<p>[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 952074, member: 23626"]The cents just might surprise you. First get some coin wrappers from the bank. Just ask and they will give you a few. You probably need to ask for some every time you get the chance. Anyway, once you have seperated say some quarters, put them in a wrapper and write on the outside what you have. ie; 6-1958 D, 3- 1958 P (for plain), 2-1957 S. Then when you get a Redbook, you already have a good start on knowing what coins you have and where they are.</p><p> </p><p>When sorting, use paper cups or even cupcake pans. The 12 holes in a cupcake pan give you 10 containers for each year of a decade with space for any Funky looking ones and those that look brand new. With the Cents, I always sort by decade, then by year. You can go through a large amount pretty quickly that way.</p><p> </p><p>I wish I could help, it sounds like a lot of fun and you might get very lucky.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
