I have seen a lot of questions on here concerning coin and paper money value. A search of PCGS coin values will give you the current values according to grade. Or with paper money, just search it. I'm not sure if PCGS deals in paper.
Or you can go to eBay and get last years Red Book (coins) at a discount. Sure it will not be current to the year, but values don't change too much in a years time. But I understand that most people find something old and are just asking out of curiosity and possible excitement. Unless you happened onto something really special, most of this old stuff is common. Like the person who wanted to know the value of a 1919 Lincoln cent. If I owed $71.51 at the grocery store, I would put in a 1919 penny just to get two quarters back. However, I understand how most people just simply don't know values. I think everyone has a little drawer filled with these old coins. Even if there is no actual value, it's a very neat thing to have. And you never know, you could have a treasure.
