<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Toddaray, post: 1184883, member: 31146&quot;]Hello, I hope this will not be to overwhelming being my first post here. I know I am very much overwhelmed walking into this hobby and I have lots of questions.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have inherited a couple hundred coins I am not sure what to do with. There are some pics below of some of the older coins. I was wondering if I have worthless change or stuff worth keeping. Is something telling me to plunge into this hobby by getting a head start like this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is some of what I have. I will follow the pics by how many copies I have. They were all priced to sell but that was in 1990 or so. There are also alot of abbreviations on them I dont understand. They are also all in little cardboard sleeves with a window and three staples. Is this a safe way to have them stored? Feel free to PM me with comments or post them here.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1853 3 cent, Have 2 of these, one is much darker but with bold lines, this is the nicer of the two.</p><p><img src="http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy185/toddaray/Coins/18333cent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1865 Three cent</p><p>Also have one from 1868.

No idea what that means.</p><p><img src="http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy185/toddaray/Coins/1904Dime.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>1943 Steel Lincoln Cent. N</p><p>ever seen these before, thought they were neat. I have 11 of them marked MS60 or MS63, dont know what that means either.</p><p><img src="http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy185/toddaray/Coins/1943SSteelcent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Indian Cents</p><p>I have 26 of these. 11 of them pre 1900. Again, many markings I dont understand VF, XF ect.</p><p><img src="http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy185/toddaray/Coins/1898Penny.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Liberty nickels.</p><p>I have over 20 of these most are in about the same condition as this one I scanned. </p><p><img src="http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy185/toddaray/Coins/1912Nickel.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Buffalo nickels</p><p>Have 6 of these, the scan dosent show this having the rainbow type effect that it has when in hand. Some of these say UNC, dont know what that means.</p><p><img src="http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy185/toddaray/Coins/1913PNickelType2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Shield Nickels</p><p>I have four of these 1867, 1868, 1876 and 1882.

Dont know why they are black but they were in a separate box by them selves.</p><p><img src="http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy185/toddaray/Coins/1958BB2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I also have these modern coins.
