I saw those 55 doubled dies you posted and thought your father knew what to collect, but WOW!! With the caliber of this collection I don't think you have to worry about many fake or cleaned coins in there as it seems like your father definitely knew what he was doing. Plus In all of the pics you have posted I don't see any evidence of cleaning etc.  With regards to having them graded I think that is a good idea not only for determining value for insurance/resale purposes, but also no ensure that the coins are preserved in the best possible condition in an airtight container. I wouldn't worry about having to many "body bagged" etc. but I also don't think you need to pack up the entire collection to be graded. Find someone who is knowledgeable or coins that you trust to go through with you and determine what is worth grading etc. as the process is not a cheap one. Although all you would have to do is sell 1 or 2 of the "common" 1 oz gold coins and would probably pay for it all! on a somewhat related side note - I love cats too and have about 20 ferrel cats I take care of at my work (car shop), don't suppose anyone knows of a place in the Atlanta area that would take some and find them homes, if so PM me! THanks! THANKS FOR SHARING!!![/QUOTE]
