Message:: [QUOTE="Cylii, post: 1608490, member: 43071"]In my dad's possession is my grandpa's coin collection. You might just say he was a hoarder. Grandpa owned a gas station for twenty plus years and at one time had two. There is a over abundance of almost every coin except for any gold. Some are in bank bags, mostly in rolls but not all.  There are a few books (not completed) from what I've seen. A few are slabbed but mostly cardboard protectors.  He had most of them sorted by decade. Some by year depending of what it was. Well I think you get the drift.     Dad wanted to take them to a bank/dealer. That's when I jumped in.  Yes it needs to be sold (except for the few I might want). Dad's plan is to use the money to help buy grandparents house back from medicare/medicaid? I get those two confused.      For a few months I have researching, reading and trying to learn the most I can. It's all very fascinating! I thought I would start with the pennies (50% of collection). So I concentrated on that learning pennies. Then dad wanted me to take a look at some other coins stashed away. I then turned my attention to silver coins. That's when the steam came out of my ears of my brain being overloaded with info. So here I am. What coins should I focus on first? How do I remember key dates? Can I find a list of error coins? (already started reading cherrypickers)Can't wait for your suggestions[/QUOTE]
