HELLO! Just JOINED CC! A couple ?`s... WHILE TREASURE HUNTING (in residential trash) I FOUND an old rusty tool box with a padlock... after removing the lids` hinge rod, (my very smart son suggested), I find 100`s of US coins, mostly Lincoln Memorials, but think I may be in luck 50_1969 S & D, more 1970 & 1960 and strangely alot of 1980? 4 wheats pre 60, stragglers after 80 pretty much and a few pre 1960, some 71(2) 73(5) 74(3) 76(1) JFK Halves , dimes, just 5 quarters, abt 30 nickels, maybe 50 dimes. Any ADVICE on how to go about finding dd, errors, and such? ANY ADVICE would be much appreciated. THANK YOU! |

It sounds like a nice hoard, although the majority of the coins you mention will probably be spenders.

This is a good question to post in the 'US Modern Error & Variety' forum. I'll just go ahead and say that the wheats (assuming they are common dates from the 50s) are probably worth about 2-3 cents each, and copper memorials (1959-82) are usually worth face unless you want to save them for the copper content. Dimes, quarters and halves struck 1964 or earlier are 90% silver, while 1965-70 halves are 40%. Jefferson nickels struck from mid-1942 to 1945 are 35% silver (look for a large mintmark on the reverse), while most others are worth face. There are some key dates in each series, so I'd suggest looking for those, particularly in the nickels (1938 & 39 D & S, 1950-D and others). You should, of course, save silver if you find any. All in all, the vast majority of these coins will probably be spenders, like moxking said. |

THANK YOU TANMAN2001 and Debrajc and for the Welcomes jack j n j! Moxking and Numismas advice! So far I've found a 1975 D Nickel in EXCELLENT SHINY CONDITION with OMM x3! ALSO I THINK A 1972 DDR Lincoln Memorial cent And a 1973 Kennedy half that's off centre... Have it all, separated by dates now. Any specific big finds to look for just learning acronyms is a challenge! Lol AND what is best fastest way to identify Double Dies? Advice for time saving tips? THANKS ALL! |
