Don't worry about what those coins are worth right now. You are not going to sell them anyway so what they are worth is what you like them to be. </p><p>The main thing as already said over and over is Buy some books on coins. Possibly the Red Book. Don't believe price guides. There is NO MANUFACTURERS LIST PRICE ON COINS. </p><p>When you go out to buy a house, car, boat, etc. most people do not just pay what is the asking price. Most people try to chew the owners down. Same with coins. There are many price guides and they are what they are, Guides. There are no bar codes on coins. There are no price tags stamped on coins. Any coin can sell for what ever you want then to. </p><p>Keep away from ebay or any on line auctions or web sites until you know more. </p><p>The main thing is to stay here and ask, ask, ask, ask until you know more than us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
