The two British pennies on the right hand side are just common date coins that are still legal tender for 1p each in the United Kingdom.

I think one important question to ask yourself is, "How much time do I want to dedicate to this hobby?" In evaluating any potentially valuable coins the grade is probably the 2nd most important feature with an assurance that you are not wasting your time on a counterfeit, the most important question etc. Once you have ascertained the above, it will give you that warm fuzzy feeling that you are putting your time to good use. And finally, in numismatics the 'diamonds in the rough' are the discoveries of rare and sometimes very valuable versions of how the mint stamped the coin. Those more intricate details (photos and pricing) are accessible at one of two locations in terms of TPGs that are the top two in the industry. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfactshttps://www.NGCcoin.com/variety-plus/ |

to the CCF I wouldn't exactly call it an old collection. Most of those coins are fairly modern. With this type of coin, condition is everything and what you have seems to be well circulated. The only thing I see worth much more than face value would be the couple of silver coins ( any dime or quarter 1967 or earlier) and they would be worth the value of bullion. The wheatie might be worth about 5 cents. Would be a good start to a collection if you are looking towards that. |

Welcome to the hobby, everyone starts somewhere and you have a nice starting assortment of coins, unfortunately, not much value ~$14 for the silver. But if you decide to build it over time, it can be a lot of fun, I always like the thrill of the hunt. My advice would be to educate yourself as much as possible before going out on a spending spree, there are a ton of great free resources online and in your local library, a copy of Charelton will probably provide an interesting read for you.

I appreciate all the insights and welcoming. I don't think I see this in the long term as I already have other expensive hobbies (Trading Cards), I was mostly here to satisfy my curiosity to be honest.
I think it would help me better if I can know what I should do with:
Pennies:
Nickels:
Dimes and quarters: (I understand that at the time period they are silver, is it worth melting or keeping as is?)

if you have no interest in coins, and want to sell them all. you are probably looking at 10-12 $ total value..they are basically worth less than melt, because most people don't buy coins for melt. as they have to make something as well.

A local coin shop would buy the entire lot. That said, you would get face value other than the silver coins.
