I recently won this coin in a surprise set on whatnot. I could sell it back to the host but am curious on realistic values of the coin if I attempted to sell it elsewhere. Any suggestions on where I could sell it other than an LCS and what kind of value I am looking at? Thank you.
So to start off with I did not know anything about this coin. My great aunt passed away and I was helping my family to clean out her estate. She was an avid coin collector but we thought her caretakers had stolen all of her coins. I expressed an interest in the jewelry and I found this coin hidden away amongst that wrapped in a piece of paper (I attached a photo and only marked out the name written). I brought it to a shop with my mom to ask about it and I was told it is a coin from the Indian head series called a 1911 strong D. The man did not give me the best vibe. He got very excited when he saw it and pulled out a book with a list of dates and things with a price listed next to this coin that was around $3000 (this was in 2023 so I can’t remember the exact price). He said he collects this series of coins and this was the last one he had needed to complete his set and that he had already gotten one but would be happy to buy mine from me and have another. He said that it looked like it had been cleaned but that he would still buy it from me for the listed price. I did not sell it and I felt this encounter was a good sign that I should be careful that I know more about what it’s worth before I were to sell it. I am now in a position where I could really use the money and want to make sure that I am more informed. I have done some research, but I truly know nothing about coins. From what I’ve gathered, I know that condition and whether it’s been cleaned or not really impact value. I tried to take the best photos I could with my phone. Is there any way to gauge from the photos if it looks like it actually has been cleaned or what the value due to condition may be? I would appreciate any and all help that you all can provide!
Hi all, pulled this copper coin out of a $1 bin at a coin shop about 20 years ago and I’ve held on to it since then. It’s worn almost entirely flat and the date only survived because it’s stamped into it as opposed to raised with the rest of the relief. There’s the faintest remains of a bust on the obverse side. Figure it’s a long shot but I’ve always been curious if there’s any chance of identifying it considering how odd the date being sunken in like that is.
I gotta find who’s buying $50 V-nickels. Like holy
Hello friends, I'm back with another addition to my Hobo Peace Dollar album. This time coming from my friend Brian with a sweet California theme. I think this is the most gold to be included in one so far with the eye, tooth, and Halo. It's easily one of my favorites. It's wild to believe that we're down to one open spot left. There are so many talented artists left that I'm definitely going to be doing a second album. Thank you so much for looking!
My mom gave me a stash of coins several years ago that I only glanced at once or twice. Recently I've become more curious about them--their history, value, and how to care for them--which brought me to this subreddit. I did read the FAQs and tried to learn more about these particular coins via Numista, but most of what I read was over my head.
I think these are pretty cool coins and believe they have some value, though the numbers I found online were all over the place. Any thoughts about value and what I should do with them besides storing them in a closet? I think the gold ones especially are so beautiful!
Found this absolute stunner of a 64 philly today!! Anything over face?
Looking for opinions on the best way to conserve this 1805 draped bust large cent. I would like to remove the green verdigris from this coin, yet keep the original black patina. I have posted some cleaning photos in the past, but I am not looking to clean this coin, rather conserve it instead and keep its original surfaces while removing what will ruin it. Please give me some honest opinions and options here. I am just an amateur. Cheers!
Hey! So i started stacking at the beginning of this year, and it’s turned into a little bit of collecting as well. I’m wondering which would be a smarter buy. Saw this 1916 d mercury dime at my LCS, but also have no gold yet. Hoping for some advice from some of the experts on here. I’m only sitting at about 40 oz of silver since I’ve started, maybe I should consider getting my first 10 oz bar instead first? Appreciate all opinions!
How do you guys feel about this fugio cent, maybe its the color idk something just feels off to me
A guy in 1998 was like "omg let's commemorate being the president of the EU and being in the EEC for 25 years!" and then brexit happened
I'm also quite shite at telling whether coins are in good condition, like this was obviously circulated cus I got it as a tip but it looks better than most of the coins I have... Not sure if it's worth keeping, it might be better spent on a bus ride or a charity shop, but I might still keep it because that's the first time I saw one
Ok...so the US Mint has thrown out a couple of products this year that weren't on the schedule. And, hey, it's a business...I guess they can do what they want.
First, it was the wickedly over-priced Freedom Ringing bell-shaped coins (for which, they've not sent out apology letters regarding the packaging). Then it was the unannounced T*ump coins. And I don't know about the rest of you...but quality control has been measurably lower than in previous years.
And now...this. What is *this*? If there is some explanation for this...beyond someone making a huge "donation"...I'd love to hear it. I see some articles stating how its review was fast-tracked by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) in August 2026.
Bought this coin for 64$ in a Turkish auction house if this didnt have the carbon marks it couldve been a MS68 kills the eye appeal but i got this for a really good price the face value is 95$ on PCGS
Hello! I found this coin in a pile of old things and would love some help identifying it. A cursory google search showed similar coins but nothing that seemed to match identically.
It is weighty, kitchen scale says 14 grams
Thank you :)
The Irish Free State issued its own coins for the first time in 1928. Free State silver coins were minted with 75% silver while British coinage was only 50%, but this didn't make Irish coinage superior as the intrinsic value was still far less than the face value.
British coinage remained legal tender in the Free State for a while, and Free State coinage was quite common in Northern Ireland as well, although the nickel 3 and 6d pieces weren’t compatible.
