Message:: [QUOTE="kanga, post: 416166, member: 9270"]Use 2x2's for coins of value (your definition).WAY too much work to put all coins in 2x2's. Been there, done that. Kennedy Halves - since they are in a quart container, they aren't uncirculated.Save the silver ones in rolls (separate the 64's from the other)Look for varieties.Then turn the rest into the bank to give yourself some spending money. Washington Quarters - since they are in a quart container, they aren't uncirculated.Save the silver ones in rolls.Look for varieties and key dates.Then turn the rest into the bank to give yourself some spending money. Statehood Quarters - Look for varieties and key dates.Maybe start a set or two.Then turn the rest into the bank to give yourself some spending money.    There's a HUGE and easily detectable difference between the originals and the reissues.The originals have numismatic value.The reissues are basically bullion coins in spite of elevated prices.   That's because dealers have a value threshhold.The time and effort to seriously evaluate each coin, then put them in 2x2's (see above) with appropriate markings is not worth it for a 5 or 10 or 20 cent coin.They don't have the time.That's why you can occasionally find a sleeper in a dealer's box.And dealers don't care if you find a $10 coin in a 10 cent box.They know that will bring you back again.[/QUOTE]
