Hello, I'm new here. I have a big coin collection of U.S coins,and related products. I have no idea of the value of any of it. Where do I start? I have a ton of photos of everything, 78 photos in total. Most of the stuff I have is in mint condition, in plastic. I live in Canada, and my City I live in has no real coin collectors, just places that look for old coins with silver in them to melt for the silver value. These coins are very unique, some ancient coins as well. I refuse to give them to someone to melt down for the precise metal value. This is all I know about the coin collection:

A Silver Wartime Nickel
The wartime nickel is the ONLY U.S. NICKEL EVER MADE OF SILVER ALLOY!!
The U.S Mint only produced this coin from 1942-1945, so it is QUITE RARE!

Demand for these rare coins by collectors was so great that THEY WERE ACTUALLY COUNTERFEITED AT ONE POINT!!
The SILVER WARTIME NICKEL in this collection IS THE GENUINE ARTICLE and will make a PERFECT ADDITION TO YOUR COLLECTION!
A 100 Year-Old Liberty Head "V" Nickel
The Liberty Head Nickel is often called a "V" nickel because of the large Roman numeral 5 in the center of its reverse side.
This nickel has a very special place in coin history because IT WAS ONCE USED TO COMMIT LEGAL FRAUD!
Not long after the new nickel was minted, CON ARTISTS DISCOVERED THAT EXCEPT FOR ITS COLOR IT WAS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO A FIVE-DOLLAR GOLD PIECE!
Legend has it that a man named Josh Tatum would go into a store, select an item costing five cents or less, and pay for it with a gold-plated "V" Nickel.
THE UNSUSPECTING STORE CLERK WOULD THEN GIVE HIM BACK $4.95 IN CHANGE!!
According to the tale, the law had no recourse against Tatum, as he had tendered the value of his purchase and SIMPLY ACCEPTED THE $4.95 IN CHANGE AS A GIFT!
The Liberty Head Nickel in this collection still bears the distinctive "V" on its reverse side and will make a very interesting addition to your collection.
A Dated
Buffalo nickelThe WORLD FAMOUS "BUFFALO" NICKEL was produced from 1913 all the way to 1938 and has been a FAVORITE OF COLLECTORS ever since.
The Buffalo's raised date-placement caused many of them to become unidentifiable after just a few years and therefore of no collectible value.
The Nickel in this collection is a VALUABLE FULL-DATE SPECIMEN and will make a wonderful addition to your coin collection.
