<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 3303067, member: 25270"]Your dilemma is understandable and I'm sure it can feel overwhelming. What you need to understand though is that coin collecting is a hobby where the exact date, mintmark and condition make a big deal when it comes to value, so a wide, blurry photo of a whole bunch of coins is really hard to give you good feedback on. It seems like most of them are from the U.S. and you posted this in the world coins forum. There are plenty of people here who do both of course, but if you posted close-ups of the U.S. coin in the U.S. forum, you might get faster and better answers. Generally if they are dimes, quarters, halves or dollars and are from 1964 or earlier, they are made of silver and have additional value because of that if nothing else. I also see buffalo nickels and they have value, but it depends on the year and mintmark. I see that a lot of them are taped on, which is bad. Tape can damage the coins. I also see paper money. There is a forum here for paper money collectors too, and that's a specialized interest. So what I'm saying is that while I know you just want quick answers, it's not really possible without you breaking it down into more manageable pieces for the experts here to analyze.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
