<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 618780, member: 19065"]Get some good coin reference books and search ALL of your hoards for key dates and anything you want for your personal collection. I personally suggest that you separate the rest out in rolls. Sell the wheat pennies separated in rolls from the memorials. Return the memorials to your bank (minus high grades you come by). Put the silver content coins to work for you, again separate key dates and things you want for yourself, then roll them and sell them to other roll searchers on auction sites or wherever you like as well as those you can sell off for melt value (if low grade or common date to you.) This will free you up of heavy cumbersome storage of lots of space to fill in you closet where the coins once sat idle. It will return money to you which would otherwise be sitting in the dark and of little value. Use this money you get back from resale or cashing in to the bank, etc. to buy the coins you LOVE, want or would like to invest in. Ask lots of questions here as you go...</p><p><br /></p><p>This is pretty much what I've come to do with my circulation coin hoards from years of culling dates, filling folders with coins I wanted, learning about mintage numbers error coins and values, etc. Now I'm on to bigger and better searches and still loving the hunt.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm new to CT too, but not to coin collecting and coin & currency appreciation.

This is pretty much what I've come to do with my circulation coin hoards from years of culling dates, filling folders with coins I wanted, learning about mintage numbers error coins and values, etc. Now I'm on to bigger and better searches and still loving the hunt. I'm new to CT too, but not to coin collecting and coin & currency appreciation.
