Re: Introducing my self
Best thing to do is get a Red book and start checking through what you have.
Or go to the PCGS guide online.
Keep in mind, those are retail prices

Re: Introducing my self
Word of caution to a newbie:
Te Red Book IS the de facto printed source for the coin hobby. But its main value lies in having a complete list of US coins, showing mintages for each, etc.
The prices in the book are what the coin is supposed to sell for, but the prices in the book are too high. They print the book the year before issue and have to have a guess as to what the coin will see for in the coming year.
Check eBay sold prices for probably the best idea of actual market value that you could get by selling a coin.

Re: Introducing my self
I on the other hand , like the Redbook . Especially good for amateur collectors. When I was a kid, that's about all we had besides the Bluebook.
