<p>[QUOTE="Kasperscuriosities, post: 158107, member: 404"]Thanks so much everyone you got me pointed in the right direction. Looks like what I thought were coins are actually pewter commemorative medals and from what I can tell are basically worthless (Story of my life. LOL!) but it looks like some of these medals might have some decent value so I am going take the advice and lot them in groups. </p><p><br /></p><p>The boxes of pins are going take a while to get through. It seems most of them are reproduction medals or something. Maybe some motorcycle club stuff they are kind of all over the place in regards to themes so it's hard to determine their exact purpose. Some look Masonic, some American Legion, some of it is Biker type stuff. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not really sure about them but we will put them in grouped lots and hope for the best. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's funny we have done pretty well on coins. We had some coins last month that went way higher than I would have ever expected. They really weren't that special like wheat penny and buffalo nickle kind of stuff. This one lot was mainly pennies and it ended up going for over $100. My biz partner's dad was at that auction. Apparently, he deals in coins. He said he couldn't believe how well we did on those lots. He sent us a bunch of his coins to sell. LOL! </p><p><br /></p><p>So who know's maybe we will have the same kind of luck with these. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways thanks again!
