My great grandmother always collect and kept coins. I was cleaning out her house and stumbled upon some boxes of old coins. I was wondering if I had anything of worth.

France 1872 5 centimes
English 1902 5 cent
Italian 1867 N 5 cent
Italian 1867 N 10 cent
Italian 1940 10 cent
Republic De Cuba 1948 5 cent
Canada 1965 10 cent
Canada 1947 5 cent
Canada 1900 one cent
Canada 1962 5 cent
Canada 1964 5 cent
Canada 1966 25 cent
Canada 1884 1 cent
German 1906 1/2 Heller
Britain 1928 One shilling
Britain 1902 1 cent
Britain georgivs 1/2 penny
Mexican 1943 5 cent
Napoleon III Emperor (might be 1855)
Australia 1938 penny
Elizabeth II 1963 3 pence
Worlds Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893

Then she has tons of Wheat pennies from 1900-1960

You would probably get a better response on the World Coin Forum down the page a bit. A condition (Good, VG, Fine, etc.) of each coin would also be necessary to get a guess in the ballpark.

I just know this is going to end up with you finding 10 - 1909S VDB's, 20 1914D's, etc. Always seams like all will be junk or all will be fantastic. Your going to need a few books on prices and grading.

Well it seems like most of the wheat pennies are junk. I found a couple 1909's but none are 1909S's. Sadly no 1914D's either. :( The others are what I was wondering about. So looks like i'll ask there.

Not sure if your aware of coinage values but for instance if any of those coins appeer as if you've been drinking to much, double or thriple looking, those could well be double dies and are worth a lot.
Also, you could may have a 1922 which should have had a D but it just insn't there and that too is worth money. Lots of other things to look for too so a good book on coins is really important.
