coindexter Pillar of the Community United States 869 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 12:23 am Coin values depend a lot on the grade the coin is still in. If it has some wear on it it will loose value. So pics are needed. And if ya have a bunch to look up sometimes e-bay will give you some price range you can expect for them.(look at ones with people bidding) Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 10:00 am US Nickels 1954 nickel(2) 1943 nickel 1948 nickel Look for a large P D or S on the reverse of the 1943 above the dome of of the MONTICELLO bldg. If it is a P you may have a valuable variety. Good sharp images will be needed of the obverse or front with the entire coin. The other dates may have a much smaller D (Denver) or S (San Francisco) mint mark to the right of the MONTICELLO bldg. If they do not, they were minted in Philadelphia. Depending on condition your nickels can range in value from about a quarter to quite a few dollars if they are well struck with sharp details. DO NOT CLEAN your coins! Take images and post them. More people will respond with images to help you. Edited by TNG 10/05/2009 10:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 10:40 am To start with - most recent European coins are worth very little and are now being sold by the pound. Google "euro coinage" to discover which countries are using euro coins; these countries' coins before 1999 were mostly exchanged for new euros and many of the old coins sent to China, especially those containing nickel, for melting and recycling. However, most English decimal coins are worth at least face value. Most foreign coins' value now is mostly in filling out collections of type or date coins. Most Mexican coins before 1992 (when reform coinage went into effect) are worth bulk value, although there are some varieties that are worth a bit more. You can also check a money rate site online to discover what the current values of euros and Mexican reform coinage and other countries' coins are. Earlier coins may be worth a premium, IF you do NOT clean them, and your best source of value information is the " Red Book" or "Coin Values", which you can find on most newsstands. Even some recent USA cents may be worth substantially more than face value if they are "varieties" or "error" coins; you'll find very useful discussions of them in the error and variety forums here. Welcome! Ask away with your questions - photos are very useful (no camera necessary; just scan them!) - be sure to include full information on any coins you need more information on, including country of origin, size in millimeters, weight (if possible), and any "odd" features that don't seem to match with type photos of your own coins. Hope to see you back here again. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 10/05/2009 9:05 pm All are common, as far as I can tell. "1960 one Franc(lady dancing on front)" - that one's from France. She's not dancing, she's sowing seeds. "1990 5 pence(has queen elizabeth II on front)" - that one's from Britain, I assume - it should have a crowned thistle on the other side? "1997 10 pence(has a fish on front)" - this one sounds like it's from Ireland. "1972 cinco centavos(has person on front and eagle on back)" - Mexico. "1994 100 peso(from columbia)" - yep, from Colombia. "1954 1 cent(has Nederlandse Antillen on front)" - the Netherlands Antilles are a scattered group of islands in the Caribbean owned by the Netherlands. Depending on condition, this one is probably the most valuable foreign coin mentioned, but still only a couple of dollars at most. "1967-1992 1 cent(canadian)" - if you look closely, it actually says "1867-1992" - it's a circulating commemorative to celebrate Canada's 125th anniversary. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/06/2009 10:33 am WELCOME TO THE FORUM. If you going to be interested in coins as a hobby, I suggest you look into purchasing a few coin books. The one most used for US coinage for information is the Red Book by Whitman Publising. If you do get that one, remember to ignor the prices to some extent. They are usually about 20 to 25% over reality. Report this Post to the Staff
