Call me an optimist if you like, but I have the feeling that out of fifteen gallons of pocket change you will find at least one coin worth a bit more than face value along with one or two errors / varieties..

What John1 and Ilikeabecoins said.. Further, start with a segment of one denomination -- for example: Lincoln cents, memorial reverse, copper 1959 - 1982.. Now you're only dealing with 24 years worth of one value.. Definitely helps stave off grey matter overload.. EDIT: I didn't mean 'start with' as much as I meant 'concentrate on..' Yes, as you peruse here and those other sites take a look at as much as you can, or at least the modern coinage areas -- since that's what will be in your water cooler jugs.. ( How the heck did they get moved..? Topped off they had to have weighed a good 200 pounds each... ) As you're checking things out though, you'll find yourself developing interest in something moreso than the rest; let's say dimes, a step further Roosevelt's and more specifically the silver years.. With nearly no effort you now know where to begin.. Next thing you know you have working-without-a-net knowledge and can begin adding to it section by section.. And you're off! Have a wonderful journey..  Swamp
