<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 935438, member: 4552&quot;]WELCOME TO THE FORUMMMMMMMMMMMM</p><p>As to a start with that mess, here is some of my suggestions:</p><p>1. Purchase the Red Book by Whitman Publishing for general information</p><p>2. DO NOT take any of what you think is just normal everyday coins to a bank just yet. First know what they are. Again, there are many coins people think are nothing and actually are.</p><p>3. Place all the Proof and Uncirculated sets in a separate pile for later investigations.</p><p>4. Place all coins in separate areas based on denominations. Pennies in one area, Nickels in another, etc.</p><p>5. Place all bullion or bars in another area for later also. </p><p>6. Be carefull handling any of the coins since you do not really know which is what just yet. If necessary, use cotton gloves. One lousy finger print on a valuable coin could well ruin it.</p><p>7. Although not in a hurry, let the Pennies go for later since there appears to be a real, real lot of them. There are so many of them that may well take your time looking at both the obverse and reverse. When you do get to those I suggest you look into purchasing a book called &quot;Looking Through Lincoln Cents&quot; by Chuck Daughtrey. You could look it up on the web site <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.coppercoins.com</a> </p><p>8. Get to know what you have as much as possible before making any decisions on keeping or selling anything. </p><p>9. Attempt to look up coin shows in your area. If there are any, go to some and spend some time talking to the dealers. Get to know them and eventually you may want to ask if they are interested in purchasing anything from you. Faster way to get rid of coins and no hassel like on ebay. </p><p>10. If you do make it to a coin show or two, do not plurt out about the coins until you really get to know who is who. </p><p><br /></p><p>OR just put the entire mess in a large box, ship to me and your problems are done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
