Also, I like the idea of keeping a few and getting rid of the rest. I think I'll go through it all and pick what I like before finding out the value. I just found another bag with 150 one dollar coins and I'm pretty sure I'm keeping all 1976 since they have a piece of tape on them with my name(that's when I was born). I also like the silver colored pennies, pretty much all the unusual coins, buffalo, wheat, liberty.

I'm not sure what you mean by 64 Lincoln cents, I'm sure I'll lean the more I hand around, but the uncirculated rolls are 1964p dimes and nickels.

Its starting to sound like a very nice collection.
My bad, for some reason I thought you had Lincoln cents.
They made a lot of 1964 nickels but the dimes are 90% silver and uncirculated by the sound of it.
Uncirculated rolls are nice to have.
I think your off and running already. Good luck!
Just for fun while you are gently handling those Eisenhower $1.00 coins. See if you can spot the two types of lettering on the backs ( reverse ) One has thin lettering, the other a very flat wide lettering.

I'm loving this already. I do see two different lettering.

Ok, so why do the flatter letter ones seem to have a different color, one has a lot of green?

I just found a lot of "Shore line coin collector" tri fold books(not sure what to call them). The one I'm looking at says "liberty Head Nickels 1883-1913". My new mission is to complete all these books.

The Liberty nickel is one of the sets I am currently working on also. I'm finding it quite the challenge at times to find ones in the grade I desire. Welcome to the challenge.

This remind me of when I first started collecting coins, brings back nostalgic time and having fun with discovering each series. Good Luck!

I have started separating the coins and a couple of them I have questions about. First what happened to this quarter?

Next, what is this? The container it's in says 1883:

The quarter had another coin pressed into it and I believe the second one is a Shield nickel

Thank you. What about this on a 38 Walking Liberty half dollar:

The AW is the designer initials- Adolph Weinman.

Those designer initials on the half are at about 4 o'clock. Look across about 8 o'clock for the letter D mintmark.
If you have one there, this becomes much more than a 1938 Walking Liberty half dollar.
A 1938 D is a key date to complete this series.
