If it was a cupronickel planchet, the "P" mintmark would be to the right of Monticello.

My grandson asked me to inventory a coin collection which he was given by his alternate grandfather.

When I started in on the pennies I found that they all seem to have been covered with a shiny substance.

Is this something that other collectors do to pennies?
How does it affect the value of the coins?
Should I give them an Acetone soak to remove the substance (with my grandson's approval)?
Thanks, Team

Numista.com Coin Values . Are They Usually Undervalued?

I just took a look at NumisMedia and checked out the values listed for the West Point Quarters (2019-2020)

Unless they were graded above MS60, they were all valued at under a dollar each.

Surely, this cannot be accurate.

Comments?

I am currently trying to sell off my coins piecemeal and have been (mostly) charging the prices listed on Numista.com.

Can you knowledgeable members give me your opinions on how the Numista values compare to "real world" values.

Thank you in advance.

My goal is to sell off as much of my collection as I can.

My failing eyesight has made it difficult to recognize/enjoy my coins.

My collection is listed as ewen0hu in Numista if anyone would like to see my list.

With everything going on with this coin, I am definitely puzzled. There are letters, numbers, stars, birds ect all over this entire coin


I believe our OP friend is speaking tongue-in-cheek.

Or, maybe he is in to collecting blank planchets.

Perhaps it is the seller who under graded HIS coin.
