Advice is appreciated

I have a small silver colection. I started it as a whim. I would appreciate any advice from anyone. One item I have is the Lewis and Clark 2 nickel, 1 medal and 1 Sac dollar. They are all in ogp. No one can tell me if there is any value to this set.
I can buy a lot fast but I can learn faster with help from people who started just like me. I am an open book.

    If I were you I'd list the L&C nickel/medal/Sac. set on eBay and you'll get about $45-$50 for it.

    Next year you might get the $19.99 you paid for it.

    But, collect what you like - just don't spend too much money on any raw coins.

    And speaking of books, do you have a Redbook? Start with that (ignore the prices) but it is your first line of reference.

    Welcome and have fun!

    I recommend this book---you can read it online:

    http://www.coingrading.com/

    it will help you to grade uncirculated coins. Help with a link would be appreciated cuz I am a computer spazz.

    Yes, it may quite likely always be worth 5 cents.

    Welcome aboard.

    Sell some coins from time to time so you know what they are really worth.

    Try to go a little easy on buying brand new coins. There's nothing wrong
    with these and if you enjoy them them then there's nothing wrong with buy-
    ing them but remember that these often go down when they get a few years
    old.

    Have fun.
