Interestingly, at some point, someone put stickers on the back on a few dozen of them saying things like, "Catalog value $.10" or "Catalog value $.15." I have no idea of which catalog, and if this was the catalog value last year or 40 years ago. I'm not a dealer, and have limited knowledge of numismatics. My question to those of you who are experienced in this field is, is it usually worth the time and trouble to sort through batches of coins such as this to look for the odd gem, or am I better off just listing them on eBay by the pound?
