[QUOTE="mschmid, post: 2658782, member: 85264"]FYI I've done a lot of research online (this forum has helped), bought the latest Red Book, and dug into ngc and pcgs websites. First and foremost, I need an inventory of everything I actually have. I've begun, but I'm starting with the easiest (everything that's slabbed and graded) and I'm only about 25% finished with my inventory list. I'm attaching a few photos of what I'm working on and a few examples of what I'm working with, but be aware I won't be ready for much advice until I actually know what all I have. I have not included photos of the coins that are not slabbed, as there are many of those as well (most of those are also $5, $3, and $2.50 pieces, as well as older 1800s eagles). This is my main purpose in attending the coin show: to educate myself. I figure in person knowledge is more helpful sometimes than simply researching online. I do plan on eventually liquidating much of the collection, but not doing it without the confidence behind being somewhate aware of the industry and the coins I have. I have left my job to work on my father's estate (he was a farmer as well) and I want to make sure I handle this properly and I thank everyone for their advice.[/QUOTE]
