HI...I FOUND A PENNY FROM 1975 - ITS AN UNUSUAL GOLD COLOR. WHATS WEIRD ABOUT IT IS THAT "12-31-1974" IS STAMPED RIGHT ABOVE 1975. DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PENNY??

Hi, I found a 1994 nickel that looks like it is copper. Did they put copper in nickels in 1994 or is this a fake?

Hello all, I was reading over some of the messages on the web page...and i read that you were saying something about the 1943 copper penny well its so valuable because that year they were running short on copper and started making the pennys out of silver. Now the silver wheat back pennys are worth about 50 cents but the copper ones for 1943 are worth anywhere from 20,000-45,000! Just thought that you might like to know!

I found a 1945 double headed penny.

Tonya and Jennifer -

Hmmmm...
Maybe you've found a penny like this one... or if you're REALLY lucky, you found one like this.

One thing's for sure, you're not alone.

WE HAVE SOME INDIAN HEAD NICKELS WITH BUFFALO ON THE BACK, NO DATE ON THEM, ARE THEY WORTH ANYTHING?
THANKS
GLORIA

I have a mecry 1974 penny and it is silver it is just like the copper one but silver,so how much is it worth?

I would like to point out that in the above article it says: "(2) 1964 silver Roosevelt nickels (5x face value = $.50 ea)
(2) 1959 silver Roosevelt nickels (5x face value = $.50 ea)"
-jefferson is on the nickel, not roosevelt, and the only time silver nickels were made was during WWII...plus 5x face value of a nickel is 25 $.25, not $.50

for all those questions everyone has, a great guide to coins is The Official Red Book: A Guide Book of United States Coins

for the copper nickels or nickels with a partial striking of the image, these are error coins and are more valuable than face value, and even more so depending on the type or amount of error

Hey thanks, Jason.

Appreciate your clarification on the Roosevelt vs Jefferson nickels... and the bad math on the nickels.

You'll note the corrections above.

I have a new buffalo nickel and I dont know if it is rare do you know?

My husband has a 1919 copper penny and we would like to know if it is worth anything.

Thankyou, Pat Smolich

yes, i was wondering if you think a 1994 dime with a solid copper edge band around it, is worth anything? thanks

Has anybody heard of "google" or "ebay"? Just look up the coin in question and most likely you will find that they are worth face value...or fake...

Is my 1860 Indian Head penny of any value? It is in very good condition?

is a 1974 penny worth anything????

I just wanted you to know that 1964 Jefferson Nickels are not made of steel, they are made of nickel.

You are all wrong! 1943 pennys are not made of silver. They are made of steel with a layer of zinc on it. That's why they stick to magnets, silver isn't magnetic.

Bob,
I have an estimated value for you, 1 cent. Philadelphia pennies don't have mintmarks and any other philadelphia coin before 1980 don't have mintmarks.

Most of these coins are not worth much, espicially the wheat pennies, around 10 cents. I know a lot about coins and their values just email me at bkitko@hotmail.com

Hey Alex,
try 10 cents.

Ben -
Thanks SO MUCH for helping all these people with their coin questions!

We've been hoping that someone with some "coin sense" would chime in here.

Welcome. And thank you for taking the time to answer so many of the questions we've all had about pennies and such.

Are pennies your specialty? Or do you collect & study all coins?

Hi Lynnette,
Your Welcome, actually I study all type of coins. Mostly U.S. and I am very into it since I research new things just about everyday.

I found a 1973 D coin with two heads that of JFK facing Lincoln. Is this worth anything?

I found a nickel 2005 with half a head on one side on other side was mountains with a saying on it ocean in view of the joy could you tell me if this is worth anyting at all or if someone else seen this?

Doris Pergande,
The nickel you found is part of the westward journey series. It is based on Lewis and Clark. In 2004 they made two new designs of the nickel and in 2005 they made two more designs which yours is part of. Then in 2006 they went back to the reverse design of Monticello with a front view of Jefferson's face on the obverse. Your coin is worth 5 cents, unless there is something different with the half a head thing that I don't understand.

Doris Peragande,
I now understand the half a head. In 2004 they kept the obverse the same. In 2005 they changed it to the half a head of jefferson.

