<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 553327, member: 4552&quot;]To start with WELCOME TO THE FORUM. Most forgot to say that. </p><p>As already fairly well noted about not cleaning any of them but here is my 2 CENTS:</p><p>1. Do not clean any of those coins</p><p>2. Do not take them to a coin store and ask if they are worth anything. </p><p>3. Find out where you can acquire a thing called the Red Book by Whitman Publishing. Usually decently priced on the Walmart Books web site of Amazon.com</p><p>4. Look up each coin when you acquire that book. Ignore the prices listed. those are as a rule 20% over actual selling prices. </p><p>5. Ask on this web site for a on line dealer that sells coin holding or stocking supplies. I usually get all mine from coin shows but some on this web site have some great references for on line dealers. </p><p>6. If your coins are all raw, meaning not in any type holder, purchase soe of those 2x2&#039;s for those coins</p><p>7. Place as many in the 2x2&#039;s for now to protect them until you decide on thier fate.</p><p>8. I would suggest you keep them all for now at least. Possibly you could start a family tradition of a handmedown of something of both value and family history. </p><p>9. If you decide to keep them, and in those 2x2&#039;s, you may want to acquire some of those plastic pages that hold 20 of the 2x2&#039;s. Then you could place them in a 3 ringed binder, add pages with some history about the coins and when you got them, from who, etc. In other words you start a family tradition.</p><p>10. Unless you need money drastically now, keep them all. Coins are really a great thing to pass down. That is what someone already tried doing to you. </p><p>11. Don&#039;t worry about them anymore and send them to me. I&#039;ll take care of them and for free.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:goofer: And this is why they have those silly faces on the right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
