[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2678107, member: 27832"]Welcome to CoinTalk. I'm sorry for the sad circumstances that brought you here, but glad you've found us. I'm glad you already know to avoid "Cash for Gold" and the like; those places have their uses, but this isn't one of them. I also hope you'll heed our advice not to try cleaning anything! There are plenty of great details flying around the thread already, but I'd like to ask a few more general questions: 1) How many coins are you talking about? Dozens, hundreds, thousands? There are different strategies that come into play depending on that answer. (For example, it's probably not worthwhile to start out by photographing and posting a hundred coins individually.) 2) Are the coins mostly in folders or individual holders, or are they in rolls and loose in bags? 3) Are most of the coins fairly recent (less than 50 years old), or are there many older ones? 4) Are they mostly US coins, or are there many foreign ones (assuming you're in the US)? There are plenty more questions, but the answers to these will help us figure out what to ask next.[/QUOTE]
