Hello everyone

I had come across a bag full of old coins ranging from the 1800's up to the SBA dollars, just about all of it is US currency and a few others things like the old Phila and NY transit coins that are about a little less then a centimeter in diameter. I also have a Xavier High School in NYC lunch coin said to be 5 cents at the time. Where can i find information regarding the value of this and these other coins i have. SOme of them are in the best condition and others are a little worn. Also where can i find info on coins from other countries like cuba, dom Rep, costa rica, france, China, holland, ect? All of these coins are ranging from the 1800's to the 1930 just about and most are in good condition.

I hope someone can help me!

For U.S. coins, get a copy of the Red Book (A Guidebook of United States Coins) by R.S. Yeoman for retail values; wholesale, the Blue Book (Handbook of United States Coins) by the same author. Any coin shop and most bookstores and libraries will have copies. For grading, try Photograde by James F. Ruddy.

For foreign coins, use Krause & Mishler's Standard Catalog of World Coins. There are four volumes, covering the 17th through the 20th centuries. Most places that have the Red Book and Blue Book will also have these, or can get them for you.

A good general guide to tokens is Tokens and Medals by Alpert & Elman. Some stores that stock the coin books will have this one, too.

I think most or all of the above can also be ordered from BookMart at http://www.treasurenet.com/westeast/. Look for the link on the left side of the page.

Transportation tokens: The Atwood-Coffee Catalogue of United States and Canadian Transportation Tokens by John M. Coffee, Jr. Expensive and less easy to find. Unless you're really serious about this area of collecting, you probably don't need them. However, you should be able to find copies via addall.com or bookfinder.com

Thansk a lot i will have to stop by barnes & nobles and see what they have then stop i a better spot if i can't find it there. I'm hoping that i will get a good value or idea of value with these books

You could also do an EBay search in Completed items and see what they are selling for on there.
