<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 48260, member: 112&quot;]Howdy Exocet5 - Welcome to the Forum !!</p><p><br /></p><p>Well based on your comments it sounds like you wish to keep the collection - but you want to know just what you have. Great !! - I commend you for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first thing I would suggest is that you go out and buy yourself a Red Book - <i>The Guide Book of US Coins</i>. This will provide with the ability to identify each coin and give you some basic tips on how to grade the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The next thing you need to do is to catalog the collection - your suggestion of an Excell spread sheet is excellent. Just list all the denominations and enter each coin along with mint mark and your estimate of grade ( condition ).</p><p><br /></p><p>Once you get that accomplished - then it will be much easier for you to talk to others about the collection and have them understand what exactly you have. This will help is trying to establish values for each coin. No doubt, many of them will be worth only a dollar or two - some less than that. But there may others are worth a considerable amount. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you wish, please post pics of the coins with your questions here on Coin Talk and we will do our best to answer them. By the way - you mentioned a 1942 dollar - there is no such US coin. Was that a typo ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
