Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/10/2017 11:51 pm to the forum Not sure why those dates other than the 1972 has a high dollar doubled die associated with them the 63 and 64 has some minor doublings and repunched mintmarks, not worth much there.. Those family birth year perhaps? The 1937-D Buffalo has a very valuable error called the three-legged variety to check for. For the cents, they are copper so some folks save for that reason, but as for value, is worth a penny! Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 12:12 am Research the 1972 cent doubled die obverse and check for that. Also research the 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo nickel and check for that. Don't clean anything! If you find one of those rarities, an improper cleaning attempt will destroy value. Happy hunting!

Unless there is a rare variety, the circulated cents are all worth face value. Keep them if you want them for sentimental value. The Buffalo nickels have numismatic value above face. Just don't clean them. Ever.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/11/2017 10:33 am As you have already read, don't clean coins. Sort of like just trying to keep originality. Cleaning, sometimes damages coins by removing material. Report this Post to the Staff
