<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 290341, member: 4552&quot;]As I mentioned if I were you I would find some books on coins prior to doing anything with any of them. Again, try old book stores, flea markets, garage/yard sales for books on coins. Age doesn&#039;t matter since you should be interested in information, not prices YET. With many coins people think are not worth anything, they may well be worth more than they appear. Error coins are becoming a biggy and at coin shows they are all selling big. Also, you can search web sites such as <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.coppercoins.com</a> for infor on Lincoln Cents. Those plastic pages someone posted for 2x2&#039;s will fit in any standard 3 ringed binder. If you check coin shows, coin dealers or coin supply web sites you may find those flips, 2x2&#039;s, also come in other sizes such as 1-1/2z1-1/2 inch and larger sizes. Also, organizations sell boxes made to hold hundreds of those. Alsok, there are plastic type rolls for coins that will help preserve them. </p><p>As to the foreign coins, I too have a mountain of them and abourt half I have no idea what they are. I always tell every one I know I collect coins from other countries and they almost always pop up with a handfull for me and free. Someday I&#039;ll try to find out what they all are but for now it&#039;s just US coins.</p><p>Be real carefull with all your coins until you find out what they are. </p><p>It&#039;s odd that one of the coins you showed was a 1920D Lincoln Cent. Over the years I&#039;ve found that for some reason that coin is more difficult to find in great conditions than the so called key dates. Don&#039;t know why but just could not find any for years.</p><p>Do not clean any of those coins,&nbsp; do not bend any of the currency, do not handle any of the coins excessively, do not jingle them together. Someone gave those coins to you I presume to have someone with enough care to continue with thier expectations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
