[QUOTE="kanga, post: 2681761, member: 9270"]Yes, it be work. [B]First, don't even think about cleaning any of them. Cleaning destroys value.[/B] Question 1 can best be handled by getting a Red Book. This assumes the coins are US or mostly US. Look up and get a Red Book on eBay. It doesn't need to be current but at least recent (last 5 years). You will use it to identify your coins, grade your coins and get an idea of value. DO NOT TAKE THE RED BOOK PRICES AS GOSPEL. But for a start you are looking for coins that seem to good value. IF you find something that appears to have good value (your definition) post a large, in focus picture in here. Plenty of people here to give you help. Question 2: -- Storage: From what I could see leave then in their current holders an put them in a cool, [B]DRY [/B]place. -- See Question 1 -- Write right on the holder if it will accept ink. -- Organize by face value (cents, nickels, dimes, etc.) Question 3: Put this possibility aside until you get good answers to Questions 1 & 2.[/QUOTE]
