Another FINAL question untill the next one!!!

[oldranger]

Ok follks the coins are cleaned and now its sorting time.
I know most are just current face value stuff in all
denominations, but is there anything i might look for while
sorting them and cking dates etc? I DO know what a wheat penny is
even tho they are just a penny that may be worth 3-4 cents at best.

Im not planning to retire on any one find but part of
the fun of THing is finding out that you have a few
items that are valuable or at least not just another
coin, token etc.

As always any info is much appreciated .Some day
maybe Ill be giving tips to a newbie.

Till then Happy Hunting

Best Thing to do is go to the book store and get a book on coins. Some of the new stuff is worth more than face value, and you can look up any coin you find as some as you get back home

Buy a Red Book (A Guide Book of US Coins) for about 15 bucks. Every treasure hunter must have one. It might lead you to coin collecting as a hobby which is as fun as metal detecting in my book.

A few wheats are worth some bucks like the double-die 1955. If you could find a 1943 copper penny they are worth about $1.5 million. Pick up a copy of Coin Price Guide at your local news stand.
