<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7913034, member: 100459"]I have quite a few coins that my father collected. Since he really never told me or my brother anything about his collection, we had never collected coins until we got his. Actually, my brother hasn't even opened the box he got his half of the coins. However, I did, and it took me down an ever-ending road of coin collection. I have put all of mine in 2x2s, but until I learn more about coins, I won't be able to decide to slab them, if any. I think coin collecting should be taken in baby steps until you really know what you have and/or getting. My first step would be to learn about the 185X Flying Eagles. I got 3 1857 and 2 1868 FEs. They are nice, but I wouldn't send them in to be graded and most of my father's coins are like that. I don't send in my Mint coins to be graded because as long as I like what I get, they don't need to be graded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
