<p>[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 524540, member: 13016"]To get rough ideas, you can visit your local library and get a copy of the Red Book. This will give you retail coin prices.

There are other online price guides, but the reliability of these is suspect. The best way may be to inventory what you have and post a list here, and let us offer an opinion of what it's worth.
