Inherited a LOT of old coins

Never collected coins before, always a baseball card collector. However, my Grandfather passed away in Jan (RIP) & left me his coin collection. I really have so much, I don't know where to start. For example, I opened a couple of half dollar rolls last night (thinking they would be JFKs) & ended up being enough to build several Franklin complete sets. Almost everything is silver & there are several books filled with everything from Flying Eagle cents to Morgan dollars. I've been doing some research online but am a complete novice. How do you decide what to grade, whether or not to complete sets (just a 1916 D from a complete Mercury set or 12 LOL), etc.? Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks
