if you post the coin and the date e.g. 1926 Half Penny

a pic is useful(for valueation) but not neccesary if they are in bad condition

oh and as you are new

blackened copper is not worth less

If you can, take a picture of the three best of the oldest ones and post them here with an estimate of how many coins we're looking at. That will give us an idea of how worn they are and what sort of collection it is.

I should perhaps warn you that my Dad picked up nice examples from change. Many people did. None of them were worth much. But then there are those that actually buy coins for a collection, in which case, they may be worth more. Or you can strike lucky with a scarce date.

Whatever you do, don't clean them! And if they are particularly shiny, best hold them by the edges to avoid marking them.
