    I am new to this coin thing too. My dad left me a bunch of coins when he died in 2017 and I broke my ribs in December and was forced out of my job. I got a wild idea to have them inspected and graded. This seems to be both fun and disappointing. I spent $315 to grade 15 mint and proof the quarters from the 1999-2009 state quarters collections, thinking that because the mints were in mint wrappers, they would be MS69 and MS70 like the proofs were, but I was dismayed to say the least. So, I am gathering other ideas to make use of my coins and time. I have read articles of how coins go up and down in value, so I decided to grade them rather than turn them into trinkets or jewelry like those who "roll" coins into rings or "press" pennies in them novelty shop presses.

      The people on here have helped me so much. They have a plethora of knowledge and are willing to give it to someone who wants to learn for free. You don't find that very often anywhere. So, if I were you, I would definitely post anything on here and see what they have to say about it first and what they might do. I have just recently learned that some of the people you may be speaking with aren't just regular people, well they are regular people, just not for lack of a better word "laymen". They are experts in the field and are telling you the most accurate information available... On their own time and dime because this is their passion and I couldn't be more grateful. 

      And if you need any tips on your shadowbox, please let me know.
