i always separate potentially valuable coins from the rest. I literally carry two coin purses, one for any coins of value and one for the rest.
a have a shelf containing yankee candle jars, one for all wheat pennies, one for any silver, and a couple more for various older coins like indian head pennies, liberty nickels, i even had a few double eagle pennies long ago, but my ex's kids raided my coins for cig money and my ex made me sell the rest.
