I'm new to the group, been collecting random coins for quite a while but really don't k ow a lot about values. I know the basics and want to learn more. As so I don't drive the group crazy posting pix and asking values, where is the best online resource for giving me coin values where I can look up by date, mint, denomination and get quick accurate answers about value. This is my first question and wondering is this an ok place to do that or no?

Good luck!
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
Welcome to the forum. Ebay results are a good quick way to find pretty accurate pricing.
@Mamievdavis
Welcome! I am fairly new here and continue learning from forum's members. Glance thru eBay listing to get some idea of pricing and value, make sure you filter your search for easy comparison. Have fun and try not to get too emotionally attach to any coin to start with
numismedia.com
It lists them all and should give an idea of value.
pcgs is for graded coins by them.
Definitely check it out.

Posting pix? What could possibly go wrong with that?
Welcome and good luck !!!
What @Coinstartled said.
Welcome! A Redbook will give a general idea of values. It’s not perfect, but it’s generally on the ballpark. It will certainly help you identify valuable key dates. As with all collectibles, condition is everything and learning how to grade takes a while (a lifetime really).
There are a lot of folks here that think they are coin experts. And I have found "some" are. Good luck!
Welcome.
Heritage archives are a good online source for pricing that has not already been mentioned.
The "redbook" is a good and inexpensive source for pricing and information, if you wanted something in book form.
@Mamievdavis...Welcome aboard.... I would recommend the Redbook as a good investment... also, the links posted above are excellent as well.... Feel free to ask questions, numismatics is a continuous learning hobby.... none of us 'know it all'...Cheers, RickO
Ebay.
PCGS Coin Facts, Online Price Guide published by CDN, Coin World, NN, Online price list L&C Coins. I also take NN as I love their dollar market price guide plus they have L&C adds I use as pricing reference. The NN coin market analyst has an excellent weekly unbiased column and tells it like it is.
In researching a Newp or purchase I refer to all of above. Once the coin arrives I attach an easily removable sticker with the cost and sell (MV) code on the back of the slab. Coins are listed in my online store. At a show if they don’t ask a price it tells me the people walking in the door don’t have any money. Sometimes these shows become buying shows. With the CDN app at a show I have Bluesheet, greysheet, and CPG (their MV priceguide) in my phone at my fingertips.
Now now...................everyone deserves a chance (but I do get it)

Why do you want the Internet? I'd buy a Red Book and study that. While the prices are not current, they relative, and there is a lot of historical and mintage information in there that might increase you interest in the hobby beyond prices.
