<p>[QUOTE=&quot;themdg, post: 934765, member: 26114&quot;]Hi Everyone.&nbsp; This is my first post besides an intro post.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My rad Grandpa died last year, and Grandma is starting to clean up his office.&nbsp;&nbsp; She sent his coins home with me to sell for her (or buy from her), and it&#039;s a bit overwhelming.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be cataloging it (a spreadsheet), taking the face-value stuff to the coin counting machine at the bank etc, then doing some research on the rest, and either buying them for my collection, or selling them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a photo of the whole shebang (and a link to a larger version, if you want to look closer)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://themdg.org/pics/posts/2010-06-29-WSBCoins-1.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://themdg.org/pics/posts/2010-06-29-WSBCoinslarge.JPG" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://themdg.org/pics/posts/2010-06-29-WSBCoinslarge.JPG" rel="nofollow">http://themdg.org/pics/posts/2010-06-29-WSBCoinslarge.JPG</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Generally, the contents are:&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Circulated coins from the 60-90&#039;s.</li> <li>Tubes of coins &quot;graded&quot; by Grandpa as either &quot;BU&quot; or &quot;AU&quot;.&nbsp; Usually in a roll of the same year and mint mark.&nbsp; Dates range from the late 1930&#039;s to 2000&#039;s.</li> <li>Many proof sets (the black, green, purple, boxes around the back and side there), and Uncirculated sets (example:&nbsp; envelope with uncirc 1985 P and D coins sealed in plastic, along with some paperwork.)</li> <li>A few silver proof sets.</li> <li>Eisenhower dollar proofs</li> <li>A few silver ignots (that set of 6 at about 1-o-clock).</li> <li>2 add-a-coin banks (with no key, or course since they were Bank banks) full of coins.</li> <li>Misc silver coins.&nbsp; Dimes, quarters, halves, dollars.</li> <li>Several coin book sets including mostly-filled books.&nbsp; Many silver coins here.</li> <li>LOADS of wheat pennies and some Indian heads.</li> <li>etc. . .</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>I am finding many that fill spots in my books, which is nice. But I am not considering keeping more than 10% of this collection.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone offer any advise on where to start with something like this?&nbsp; I am in no rush for time and enjoy dealing with the coins, so no need to dump it all at once.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
