<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Georgia Steffen, post: 3601, member: 615&quot;]My father has left me his hord of sorted and unsorted coins.&nbsp; He was the type that just collected to collect, no order at all.&nbsp; I have started an inventory by making a list with the help of excell - what a chore! I did start with the &quot;Book Sets&quot; (I believe there were 35, not all filled) the blue folder that the coins are pushed into, I purchased a Red Book and am doing a self grade system.&nbsp; With that completed I am turning my attention to Mint and Proof Sets.&nbsp; </p><p>At this time I am very confused about the difference.&nbsp; Adding to the confustion, there are many unopened boxes from the <u>U. S. Assay Office </u> and <u>Bureau of the Mint </u>.&nbsp; These are just as they arrived, should they be opened? Will it deminish their value? If they should remain sealed, how do I tell what is inside.</p><p>This is only a sample of the questions I think I will be faced with as I dig deeper into this collection.</p><p>Thanks for your patience and help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
