Old Coins and Such

We were talking about ways to make money in clinic Tuesday. It ended up on old coins and such. I have a slew of $2.00 bills, Susan B Anthony dollars and some old pennies with the One Cent written on the back. Now in 1943 they were using the copper for the war so the pennies were to be made in silver and covered in zinc but there happened to be about 40 known now to be struck in copper which are very expensive. now on some of the Susan B Anthony coins that were struck within the past few years happens to have the writing on the side of the coin upside down which people are interested in too. So maybe now I need to look into some of the coins that I have and see if any of them are worth anything.

Now on the other side of this I have a tin of baseball cards that I could care less about that I had gotten when I was a kid. I’m almost positive I have a full team set of one of them but I’d have to check again. I could get rid of those without any sort of hesitation.

Now my only question is, where would one go to see about all of this? I don’t think there is any coin collecting places and/or baseball collecting places around here. Antiques roadshow wouldn’t be a good choice either except maybe for the coins.
