I did this a few years ago on a cold, snowy weekend. I had a lot of singles and those "Blue Coin Books" from when I was a kid...dozens of them from pennies to Morgan Silver dollars. My parents, father especially, was a minor collector. The collection filled a book box and was sitting in a closet.
I started with similar websites and walked through each coin and coin book...nothing of spectacular value but on the whole worth a lot more than I thought.
I created an excel spreadsheet and kept track of the websites I used.
A women I flew with was a numismatic and gave me great advice: Whatever you think the condition of the coin is, unless the coin is wrapped and graded already, lower the condition significantly. That way you won't be disappointed with the value.
I may revisit this winter and join the site posted above.
