<p>[QUOTE="spirit, post: 3211621, member: 90636"]You did not mention how your grandfather stored them. You must make a quick inventory of the coins and separate the valuable ones from the common ones. The ''nicer'' ones should be kept in individual non-pvc hard plastic to minimize movement. If the whole collection is valuable to you, whether emotionally or financially, store all of them this way and then keep them in a cool, dry and dark environment, especially if your plan is to pass them on to the next non-numismatic generation. This way, the preservation work will already have been done and the distribution of the coins to multiple family members will be a lot easier and a lot safer. There will also be less of a chance of anyone mishandling or cleaning a coin that is ''sealed'' in a plastic case compared to a raw coin that could be rolled onto the sidewalk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
