I'd be interested to see the dates of the dimes if you have the time to post that.

I am on the road right now, when I get home I can get the dates for you! Just took a quick glance at them, was mostly 30s an 40s iirc! Some earlier ones. He has a bit more he kept, mostly old pennies and nickles. (Old as in 1870-90)

widdler, when you get a chance, a complete list would be cool. You might have some other valuable coins in there. As stated, that CC is worth 100+ bucks as an AG3 coin. You can try soaking the Peace dollar in acetone to remove that stain. A very nice start to a collection! |

Ok, I have looked through the dimes (There is an Indian Head penny in there as well as a Buffalo nickel) Dates are: 1x 1923, 1x 1928, 1x 1936, 2x 1939, 2x 1940, 4x 1942, 6x 1943, 2x 1944, 3x 1945. The penny is a 1896, and the nickel is 1837. Picture as well, though I am only showing the top ones of the duplicates-if you want to hear anything more about any specific ones just ask.  |

So I went to a coin/pawn shop (I should have known it would be trouble because the guy didn't even know what a " Morgan dollar" was yet he was running/owned a coin ship) And he said that the 1893 CC was worth nothing more then scrap and I was lying to him about it being rare. Sooo I guess I will never frequent that place again. He offered me 15$ for it, which is well below melt price even (I did not even say I was going to sell he just offered) I am pretty sure he was just trying to scam me so he could resell it, I told him so and bid him good day. I did not even take the dimes out of my car. Sad story :( |

Have a look at your 1942 Mercs for a 2/1 overdate. It will be very plain to see if you have one; the mispunched 1 is as strong as the 2. |

No luck on the '42s! Oh well :P I am probably going to sell the dimes, but keep the morgans and the penny just because I like the looks. Along with the Ike's.

I know that yesterday, my go to place would have offered $20 for common Morgans, selling them at $30 or $33.

I just love how places offer melt or less for a classic coin over 100 years old. Unless it is in really bad shape, it is ridiculous to me.

I'm assuming the penny was nothing special either? Other then sentimental value of course :P

Widdler, The penny is not a bad date ( IHC are very popular!), but it's also a relatively common one. However, this is easily one of the most beautiful of American coins, and I urge you to hold onto it. |
