<p>[QUOTE=&quot;emtoucan, post: 80355, member: 4459&quot;]I&#039;ve had a quick chat with him and there is a rough grading system in his note book outlining those coins that are Unc or Proof.&nbsp; As the book and notes are in Italian I didn&#039;t realise&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking this is going to be a long term project, possibly a few years to be honest.&nbsp; Almost all the coins are still in Italy and I&#039;m based in the UK, so just getting them here is going to take some time.&nbsp; I think that&#039;s why I&#039;m struggling to grasp the grading concept without having the coins in front of me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went to the library and copied a couple of page of the Catalog of World Coins last night to see if it would be useful before I buy and so that I can start to create an excel spreadsheet.&nbsp; I must admit that I found the whole thing fascinating and really enjoyed logging the coins and finding out a little more about each one.&nbsp; Maybe cataloging the whole collection won&#039;t be as daunting as I first thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>I think all the rolls are from the mint, but again I&#039;ll have to confirm this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to visit a coin dealer here in London this week just for a chat and to ask him questions directly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for your advise.&nbsp; I&#039;ll keep you all updated on the status and once I catalogued some of the collection I&#039;ll give you some idea of what I taking about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
