Coin Collectors

Just want to say Hi! and warn you up front that I’m a real newb at coin collecting. I have just recently had part of a collection drop into my lap and going through them I began to realize that I was going to have some questions about some of them. I did a search on google and..well..here I am. Hope I’m at the right place and please be patient with me, and gentle with your answers to what I’m sure will be very newbish questions…thanks
