Make sure you DO NOT clean/polish/dip anything!! this site will tell you how to grade coins http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/ then find the grade you determine in a chart on this site to determine value. http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml I would also suggest a book called "A guide Book on United Sates coins" AKA the Red Book. Most bookstores have this book. It will also give you a ballpark estimate of value. You can also take some pics of your coins and upload them here. We will help you in any way we can.

jhp2104 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 11/11/2014 10:37 pm Good luck with your project. A similar exercise got me started and interested in the massive world of numismatics. Take it slow and listen to the very wise people on this forum. Report this Post to the Staff
DoubleEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1748 Posts	Posted 11/13/2014 7:38 pm Go out a grab a copy of "A guide book for United States coins" for 2015. It is called the " Red Book". Read through and check each coin by it. An aquaintance once brought me his hoard before he was going to go out and sell it about 10 years back. He had an 1893-S Barber half and with my Red Book told him this one is worth more than the others, as an example. Good to know before you go to a dealer. Do not clean, dip or polish any of the coins, btw. Good luck and have fun! Edited by DoubleEagle20 11/13/2014 7:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 11/17/2014 5:54 pm Keep any pennies dated before 1959! Those can be worth a TON depending on grade mint mark, etc... Report this Post to the Staff
Tonedog86 New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 12/01/2014 11:47 am Pennies anything before 1959 are worth more than face value. Check your 1960 and 1970 dates as there are varieties of them. Report this Post to the Staff
