<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 418002, member: 4920&quot;]Hi Ryan. Listen, first order of business: S_l_o_w d_o_w_n. I just loaded every one of your photos and looked at them and somebody (namely, your grandpa) took some serious time, here. You&#039;re doing good, IMO, because you&#039;re treating that with respect. I like that. Someday, you see, I&#039;m going to leave my coins to somebody I care about, too. So, let me see if I can&#039;t take you through this...how I&#039;d proceed.</p><p><br /></p><p>First step is to <i>identify </i>these coins. Here&#039;s a starting point for that, some pictures...this is a Canadian coin club: <a href="http://www.pcfleet.com/Coinclub/Canada/Can_coins-en.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcfleet.com/Coinclub/Canada/Can_coins-en.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcfleet.com/Coinclub/Canada/Can_coins-en.htm</a>. I found this just searching Canadian coins in Google. Next step is, search around for a price guide. Here&#039;s a Canadian coin dealer, and what they&#039;re offering: <a href="http://www.calgarycoin.com/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.calgarycoin.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.calgarycoin.com/index.html</a>. Ultimately, you&#039;ll need a good starter book and price guide. For U.S. coins, the book we all started with is the Red Book. Just research that in Google, and you&#039;ll find it. I don&#039;t know what book you&#039;ll need for your Canadian coins, but there are a lot of folks, here, who do, and, I&#039;m sure, will offer you help you on that. Third step is to grade your coins. A grade is just a condition of your coin. What would you rather have, something brand new, or a hand-me-down? It&#039;s the same logic, here. The better the condition, the more it&#039;s worth. The scarcer the date and mintmark, the more it&#039;s worth. We&#039;ll help you with that, the grading, once you find something you think may be interesting, and post us some good quality pics of both the heads and tails sides. Post it in World Coins, as suggested.</p><p><br /></p><p>Listen, very nice collection. You&#039;re already way ahead in the game. Good luck! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
