<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2422963, member: 1892&quot;]I&#039;m infamous for distaste of bumped threads, but &quot;inheritance&quot; threads are a type that age well and ought to be rediscussed regularly. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You can do a lot of the initial narrowing-down right here. Like the original poster, come up with a basic inventory - types, years - and create a thread of your own to start the conversation about your specific holdings. We can help to isolate the specific members of each issue group worthy of additional information - key dates, conditional rarities, dates known to have significant varieties, the like. For your part, you&#039;re going to have to come up with a basic grading sense, for now just enough to differentiate between obviously-worn and obviously Uncirculated; the ones which fall into the grey area in between are likely worth further attention if Uncirculated examples are worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, the results will be pretty generalized, and at some point the ability to create and post decent images of individual coins will become necessary. However, your first post - if enough information is there - will probably weed out at least two-thirds of the pile into the &quot;I should probably sell these in bulk&quot; types, or at least provide you enough information to do that on your own.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not until this process is well along will it even be <b>relevant</b> to start discussing how/where you might liquidate, if that&#039;s your intent. Moreover, if you end up having them appraised (knowing your general location will allow somebody in the know to recommend appropriate possibilities, and the best appraisal is one you pay for), it&#039;d be a lot easier on the appraiser if you only hand them fifty coins instead of a thousand. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
