[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 1185069, member: 21782"]Nice coins, I like "type" coins in VG to VF condition - they're usually affordable, still have enough detail to tell what the coin is supposed to look like, and you collect one of each type of coin. You could trade or sell your duplicates. As for holders , you may want to consider picking up a type folder or album, which is what I use for most of my circulated coins in my collection. I save the Air-Tites for uncirculated or more valuable circulated coins. If you're going to use filps, make sure they are Safe Flips (pvc free). Some don't like flips because the coin slides around in them. If the coins have been in the holders they’re in for a long time (many years) and they don’t have anything "growing" on them, I'd leave them in the holders they're in. If you remove them, I'd puncture the mylar film (with a pen knife away from the coin) and push the coin out, rather than try to pull the 2x2 apart - this will guarantee you wont scratch the coin with a staple. Looks like you have enough Indian Head Cents to start a folder of those alone. Your 60's Kennedy’s will be either 90% or 40% silver.[/QUOTE]
