Thank you everyone for your insight and advice so far - really helpful! I'll keep you posted on my progress and any interesting or curious coins I find. Thanks again.

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and to the world of coins and have a couple of newbie questions. I'm sorting through my late Dad's coin collection so we can sell them. There are several thousand from around the world, many from Europe (esp. Great Britain) and the US so far. They been in storage 36 years and most are in labelled sleeves but they're not organized and most aren't high value enough to warrant professional grading. My questions are: - Whats the best way to categorize/organize and prepare them for sale? - Are there any good resources you'd recommend that can help us assess their potential value (NGC is great but we might need others)? I know there are a ton of variables to assessing coin value, but for us to have even a sense / range of value would be really helpful. I'm prepared for the process to take a very long time and that's OK - so far it's been a fun and great learning. Thank you for any advice you have.
