Hi every one, I just love this site, and welcome every one. I have another 2 coins that I would like an expert option on. This 1925 Penny and 1946 Penny came from my album that my mother purchased for me 21 years ago, I was wondering what peoples thoughts were of there condition and value, this would help me heaps for my house insurance ;-) Any help would be great ;-)     Edited by pubbrad

Both coins look quite OK to me, but
I have never seen a lump of metal like that before, in front of the date, on the '46.

Thank you for reply Sel_691, I have always thought that lump of metal in front of the date of the 1946 was just a slight dint?

1925 looks aVF to my eyes. Might be worth $100-130.
1946 looks a similar grade and probably worth $50-70.

If you were to take a photo of the crown on the 1925 penny at a bit of an angle it might show the band more easily. Having just had a second look the coin might be slightly better than I first thought.

For insurance purposes i'd be going with retail prices/catalogue value $425 for the 25.
$165 for the 46.

Both good looking coins- It is nice to have two of the harder dates to build around. Mums are the best.!!  |

Would agree with enworb about valuation but it raises the question of what do you go with - the going rate or the "book value"?

I think its unlikely that an insurance company will pay out on things like coins without a reputable valuation anyway.

Yeah thats right Enworb,you do have to have them professionally evaluated or thats what the insurance companies & banks I spoke to about it said.
