thank you both for the information and the fast response.
 

oh get a "red book" on coins --it will help you a lot with getting to know us coins and their values
 

Chris, another excellent site for U.S. coins is http://www.coinfacts.com/. If you visit this site you will get a message at the top of your screen that the site is no longer updated. Give it a few seconds for the old site to come up, the information is invaluable and is still accurate and relevent. They will try to get you to link to a new site that will charge for the info but I have not signed up for that.
