I wanna thank you all for your comments please don't be afraid to tell me like it is I've been collecting for along time but just here and there but just recently I've decided to go go through them all . and I'm starting with the 1 cents . is there a site I can go to to look at where I can see all the important things that I need to look for before I take them back to the bank ? is there a stopping date that I should keep all the coins before a certain date? thanks again .

If there are any coins you don't want, I can take them off your hands

Different sites have different information, so it all depends what you are even looking for. IF it is prices, I recommend a RedBook and seeing the SOLD listings on sites like ebay.
If you want to grade your coins, I recommend Photograde from PCGS--http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/

What you have in the picture is a 1898 Indian Head cent, made from 1859-1909. I do not recommend at throwing these back into circulation.

Next in line for pennies is the Lincoln Wheat cent, made from 1909 to 1958. Rare dates include 1909S, 1909 VDB, 1909 VDB-S, 1914-D, 1931-S, etc
Wheats from the 50's are the most common, but as you go to the 40's, 30's, 20's, and 10's, the dates get a bit higher in value. In my personal opinion, I do not like throwing wheats back into circulation either, but that is just me.

In regards with nickels, you will get V nickels (1883-1912), Buffalo nickels (1913-1938), and Jefferson nickels (1938-present).
*Note: 1942-1945 Jeff Nickels that have a giant P/D/S letter over the Montecello building on the back are 35% SILVER, so don't go dumping those.

As for dimes, quarters, and half dollars, any date from 1964 or older is 90% silver (with the exception of 1965-1970 half dollars, which are 40% silver).

Hope that helps in some way

If you have all of those wheats, you can always buy an album and start filling holes. Also, you could sort them by year and look for variety, errors, woody pennys, etc.

There really aren't any rules for collecting, have at it
(just as long as you don't steal from others, that is a big no-no )

Whatever you do please don't throw them back into circulation, enough coins have been lost as it is, you can easily find people willing to pay far above face value for these coins.

Take them back to the bank? I highly recommend you keep them. If nothing else save them for your kids.
Rest in Peace

Your IHC's are avg. circs. worn and scratched. there is a lot of literature out there about any
coins you want to know about. I would start with the Red Book, just use there coin values as a guide not as the true up to the minute price. getting rid of some of you coins will not be a problem. there are plenty of CCF members who would BIN or BID on them. Remember about your photo's.
