[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 290598, member: 8247"]I'll second that. My recommendation is to get a redbook from the library. Doesn't have to be current as your purpose is to 1: learn about the coins and 2: to get an idea if any of the coins you have stand out in value. While an out of date redbook won't give you current values (even a current book becomes out of date quickly), you will be able to see which ones are valuable by looking at the value listed relative to the other coins of similar date/mintmark. When you start going through this collection and you come across something that stumps you, feel free to start a thread specific to that coin. Starting a thread to tries to address the entire collection or entire swaths of coins will get you general advice and not help you as much with learning about the specific coins. Good Luck and welcome to the hobby.[/QUOTE]
