Doing some research helps you figure out if the coins you have come across are actually value. Keep in mind that silver and gold coins are often more valuable than their face value, especially if they are older coins.
Check out the condition of a coin before you start to search for its value to make sure it is in good shape. Look through a coin blue book to get a good idea about how similar coins are valued and take the piece into a reputable coin dealer for more information.
