Can Anyone Tell Me If Any Of These Coins Worth Anything

Thank you very much. I will work on going through these coins one by one again, think I need to give my eyes a break for awhile. lol. I ended up with 100 dollors in just quarters to go through. I did discover that a lot of the older ones 1965 and up do not have a mint area so not sure who made them.
Experimental Strikes
There are approximately 15 known 1999 State Quarters struck on Experimental Planchets. All five states in the 1999 series (DE, PA, CT, GA and NJ) have been discovered. These Experimental State Quarters have sold for as high as $10,000 each, depending on which state, the coin's condition and which type of experimental composition was used. There are four known types of experimental compositions which have been discovered so far on 1999 State Quarters.

Amy, the information that Rick gave you on the so called 'experimental' coins being from Philadelphia explains your classification as experimental. I would also like to add that at times I would have to agree with you and say that a lot of the Philadelphia coins do look as if they were 'experimental' in nature. Some fairly poor work comes out of that mint, at times.

Thanks for all the info. I will look into getting this book also. I'm sorry about all the questions I really dont know much about any of this yet.

Don't let your eyes get too big looking at those PCGS prices. If your coins aren't slabbed in PCGS holders, they are way high. And if they are PCGS slabbed, they may still be way high....

I really like collecting coins but however right now I'm trying to find away to get money out of any of the ones I have that are worth anything if I have any worth anything. I know thats a sad way to put it but when your a single mom in the middle of loosing everything its easier to sell any that I find. Atleast intil we get things back to normal around here.. lol. I want to say thank you to each person that has given me any input. Hopefully out of all these coins I will have the one I need. Maybe all these 1979 Susan B Anothy will be worth more in the years to come.. lol..

Sorry to hear of the need to sell off your coins. I have never been a single mom so I can't say I know how it feels. However, right now I am going through a similar financial crunch and do know how that feels and it isn't fun.

I can give you some information on the Susan B.'s. However from your pics I didn't see any that were in the grades that in this list. They would need to be in Proof or at least Mint State.

1979P has a Wide Rim (Near Date) variety and is worth approximately $20 in MS-63 condition.

1979S (which is a Proof coin not meant for circulation) there is what they call a Clear S in proof condition for $125.

1981S (also a Proof coin) there is also a Clear S version in proof condition for $250.

Of the Sacagawea golden dollars the only ones that are worth any money are the Proofs.

As far as the Quarters go, unless they are 1964 or earlier they are pretty much worth 25¢.

The cents are a different story and you would need very detailed close-ups of these. There are people who will pay premiums for all types of varieties but it takes a lot of work to find them.

I don't want to discourage you but only give you the facts so you can make an informed decision. My opinion, and this is only my opinion, if you have close to $100 worth as stated and you really need the cash then roll them up and take them to the bank and put it in your checking account.

The cents I would hold on to at the moment for further review.

As for the $5.oo bills I do not know anything about currency and others would need more detail as to why you think these may be worth more than just $5.

Hi Amy,
Sorry to hear of your financial troubles right now. Welcome to the forums!
I think you mentioned having "older" quarters, dated pre-1965. If this is the case, then all of the quarters dated from 1964 and back are 90% silver. My dealer is paying around 8x face value right now, and I think that's about average. So each of your quarters would be worth around $2.

To sell those quarters, you'll need to find a local dealer and sell them to him/her. Your best bet is to get the phone book and look up "coin dealers" and call each of them. Ask them what they're paying for "junk silver". You'll know immediately if they're ripping you off if they offer you less than around 5-6 times face value. Shop around for the best deal. The same thing goes for pre-1965 dimes (excluding 1965).

Since you said that the pictures were only some of your coins, I'll tell you about what coins to look for in the other denominations. For nickels, look for a 1950-d and 1939-d.

If you've got any questions, feel free to ask. We love helping people out over here on Coin Community!

Hope things work out for you!
