Archie New Member Canada 19 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 4:16 pm Yep I did use a magnet to try and tell which one of my coins was silver thats the first thing I did before but thats Boring imho So from now On I let the coins "ching away" because the sound Is so cool... and aweber77 you got a great deal of 25 cents each for all them coins , I mean the metal value in them today is much higher then just 25 cents ... Great steal PS- Am I the only one getting mad at all the "anti-penny" news as of late ? LOL!! I mean I understand that the cost to make the penny is more then its actual worth ,but can they figure something out? I mean pennies are great for so many things besides just spending and I would hate to see the end of No more pennies I admit I was anti-penny at one time when I was a Teen But today it would hurt me to see the end of the Penny..

aweber77 Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 4:22 pm Yeah, I thought it was an awesome value even though they don't seem like they would contain much silver. I think its like 2.2 grams of .925 silver. Its also great news to hear that the 5 cents is worth something. I got that for $1... Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 6:10 pm karrlot, I got the picture from the 2008 Charlton 62nd edition. and yes I think it is portrait 2 I think KurtS is right it looks like F-12 to me too. Pretty nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
karrlot Pillar of the Community United States 535 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 7:18 pm Great - thanks! That's wierd mine doesn't even list it as a variety. I only have a 2001 edition, though. Report this Post to the Staff
aweber77 Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 8:28 pm So, how much is my 5 cent worth in F-12? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 8:39 pm Aweber77, since we suspect it's the F2 variety, it could retail at around $100. Report this Post to the Staff
Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1472 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 9:26 pm Your 1880 is a Obverse 3. I have a better explanation and photos on my website. https://www.ashrap.com Report this Post to the Staff
aweber77 Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 04/03/2008 11:06 pm Zonad, I just checked your website and the 1880 H wasn't there, could you provide a specific link to it? Report this Post to the Staff
Zonad Pillar of the Community Canada 1472 Posts	Posted 04/04/2008 08:25 am The 1880 Obverse types are here. http://ashrap.com/page13.html Report this Post to the Staff
aweber77 Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 04/04/2008 11:51 am I think I understand it now, so if its obverse 3, what is it worth in F-12? Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 04/04/2008 12:59 pm Ah well...glad someone with expertise could share Aweber, the obverse 3 retails around $50 in F12. Report this Post to the Staff
aweber77 Valued Member United States 126 Posts	Posted 04/04/2008 1:09 pm Hey, thats not too bad considering I got it for a cheap price Report this Post to the Staff
snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 04/04/2008 3:18 pm your 1913 10 cent could be a variety.. tehres 2 different kinds of leaves on that year.. Broad leaves and victorian style.. Report this Post to the Staff
snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 04/04/2008 3:22 pm Quote This almost looks like a portrait 2 to my eyes, but I don't scrutinize Victorian coins much. Any other thoughts? I'll guess a grade around f-12, and if it's an F2, that would be around $100 I disagree Kurt.. I say F3 But I mean.. Its pretty smooth there so Kinda hard to tell Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 04/04/2008 3:26 pm Snaz, it was just a guess--that's since been corrected, so thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
