[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 27264, member: 705"]Well I would get a Red-Book like Ed said but remember that the prices in that book are not always right. Its more of a guide book and since you said most of the coins were circulated I'd get Photograde. nesvt said to look for VAM but for the first few times going through the coins I wouldn't untill you get used to looking at them and grading them...I have never looked for VAMS and probably never will but that is just me--what ever floats the boat....and I'm not trying to put nesvt down I'm just giving the other side :D ;) If you find a rare coin in BU do NOT hold it with your finger tips on the face of the coin...always hold the coin (BU or not) by the edge (or rim). Some Morgan dollars have been conterfeited so beware of that too. I saw a 1893-S yesterday in VG it had been cleaned (NEVER CLEAN A COIN) and it was marked $2,000.00. Hope you find sometihng good.
