There are many people here that know about coins.
Reksplace knows alot! Go into Forum Items wanted.
You will find him there. He is looking for coins before 1965.
He is very knowledgeable.

Contact me. If you have good clear scans/photos it would be very helpful. If not, a detailed description will give a start. One way or the other though, whomever you take advice from should see the items in hand as it will be impossible to put a reasonable value otherwise.
The truth is, the chances of your items being of great value are quite slim but stranger occurences have happened.
Sincerely,
Mike Raley

Hey there CPJ,
I would help you ID your coins! I’d love doing it…keeps me off the streets at night, etc…But, like someone else said, ‘We would need a lot more detail to tell you what is what’. For instance, what type of metal is it made from [bronze, nickle, silver and gold], the denomination [value;1/2, 1, 2, 3 [that’s right, we had 3 cent coins—2 of them BTW], 10, 20 [another hard to find and scarce coin] 25, 50 and 100 cent coins [or, silver OR gold coins]. Also, in gold [which I hope you have!]—the $1, $2 1/2, $3 [yup, it’s true!],$4 [the Stella, one of THE rarest of all our coins!], $5, $10, and $20 denominations. So, geez—now you have me all excited about your coin find! So, yes—please do let us know! I get several, up-to-date publications on numismatics and values—so, I could also give you a pretty accurate clue on prices you could expect—should you still want to sell them off.
eagerly & anxious,
