<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lem23, post: 2368826, member: 77676&quot;]I&#039;m new today, so hello to everyone! I apologise in advance if this is of no interest to anyone but I thought it might keep my sane throughout the process, and that I might pick up some tips or advice if I&#039;m going about things the wrong way so please jump in if you so wish.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sorting a &#039;lunchbox&#039; coin collection which I suspect could be 400+ coins. I am an absolute beginner with no experience and have just decided to crack the box open today and give it a go. It looks to me like a travel collection, I don&#039;t expect to find anything of value &amp; they haven&#039;t been looked after, however I&#039;m interested to look through &amp; catalogue what there is or the box will sit there forever and I&#039;ll wonder whats in it!</p><p><br /></p><p>My approach so far...</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Sort into colours: gold/brass, silver &amp; bronze</p><p>2) Arrange into size then into duplicates/singles</p><p>3) Research coins using Numista &amp; Coin Quest websites and do a good google for any that I get lost on</p><p>4) Ask on forum as a last resort - I don&#039;t want to bug everyone!</p><p>5) Catalogue everything on Excel by recording currency, denomination, quantity and any notes of interest</p><p><br /></p><p>Are you all very experienced or is anyone tackling a similar task? How did you approach it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading this far <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
