I inherited some coins and gold. I'm not familiar with coins at all. Are there any resources that can help me identify easily. I feel rushed with family to sell them to them. Most items are WW1 and on. Not sure what I'm doing and feeling like people are being pushy to take advantage. Thank you in advance for any guidance.

You could always go on EBay and see what others are asking for the same coins you have in hand. Obviously there is the condition factor but at least it'll get you a head start.

Thank you! I've been reading up online. Aside from some cool finds I think this has lit a little fire in me. This is pretty cool!

Get a previous years issue of the RED BOOK, it's worth going thru with the coins. Just might have a silent sleeper of value, based on condition = your value.
You can do it, just take your time. Have some of the family members help you if there is that many coins, they too might get interested in the hobby.
