Message:: [QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3053870, member: 84179"]If you're saving one of every date and mintmark, it's a keeper until you find a nicer one (Which shouldn't be too long if you're a roll hunter).  If you have some interest in coins, I highly recommend buying A Guidebook of United States COins (Redbook).  It's filled with all kinds of info about US COins, inc mintages, brief grading descriptions, compositions, and historical info.  I wouldn't rely on the absolute values in the pricing sections, but you can get a good idea if the coin you have is a better date, or common. As you continue with hobby, it will be the best $10-$12 you'll ever spend.<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiBmYPzz7naAhWBNd8KHZFUDwsQjRx6BAgAEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGuide-Book-United-States-Coins%2Fdp%2F0794845061&psig=AOvVaw0vDZ2N9eFSyGdcvQAovlxz&ust=1523790405863494" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiBmYPzz7naAhWBNd8KHZFUDwsQjRx6BAgAEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FGuide-Book-United-States-Coins%2Fdp%2F0794845061&psig=AOvVaw0vDZ2N9eFSyGdcvQAovlxz&ust=1523790405863494" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51vv8FmczFL._SX357_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]
