What Coins Should I Be Keeping?

[3rictheman]

I am new to coin roll hunting and I have had a couple good finds, but I was wondering what coins would be worth keeping. I know to keep wheat pennies, silver coins, etc. but I have also been keeping any coins I find from the 1960s. Is keeping these coins worth it, or will they not be increasing in value?

I don't think there is any reason to keep non-silver coins from the 1960's. (Other than copper cents, but the ones from the 60's aren't worth any more than any other pre-1982 cent). It might go up in value some day, but they are so plentiful that it would just be a waste of resources to be hoarding them now. Unless you have tens of thousands of dollars to play with, I guess.

I was referenced to the beginner guide when I started, so here you go. It is always available under the stickies in the main CRH page.

If you are an iPhone user, I recommend the coin book pro ap. it helped me learn about all the historical coins and values, and is a very handy quick reference.
