[QUOTE="justy311, post: 343247, member: 12912"]I am fairly new to coin collecting, and when my grandfather passed away, he left his coin collection to me.

I am wondering if anyone has a website or a guide that I can look through that might help me know what key dates are. About 95% of the coins are from 1940-1959. Nothing too old or special, I did find a 3 cent coin, which I have never seen before or even known it existed, so that was pretty neat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
