So, my wife and I have been given power of attorney, and will be the executor of the estate, for her aunt. Said relation is in the final stages of inoperable cancer, so we're handling her affairs in these final days.
She has a decent amount of liquid assets that we're going to be tasked with handling. Most are pretty straight forward though. One weird one, however, is $7,000 in silver certificates. I know these can no longer be redeemed for silver, but they are legal tender like any other dollar bill.
Question for those that might know: do these, generally, have numismatic value to the degree that it would be better selling them as such rather than a deposit for later dispersal to the heirs?
(The only rounds/bars I personally invest in is in investment grade gold and silver, so don't have any solid idea on the value of currency and coin from a collector's standpoint.)
