Ok, so I've managed to get the 2x2 flips semi-organized. I inserted those into 4x5 8.5"x11" sleeves for easier viewing, dealing with, etc...

From my early and brief browsing, I see that many/most are common (or what I believe to be common). That said, let's say I have 200 Washington quarters, all 1964 and earlier. Let's say that I have looked at each and none are rare or otherwise special. Grade-wise, I have no idea what they are. Some are very shiny, some with wear, you name it... If I were to want to sell them, do I remove them from the 2x2 flips, put them into a plastic tube and sell them bulk for melt value or what? What's the process? I don't know what I want to do but I doubt I want 200 Washington Quarters. Some of the old dollars I like but I'd rather have fewer nice coins than many mediocre coins.

thanks

 

Also, as for general value questions... I realize it's too expensive to have basic coins valued by a reputable company so how do you guys do it? Those 200 quarters I have - just because I don't see value doesn't mean they don't have value beyond melt.

Are steel pennies worth keeping? Jefferson nickels (wartime)? SBA dollars? 1976-1776 quarters/halves?

thanks

 

There all worth something but some a bit more

Welcome to CT.
As as common silver this may help you http://www.coinflation.com/silver_coin_values.html
The Red Book will help on steel cents etc. get a decent magnifier.

 

Personally, if they are already in flips, I would leave them that way.

 

Some pics. I'll start with the dollars and work my way down. Far fewer dollars than anything else. See anything interesting that I need to look at closer? General thoughts on what you see in terms of quality?

(I tried to create and insert a media album but don't think it uploaded right. I'm just direct loading the images here.)

thanks-

 

Not to put you to work Brother, but closeup individual shots of the more 'agreeable coins' are a must. Exclude the well worn Walkers.........

 

help me out -- what ARE the more "agreeable" coins?

 

The Morgans, and especially the Peace Dollars.........

If that '28 Peace is a Philly, trifecta.......

 

ok ... i'll pull some out and try more individual high-res shots

 

here's a few close ups - gang scanned at 600dpi

 

Joel,

You should see if there is a coin club near you. Good chance that some members would be willing to look at your coins and help sort them. Likely you'll meet some really nice folks. Be careful of any offers to buy them until you feel like there has been a reasonably impartial evaluation.

Cal

 

I can't imagine that every coin is from Philadelphia, some of those dates should have mint marks next to them on the flips.

 

I'd sure like to have your problem!
Morgan dollars and Walking halves especially I love!
