Some collectors will wrap all of the same year and mint mark while others will wrap various years but same mint mark. to learn more about coin collecting and grading find a coin club in your area. the members are usually pretty good about helping novices.

thx... some of the coins are categorized, but most are just wrapped in coin wrappers...Off the bat I don't really see anything rare, like Indian head pennies, but you never know. Of course I have no idea what I'm looking at either. thx for your comments and help. I'll let you know how it works out.

Got the appraisal, got the cash. The local company has been in business for 32 years, same location and they checked out on th BBB, so I went for it. I'm happy, at least I can put the money to good use which is what my Dad would have wanted. In a away I felt like it was a piece of his memory that I sold.

I believe there's a 2014 book of coin values you can get on Amazon. I don't know if that will help.

You can buy a coin pricing guide. It should put you in the ball park for values of the coins you have.
