new to this forum & collecting. Going thru mom's collection, 500+ pennies & nickles, 1899-1960s mostly. ALL are errors of some sort-double dates,filled, double die, die cracks, cuds,'frostys' - I am overwhelmed. Is there even a market for this type of collection? Is it worth going through each one & trying to sell on ebay? I've gotten a red book, but it doesn't appear to be geared towards FIDOs.
Where to begin? (P.S. I fear I might be addicted!)
any guidance much appreciated.

First i would look for any key dates or errors. Thats all i know to do except.....DO NOT CLEAN THEM
 

Coins with a frosty look aren't errors. They are probably proofs. Break down what you have by date and show some photos if possible.

You might try looking at this site. Lincolncentresource.com it has a lot of info on errors & also has some pirce guides.
