<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Turner, post: 1393940, member: 36824&quot;]Hi everyone!!! (From Brussels, sorry in advance for the spelling mistakes)</p><p><br /></p><p>First thing first, I would like to say that I really enjoyed reading some of the members contributions on this website, more than often really insightful.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a newbie when it comes to coin, grading and valuing them. In fact, I never thought that one day I would have in my possession some interesting ones, and to be honest, even during my studies (I&#039;m an historian and an historian of art, archaeologist), I&#039;ve never pay too much attention to the few coins (antique, medieval, etc.) which fell into my hands. Shame on me ... boooo</p><p>Anyway, I&#039;ve recently inherited 13 coins, gold coins from four countries. I&#039;ve made some research, I&#039;ve checked some websites, so I have my ideas on their worth. Actually, I&#039;m not that bother by that, I think I want to keep them and start a collection (searching about information, looking about their respective history was enjoyable to me). What really interest me, is their grade, well your opinion/valuation on their level of conservation. If they are real of course! I do think/hope they are ...</p><p>So what do you think of them? Also, I would like some advise on how I should conserve them; if I should appraise those coins or not (Where and Why, the cost, for the american coins keep in my I&#039;m from Belgium)?</p><p><br
