Welcome PennyFinder,
What ever you do, DO NOT just take them to a store to sell. I made this mistake with some of our inherited collections. Once I learned more and joined here, I could have pulled what little hair out I have left when I learned what fair market was for those coins.
Be patient, listen to the advice here, learn and start cataloging and seperating out what you have. You will have a lot of fun learning and sorting out what you have. Congratulations.

Before you get excited about the steel pennies, check their dates. If they say 1943, you aren't looking at a goldmine. You're looking at around a dollar.

First of all welcome to CCF. All of the above people have given you some good information. Definitely do some research and get yourself some decent magnifier glasses, cotton gloves and coin tongs. I would get yourself some Wheat cent albums to put your coin finds in. A book or two on errors and go from there. If this don't make a collector out of you....nothing will. Have fun and enjoy this great hobby.

To the OP, how did you make out? Did you sort them or just end up getting rid of them? Always curious with finds like this :)
