[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 25667011, member: 36248"]Well, certainly if you have a "junk" silver, pull those aside from the rest of the bulk to start. Meaning, 1964 and earlier Roosevelt dimes, Washington Quarters, Kennedy Halves (65-70) as well. That's where I would start. You want to start separating the wheat from the chaff. The wheat pennies are just not as valuable as people think, maybe 2-5c each assuming there is nothing special about them. But some collectors and some dealers might be interested. I would search everything yourself to see if there is any keys hidden in your bulk, assuming you might find this hunt fun. Maybe purchasing a copy of these books would be helpful to you?
