Hi, My father collected a lot of coins through the years and he handed them over to me to eventually sell. I bought a book to start seeing what there is,
however I am quickly becoming overwhelmed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get started so I don't spin my wheels for hours to realize I should
have been doing something entirely different. My thought was to make an inventory of what there is. Any suggestions regarding the best way to do that? Is there
a good software to use to do this and would doing it on the computer be a better idea vs. writing everything down? (I have a Mac) A far as organizing, I'm
assuming the best way is to do it is by type of coin. The coins are US coins for the most part. Thanks for any advice you care to offer. Also, if there is a
site you can recommend that I should read, that would be appreciated also. I'm completely new to all this, minus about 2 hours.... Many thanks.

MakesCents,
It's a big task to take on because coins that may appear average and normal could be worth quite a bit more, while a coin one year earlier or later could be worth face value. Without becoming familiar with the series, it's hard to tell what you've got. My suggestion would be to create an account at Numismaster and enter you coins into their inventory. It will give you a price and will keep updating it over time so you can track how much the coins are worth. It also tells you how much your total collection is worth. It will take some time to enter the coins in, but it's free so it will only take time, not money. Good luck! |

Thank you so much for your reply, I appreciate it very much. I'll check the site out, it sounds like a good idea and a very good place to start for someone
not familiar with this hobby. Although, it has been fun looking through the book I got and seeing what he has! Take care, and have a great day,
