<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PlanoSteve, post: 3033534, member: 91609&quot;]First of all, welcome to CT...a premier coin information web site!&nbsp; Members may also suggest other sites (ie, Variety Vista, Conseca, etc.) but there are 2 things you absolutely <b><i><u>do not</u></i></b> ever want to bring up here:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; YouYube - any &quot;net&quot; valuable information you get from this will not outweigh the enormous amount of garbage the Tubers post (I am specifically referring to numismatics).</p><p>2.&nbsp; The book &quot;Strike It Rich With Pocket Change&quot; (unless you buy it for camping to use pages as fire starter, or as......)</p><p><br /></p><p>If you stay away from these &quot;references&quot; you will be OK!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Be careful getting coins graded (it would really help you to learn to grade for yourself) especially in your case since you state &quot;<b><i>I have a large container full of my dads coin collection he gave me. I would like <u>to sell</u> a lot</i></b>&quot;. You wouldn&#039;t want to spend $30 to slab a $2 coin which you can only sell for $2!</p><p><br /></p><p>You may buy slabbed coins if for example you were concerned about authenticity, but many collectors have a minimum threshold before they would consider having a coin slabbed (ie, $200.00).</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t hesitate to post a coin or question, especially if you haven&#039;t seen it in the archives.&nbsp; But don&#039;t have thin skin when you think you see a sarcastic or side track answer. (It&#039;s sometimes what we do, it&#039;s not personal!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun with your endeavor! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
