Anyone collect coins here???

I have some error coins and bills, here is a known error bill a 1957 Silver certificate with different serial numbers, I've been collecting a long time
If you'd prefer I start my own thread, just let me know, but I got a cigar box with a bunch of coins in it from my dad about 12 or so years ago. He's always been the collector type. Me, not so much. Bottles are his thing now. Anyway, I'm just curious to know if there's anything here that's really worth anything over face value. Not necessarily looking to dump it, but would also like to get a general idea if there's anything special. Or, is this pretty much just about $150 in some odd-ball currency? The Silver Eagle is the one thing that I think may have a little more value and also has sentimental value for me as it was a gift from a mentor when I earned Eagle Scout in 2001.
Some are face value but check out the gold dollars. Some of those were called "Cheerio dollars" and can be worth a good bit of money, if there is the error on them.. I think it's the 2000 date.. look it up on Google & check it out.. tons of info there. Plus us collectors here online.. they put the Sacagawea dollar coin in the box of cheerios but some had an error that made them more than just a dollar.. also, the Indian heads & wheat pennies.. there the condition & key dates. Especially if you have one of those highly sought after v.d.b pennies.If you'd prefer I start my own thread, just let me know, but I got a cigar box with a bunch of coins in it from my dad about 12 or so years ago.

Kinda like buying a good book to research items before spening big money. If you are buying bullion or coins, you need a good toolkit. Might cost $1000 or so, but will pay for itself if you avoid making one mistake.
1. Sigma Metalytics PMV. Around $1000
2. Small electronic scale. Around $5
3. Caliper. Around $15
4. Pocket pinger. Around $10
5. Magnet. Around $1
6. Redbook. Around $20

, not trying to hijack your thread brother but I was rolling change today out of my daughter’s piggy bank for her and came across a 1946 nickel with no mint mark. Found some online that’ve gone for upwards of $1500. Where would I sell something like that? eBay I know but any reputable shops that would make a deal on it for her?
On eBay, you can ask any price you'd like Man. It's kinda a name your own price and if someone is willing to pay that price for it they will.. I'll DM you real quick.
Appreciate it brother.
