I also just inherited coins and I found this site by researching to find out what some of them are. Very new to this so I will take this a step at a time! Thank you for allowing me to join!

There are lots of knowledgeable and friendly folks here that will be happy to help you learn what you have, and what value your coins may hold.

Please provide images of any coins you would like to ask about, as this will help us confirm the identity, and grade the coins.

You have to inspect the coins, use gloves (cotton)
Do not clean them*

What does the back look like, or is it the same on both sides? OK I see from the other thread.

Fascinating, especially since they are still in the original wrappers and in the original bag. You have one out to show what they are, I would leave the others in the paper. At most I would unwrap just one more to display obv and reverse along with the original "packaging".

Very nice! I don't think that paper is doing anything good to those coins. Personally I would put them in hard plastic cases which would preserve them better.
