Hi and welcome. I'm afraid that the value of a coin is very much based on what condition it is in. Collectors generally look for coins with the least signs of wear or damage possible and so that largely determines price.
So without seeing photos of your coins all that can be said is that they are worth at least the value of the metal they are made from.
And while you might ask, well, how much is that, two coins I can't identify. I would need to know the denomination of the Edward III (penny? half groat? groat?) before even thinking about the variety, some of which are rarer and so worth much more than others. And the Roma 1101, I don't know what this is.
Sorry if that doesn't sound helpful. But it's a bit like asking what is the value of a BMW? Well, that would depend on whether it's new, has driven 20,000 miles, has been in a crash, or is a car or motorbike, no?

Hello and welcome. I hate to have to tell you this, but if you actually have these coins, then several of your coins are fakes. The "1933 double eagle" is a famously rare coin. Only two genuine ones are known to exist. Likewise, the 1804 dollar is extremely rare, and famously so. Only 15 of these coins exist. Your "1975 flowing hair" is, I assume, meant to be "1795" and a silver dollar. This is likewise extremely rare and valuable, though not quite so much as the first two. The 1913 Liberty nickel is, likewise, extremely rare - only five are known. If you are asking theoretical value if one were to (theoretically) own such coins, then the answer for these four coins is "many millions of dollars". I'm afraid we don't have enough information on the other three coins to offer any kind of estimate of value. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

LOL Shows how much I know! I didn't recognise any of them as rare!
Of course, if you do have any of these coins BaryaLang ... pics please!

Most likely scrap metal price. Chances of them being counterfeits are extremely high given the rarities of them. Pics will definitely help. Just don't get disappointed.

This could mean you just want to know the values of such coins. However, it you did really have those, as already noted, a good chance they are counterfeited ones. There are many web sites with approximate coin values though. Some people use those and some use papers such as sthe grey sheet. Some use the famouse Red Book by Whitman Publishing but those prices are excesssive. |

Thank you all for your responses!
Atleast now I'll lessen my expectations. Though I'm quite excited whether the coins are real.
I'll post pictures once my granny handed the coins to me.
Cheers!

Unless Granny is a millionaire, they are not real.
