Some Old Coins I Have.

yes they look cleaned and that Half Cent looks too good (if real) to be in a 2x2

The 1836 Half Cent and the 1873 Two Cent are proof only issues and are worth thousands of dollars each if genuine. If you could post clear close ups the coins in particular those two, some of the more knowledgeable members in these series can render an opinion on authenticity. If there is no signs of being a fake, these should be sent to a TPG like PCGS or NGC to be certified in order to maximize the sale price. The $2.5 has about $190 worth of gold at today's prices but these usually sell at a premium so I would guess it would be worth around $250ish maybe a little bit more if not a problem coin.

Those particular coins need to be slabbed by a TPG.

@ Conder,

what makes you say that, with just the pics I posted.

I really would like to know, either way, I will be sending them in to have them checked out, and graded.

When did I say they was found in great grandpa's cigar box, I never said how, or where I got them, so why put words in my mouth, that's kinda rude, don't you think ?

very true



and when you get them graded --if they are fake they come back in a plastic bag.

What I'm saying is that these aren't typical coins that non collectors typically have. Having three less common is unusual. Typically no collectors will have things like Morgan or Peace dollars, wheat cents, Buffalo nickels and maybe a gold coin here or there. To have three less common coins in mint state seems highly unusual unless you are a collector.

I beleive the Half Cent and the Two Cent are fake but the half eagle looks real. I cant tell very good though from the pics though
