JimiThing616 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 02:45 am Okay, I'm a newbie and I have NO IDEA what the value of the coins I have. Any thoughts, advise, price ranges would be welcome and appreciated. Thanks! Here's what I got: I have a Buffalo nickel - indian head on the obverse - buffalo on the reverse - worn around the edges and no date or mint visible -might have worn away 1903 nickel - 13 stars on the obverse and female bust - reverse is a wreath with a V in the middle but no mint that I can find. 1907 nickel - same as the 1903 1911 nickel - same as 1903 & 1907 but more worn. 1963 dime - silver - shiny and good condition 1908 dime - worn but print is still clear - reverse has a wreath, S on the bottom 1914 dime - silver little worn but still clear print - reverse has a wreath, D on the bottom (the mint I assume) 1939 dime - silver - obverse has a female bust with wings on the side of her head? - reverse I don't know what the symbl is, D mint 1941 dime - silver - same as above but no mint on the reverse but what may be a W on the obverse 1944 dime same as the 1941 Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 03:24 am Hi JimiThing616 Ok you have a Buffalo nickle 3 V-Nickles or Liberty Nickles 1 Roosevelt dime 2 Barber dimes S and D mints 3 Mercury or Winged Liberty Dimes Coins with no mint marks are Philadelphia minted coins The S mint mark is San Francisco The D mint mark is Denver The only one that can be evaluated for value with the description given is the dateless Buffalo nickle,, worth about .10 The others we really need pics of the coins to estimate grade in order to give you any real Idea of their value. There are no Key date coins in your list for any of the series represented but values can vary quite a bit by grade. Can you post clear pics of both sides of the coins ?

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 08:06 am I have to agree with Metalman. In evaluating coins, condition is everything and there are specific grading points on each coin. For example, on your 1903, 1907, and 1911 nickels (Liberty Head "V" nickels), the main grading point is whether LIBERTY is visible on the coronet and if so, how many letters, how clear, etc. If you post pictures for grading, post them in the Coin Grading Practice section and ask for explanations for the grade opinions given. This is a good way to learn how to grade coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Heather the Hoarder Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 03/26/2006 11:25 am I agree; without an idea of the grade it is hard to come up with values. However, I can give you some idea. In "average circulated" condition (a lot of wear - LIBERTY not visible or highly worn on the Liberty Head nickels and Barber dimes; worn but still reasonably clear on the Mercury dimes), these coins are worth perhaps 50 cents to a few dollars each. The Roosevelt dime is worth silver melt value unless it is uncirculated. Of course, the older coins are worth a lot more than this if they are uncirculated or nearly uncirculated. So we would need to see pictures to know for certain. By the way, on the Mercury dimes, the W on the obverse is the designer's initial. The mint mark (if any) appears on the reverse.
