Hi,
My name is Ken and I live in Las Vegas. A little about why I am here. First off, I am not a collector. I found 3 U.S. coins when going through my dad's things after he passed. After a preliminary search online I discovered that these coins MAY be of some value. But as one not versed in coin values I thought I would find a forum where I could get specific info before I even try a coin dealer. Someone had advised me not to go to a brick and mortar coin dealer without having my ducks in order and knowing something of the coins I am bringing in. That said:

1. Is this the proper site for my purpose?
2. Which sub-forum would I post in?
3. Guidelines for posting pics of the coins?

I will be looking to sell the coins if they are of good value, but that is down the road. I want to take this one step at a time.

Thanks for you your advice.

Ken

to the CCF, Ken! Yes, you have come to the right place. Very knowledgeable people here (not me, for the most part), and we will gladly assist you - for free! It's a good idea to get information about the coins you inherited before going to a local coin shop (LCS).
There is a tutorial on posting images - see the link below. You can take really good pictures with a cell phone using Earle42's set-up . The bottle cap and ring light are not essential.
Guide to posting images: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...g-images.asp
As for the proper forum, it depends on what type of coins you have - whether modern, classical US, commemoratives, bullion, international, etc.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
