Also, a query...
...If, during your research, you turn up some good intarweb sites that talk about the value of coins and stuff, I would appreciate if you could send them along. My parents recently moved from NJ to NC, and in their move, I got all of Dad's old coins. Going through them one day, I found some foreign coins, and I have no idea what their value is.
For instance, one of the coins I found was a Five Reichsmark coin dated 1935, with the Third Reich Eagle holding a swastika. My grandfather must have brought this back from Germany during WWII. I figured that might be one of the most expensive pieces in the entire collection, despite the fact that it didn't look to be in such hot condition. Then I looked on eBay. Average price for other Reichsmark coins of the same vintage? US$3.00.
Talk about disappointment.
