost interest.
I need to find someone (or an entity) I can trust to sell off a bunch of crap on commission.
