<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedTiger, post: 616260, member: 19098&quot;]Odds are high they are worth $12 to $20 each. High grade uncirculated coins and/or rare die-varieties could be worth more, possibly much more. However, it is unlikely that random common coins were so well preserved or are a rare variety. </p><p><br /></p><p>What kind of holders, if any were the coins in? A coffee can? A cigar box? 2x2 cardboard holders? Small plastic holders with screws? The latter would certainly increase the odds of nicer coins and higher prices. The coffee can, or cigar box, or no holder would usually mean they are circulated and likely in the $12 to $20 range.</p><p><br /></p><p>A person can look up coin values on Numismedia or the PCGS price guide.</p><p><a href="http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml</a></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/prices/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/prices/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A person still has to figure out the grading, but the price guides will give a person an indication as to which coins in which dates and mintmarks might have high values. The guides list retail prices. If coins are offered for sale to a dealer, dealer offers will tend to be much lower than guide.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
