Message:: [QUOTE="cykopat, post: 289096, member: 10501"]Since I'm the newb, here's a newb question.  As some may remember I received ammo buckets full of coin, paper money and world coins and paper money. So now I plan to sit down and sort through the coins and other items.  My question is, what's the best method for sorting? What I mean by that should I group say all pennies from 1920-1929 into one bin and then break it down further into single years?  Then the question which I hope doesn't offend the true collectors here. What do I do with all the coins that once sorted say are not worth any collecting value? I really don't plan or want to store all the coin--so if there is no value should I just <GULP> dump them in a coinstar? <Double GULP> So what I know at this point from the members here:<ul> <li>Try not to touch the coins, use cotton gloves if possible</li> <li>Try to preserve the coin as it is now and never attempt cleaning</li> </ul>So I did order some of those 2x2 flat folds in case I find something of value and some tubes to store some of the nicer coins. I have about 3 ammocans full of coins labeled ????-1910, 1911-1930, 1930+. So I assume old gramps did some sorting already.  As always I understand these may be "Go check coins.about.com or something noob" type questions, but it never hurts to ask.. I appreciate your time and consideration.  Thanks[/QUOTE]
