A) 1945 Nickel P mint-- I dont know if it is where and tear or something else? On the color? This is a "Wartime Alloy variety 1942-1945" and has 35% silver content. These nickels tend to tone differently than other nickels because they are made with different metals.B) 1940 Nickel no mintIn another 34 years this coin will be 100 years old! or you could spend it now as 5 cents. 176,499,158 of them were made, so it's not rare and it's not in great condition.C) Buffalo nickel. No Date. no mint. Edges smooth and the top half of words cut off. Maybe some die errors? Wear and tear on the Buffalo designs wore the dates away quickly. Therefore there are lots of different years all with not date readable. Most collectors like a date on the coin that they can read. As the coin wears the edge lettering gets worn away also. So this is not an error but a coin with some real history. It's been through many hands. D) 1948 Nickle. No Mint- There are alot of streaks going thru the reverse on the Monticello. The streaks look to me like scratches that would of occured after the coin was minted and not part of the origional design or die flaw.E)1942 Washington quarter. no mint. On Both the Obverse and reverse the letters are cut of. On the Obverse The top half of LIBERTY ARE MISSING. These three quarters are 90% silver so they have more value as Silver bullion than as collectable quarters.F) 1957 Washington quarter.No MInt. Kind of redish Color G) 1944 Washington quarter. no mint. oN reverse QUARTER DOLLAR is almost no distingushible. H)1984 penny This coin looks to have a nice tone and is a nice condition, But 8 billion of these were made so it's still worth one cent.***J) I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS! The obverse says" LUCKY TILLICUM" I think The portrait is of Roosevelt? On the bottom is says " REBUILD WITH ROOSEVELT" On the reverse It is vvery gold looking. There is a picture of the United States. THE COIN IS FROM 1933. The top says "PROSPERITY" The bottom says : FOLLOW THE ROOSEVELT TRAIL" ANY IDEAS ON WHAT THISIS!!!!!! This is the "Pick of the bunch". Although it's not a coin, it is a very interesting piece.K) Roosevelt dime. 1956. This coin is very hard to read. It is like a red and black color on both sides? Maybe some sort of error? The coin is 90% silver. So it's worth more than 10 cents.L) 1945 Mercury dime. Beautiful. Very sparkely[:p] "very sparkely" indeed. A better photo of it would help grade this 90% silver coin. It could be in very fine condition or extremely fine condition. That would give it a value of about $1.50 or so.M) 1944 Mercury dime. Looks like a die crack on the top of the obverse? Redish color A mark like that is called a ding, it has happened after the minting process. Silver Bullion.N) 1940 Roosevelt dime. Redish Tint with a streak on the reverse I think that's a 1946. They didn't make the Roosevely dime until 1946 ..Silver bullion. P) 1951 BENJAMIN Franklin half dollar. Again the silver content gives this coin it's miminal value. But it may be worth a bit more than that as it's not badly worn. My guess is the best you could hope for is about $4 or so.AND THE REST ARE WHEAT PENNIES!! Looks like 2x 1929 1940, 2x 1941, 1942. The better looking 1929 (coin P) might be worth 20 cents if you could find a buyer. While the others would be worth a few cents each as wheat pennies.I REALLY NEED ALL OF YOUR OPINIONS ON THESE COINS> I APPRECIATE ANY HELP I CAN GET> PLEASE READ THE WHOLE THING AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! They may not be worth much but they are a good start to a collection. Definitely find out more about the Roosevelt medalion before you let it out of your hands.

I have a collection of about 200 Presidential campaign buttons, pins and tokens. I have one similar to yours, and I recall paying something like $3 for it.

Laxmaster, please correct me if I'm wrong. The coins that Laxmaster has been showing us in the various posts are his starting collection and he/she now wants to look at upgrading and getting into the more collectable coins. Unfortunately, selling off your starter collection is not going to provide the funds you need for what you're now looking for. Please watch for our contests as there are often very nice coins offered as prizes. I'll also see what I can find for you that are inexpensive but collectable.

I think the first few posts were ebay auctions they were thinking about bidding on and wanted our opinion on their worth so they wouldnt get ripped off, atleast that is the picture I was getting is that they were using us as someway to get a value of specific coins they saw on ebay and didnt want to pay to much for the specific auctions. If I am wrong please correct me but that was the impression I had gotten from their first few posts except this one which they state are theirs already

THanks fpr all the info guys. Those first few pictures were ebay auctions. As I said in many of my posts I JUST STARTING COIN COLLECTING! Thank for the run down on all the coins Toast. SCOUTJIM, the mark next to the effigy is C in a circle. The mint mark on the 1945 Mercury is 1945. I know all you think this little collection is stuff but hey, its my first collection of older coins and right now I dont have the funds to buy and expensive coins. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA ON THE ROOSEVELT COIN DO TELL> Thanks for all the info!

Okay the c in a circle is mostlikely a copyright and minted by a private company maybe Whitehead and Hoag maybe franklin mint you can try on of those you can give us the weight and size if you can that might give us an idea on composition but I still think its campaign medal or token

Scoutjim, this is what I found on the token.
1933 LUCKY TILLICUM GOOD LUCK TOKEN FOR FDR INAUGURATION. Cat. Val. is 22.00. Issued for the inauguration of President Franklin Roosevelt, 1933. Around, LUCKY TILLICUM - REBUILD WITH ROOSEVELT, enclosing bust of Roosevelt. Type: coin/medal/token. Size: 33mm. The hopes of the nation, badly shaken by the worsening depression, rested with Roosevelt as he assumed the Presidency. Many saw their fortunes tied with his, and carried charms such as this one, both to express support and manifest the desire that luck would follow their leader into the White House. (Tillicum is Chinook for "fellow.").
