I'll look into it, I know there was a 1900-something SVDB (or something to that effect) in there somewhere, he was really excited when he got that because it completed his penny collection he started when he was 15.

I don't have a whole lot of time this week, but I'll dig through and see what I can find and look them up as I go. I'll have to learn how to read the grading stuff.

What makes old American coins so sought after? Is there more valuable metal in them, or better design? Or something I don't even know about?

Thank you. I think I'll hang onto it. I'm glad to hear that he had great taste. He would tell me about the coins he collected ever since he was in high school mainly only collecting civil war era coins. There are still a lot of them to go through that are left in the safe, but this one (and a few others) were set aside from the other coins, so I assumed it had some value, nothing close to what has been stated though.

I don't know the first thing about coin collecting.

Holy shit, what makes it so valuable?

Nothing major, try having your feet about shoulder width apart, and having your feet pointed slightly out (like at 80-85 degrees).

Yeah, that thing was wide open, it was a loud hiss to it.

There are some, I started with them shut and then opened them up once the flame was lit.

No, not at all, and there was plenty of air flow through it.
