<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 556440, member: 4552"]WELCOME TO THE FORUM. </p><p>First of all I recognize those blue folders. Those are those Whitman folders for coins. Please get those coins out of there. Those are for kids and for not really any valuable coins. The process to make those is to place paper on a table, coat the entire sheet with glue, place the slotted cardboard on that, allow to dry and then cut as required. The problem here is the rear of all slots is glue. Many kids like that since a worn coin could fall out so they wet the slot with spit and the glud now holds the coins. Also, those slots are tapered to hold coins better. However, this means you must push the coin into the slots with usually your thumb. Although I've known people that use a rubber hammer for that. </p><p>Next as already noted you may want to purchase something called the Red Book by Whitman Publishing. On Amazon or the Walmart Books web site. Walmart is usually the cheapest for that book. You should really know what you may have. If you don't want to invest in a book on coins just now, you may want to look up miscellaneous dates on places like the PCGS web site. Remember though the prices you see there are about 20 to 25% over stated. If in doubt as to an odd looking coin, you may want to either ask here or go to <a href="http://www.coppercoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coppercoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.coppercoins.com</a> web site. </p><p>Attempt to put all your coins in either an Album with those sliding plastic pieces, plastic rolls or more of those 2x2's. Then sell those folders on ebay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
