<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Exchequer, post: 761170, member: 21087&quot;]Hi Flatlander--</p><p>Welcome to CoinTalk. I&#039;m pretty new here myself, so hopefully others will chime in.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ll take a stab at answering #2-- Your Redbook will have a few valuable varieties/errors listed in each series, so that is a (very) basic start.&nbsp; It also shows you the mintage numbers for each year, and sometimes there is a year/mintmark that has a very low production and correspondingly high value (the ol&#039; supply and demand rule.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To go into more detail, get a copy of the Cherrypicker&#039;s Guide. Vol 1 is for cents and nickels, Vol 2 for dimes and up. I only have Vol 1.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But the Redbook only lists one for the Kennedy Halves that you asked about. It shows a 1974 D which is a DDO (doubled die obverse) for the TRUST of IN GOD WE TRUST.&nbsp; It does not have any other valuable ones listed, meaning, there are no stand-out rarities in the series; in fact, it only lists MS63 and PF 65 coins for values.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For your socks of coins, if you find a 1937 Buffalo nickel with only 3 legs, that is pretty much worthless so you can just send it to me.:whistle: (just kidding.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s great that you are getting your kids involved! Have fun!</p><p>Scott[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
