Thanks for the info! Maybe I'll start sorting them...one jar at a time, and see if I can get them into something better than mason jars.

You bet.

When you sort and roll, try to keep 'type' coins separated and then mark the rolls. Ex: Keep Lincoln wheat pennies in separate rolls from Indian head pennies, etc. At least that way, when you get time to go thru them to see what you have, it's easier to check the value of the coins.

Oh, and you'll have to learn how to 'grade' coins. That is the hardest thing to do objectively, and takes a good eye. (It's ALSO the number one way you can be hoodwinked by a shady coin dealer when he offers to buy your coins. He'll downgrade them. When those shady folks sell them, they UPgrade them too to get more $$$ ! I learned the hard way to watch out for those jerks!)
