<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 294102, member: 3011"]Don't clean any of the coins under any circumstances. As others suggested, buy a Redbook. Get to know which dates contain potentially valuable coins like the 1955 double die. Learn to spot them. Get some containers and sort the coins by year, with one container for each year. That will be a good start and make the task of evaluating what you have much easier. Don't be in a rush to look at everything or sell everything. You have enough coins to keep you occupied for a pretty long time. It might be a good idea to start with the most recent date/mintmark coins and try to value them and sell a few at a local coinshop. By doing this you will gain some experience in grading and bargaining, and by the time you get to the older and potentially more valuable coins you'll be better equipped to know what to do and how to do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of all, have fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
