<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nick69, post: 2986342, member: 92972&quot;]That&#039;s great I&#039;m so glad to hear that you have a spark of interest in this. I personally have been collecting coins for over 50 years but I&#039;m not a professional by any means. I do however have a love for numismatics. Hopefully your kids will appreciate them as much as your mother did and maybe start a new collector in them! Being just recently retired I&#039;d love going through a hoard of coins like yours but I know you don&#039;t know me and I don&#039;t know you so I hope you have fun looking at all of them and learning about coins it can be a fun hobby especially when there&#039;s value involved. Oh and I almost forgot one thing (I don&#039;t mean to throw a monkey wrench into the works) there&#039;s also something else to look for in coins. Errors. The Mint inadvertantly produces errors. There&#039;s all kinds of errors way too many to try to explain here. I didn&#039;t specifically see anything in your pictures that showed any errors but they could be possible. If you do find any errors they could add a significant amout of value to an already valuable coin. Do some research with your kids and it might not be a bad idea to separate your coins into denominations first and study one type of coin at a time. You could start with whatever you have the most of, or the least of, or just start with one cent coins and continue from there. If there&#039;s anything you can&#039;t identify you can always come back here and ask someone. Good luck again and happy coin hunting!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
