Question
Ok, let's just cut to the chase, I "inherited" a sack full of coins, and I have no clue as to what to do with them!
I found one that would be of interest, which was a 1893 World's Columbian Exposition coin, and on the back was a profile of a man, with the word, "Cleveland" on it.
I'll try to get more descriptions on the others, waiting for your reply.

Hi Katelyn,
The Columbian Expo coin has Columbus on it. There is a Cleveland Commem, but it does not have the globes as does the Columbian Expo Half Dollar.
Get a copy of the Guidebook to US Coins by Yeoman.
This will give you the retail values of teh coins.
