Sounds like a good idea.  Some of the books are nearly full with most probably around half full.  Guess my next step will be going through those to determine what is of value and which books to replace. 

Ok thanks, won’t attempt to clean them.  The books range from pennies to half dollars and from say the late 1800’s to current. 

Well I have them mostly sorted by denomination, except for the non US coins. I don’t have too many of those.  Will tackle those afterwards.  I have a few follow up questions though. Is it worth trying to clean them?  If so, what should be used?  Also, I have a bunch of the old blue coin folders that are falling apart and was debating pulling the coins out. Is it worth having those as complete sets or were those simply intended as another way to sort coins?  Thanks again for the feedback. 

Thank you all for the suggestions. I have a pretty good mix from all over, some that are quite old, up to the more recent dates. I already have a few world coin books along with the red book to use for reference.  I like the thought of using the 2x2 flips with a binder. Would think that would store nicely.  As far as the grading goes, I would only consider having the more valuable ones graded prior to selling them, but would need to figure out what value that is and wasn’t sure if having them officially graded would make a difference. 

Hello all, I am new to the site but not exactly new to collecting.  I have been “inheriting” coins from a few family members throughout the years and have a few questions. What is a good way to sort/store them and is it worth sending them out to be graded? I haven’t really done anything with them and the pile is starting to add up.  Some of them are in sleeves and labeled, but most are loose.  I imagine at some point I will start selling some of them, but for now I’d like to get them organized.  Thanks in advance.
