<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 461536, member: 307"]You could also ask here by the series. Ask what the key and semi-key dates in a series are, someone here should know. If it's 20th century, I can generally tell you. Once you have taken the semi-keys and keys out, then it depends on either the intrinsic value of the remaining coins, or whatever happens to interest you about that series. Many collectors search for varieties like doubled dies and repunched mintmarks, some would just rather collect by date and mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as storage, that depends on what kind of condition they are in. To this day, I still pull really nice unc coins from circulation for each current year and store them in babyfood jars by date. I don't shake the jars, and the coins stay nice. I also have a junk box that I keep coins that I am unsure about. I tend to use cigar boxes, but be careful as the paper and residue might tone coins a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