Hi. My aunt recently came across a double headed nickel with the date 1983 on one side and 1986 on the other. When it comes to coin values, I'm not very knowledgeable. I was just wandering if this coin would have any value or not. Thank you.

My grandfather left me a lot of things in his estate. One lucky find was what I thought was an old box of unused shotgun shells. I thought they were fairly heavy for 'just' shotgun shells and I pried open the end on one of the shells and it was full of 1877 Indian head pennies. I opened another shell, more 1877 Indian head pennies. Turns out the entire box of shells was full of 1877 Indian head pennies. Each shell has 50 pennies in it and I have 25 shells. Are these pretty common? Either that or he liked that year for some reason. Either way, I still have them. It's pretty cool. I just keep them in the shells in the box. Perhaps one day, I may see what they're worth. Most of them look like the day they were minted. Thanks.

i found a 1827 penny is it real

What would a 1941 U.S. nickle be worth today?

I came across a half silver dime. Is it worth anything. I would think that it would be worth more than 10 cent.

Glen,
Not that much
Steven,
a half silver dime? no such thing.

i have 1953, 44 and 46 pennies, i dont think there's anything out of the ordinary on them, but i was wondering if they are worth anything above thier original value over 50 years later

i was wondering what would be the value of a 1977 washington quarter

My uncle is looking for info on gold dime. He has some would like to know the value of them?

i have alot of wheat back pennies that i know are a worth alot of money, but i just havent got around to looking to sell them. so if you are intrested in maybe buy them or can give me information on how to sell them, either give me a number i can contact someone or give me a call my number is 1-507-474-7124 or email me at the above address that would be greatly appreatiated.

I have a steel penny dated 1948 does not stick to magnet. help

The buffalo on the 2005 nickle, is there anything special about it? someone was telling me that if it had a little pee pee under him that, that was not to be there and they quit making them. Is there any truth to this? Thank You.

Mary Jackson,
The reason it does not stick to a magnet is the simple reason of that it isn't a steel penny. It is just a regular old 1948 wheatback penny worth 10 cents if anybody was desperate enough to buy it which i doubt would happen. You people need to do your research before you make a fool of yourselves.

is a 1995 quarter worth anything if it dont hve a back and nriggs

I have two pennies that i would like to know a little more about (not value).First of there is a 1987 what appears to be silver penny??? and also a 1973 penny with an engraving of JFK facing Abe??? Maybee just a little bit of background information please. Thank you

I tried researching it, but my nickel does not have a date, however, it does have the letter "e" on the top of the buffalo's back and the letter "s" at the bottom. How do I find out what it's worth? Were there any nickels made that did not have the date printed on the coin?

I HAVE A VERY UNUSUAL COIN. IT IS HARD TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS. IT IS LIGHT BLACK WITH A FACE OF A DEVIL FACING TO THE RIGHT OF THE COIN AND THE BODY OF A BACK PART OF A HORSE. THE LETTERS AT THE TOP OF THE COIN IS I THINK CEAAL NOT QUITE SURE. THE BACK HAS A GALLOPING LIKE, WITH A DECORATIVE HEAD PEACE. IT HAS AN INDENT WHERE THE TAIL IS. IT HAS THE WORD COPY ON THE BOTTOM, IT'S LIKE IT HAS INDENTATION THAT RAISE UP IN CERTAIN PLACES ON THE COIN. MOST UNUSUAL. IF YOU CAN HELP ME I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. OR IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO MAY KNOW PLEASE HAVE THEM E MAIL ME.

I have a 1906 Indian Head penny in fairly good shape. However, on the front side, it has a very clear stamp of "L" and "O" and a "6" below the "L" and a "22" below the "O". On the reverse side, it has a clear stamp of "1907" over the upside-down side of the "cent" stamp. Anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to give me some insight.

i found a 1852 penny i was wandering on its worth

i have a 1957 wheat penny. how much is it worth?

I ran across your web page when researching a 1976 penny that I found. It has the state of Indiana, with Indiana's initials on the front. Has anyone else found one like this? I was just wondering if it might be a fake, or if someone might have done this by hand, because it is the only one that I have found like it. By the looks of the penny, and the state on the front, they look to have been made at the same time. Maybe it was pressed by accident?
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hill

I found a 1944 quarter at the beach and was wondering if it had any value? It is quite patina'd up

hey I got a gold Susan B Anthony dollar Coin . I wonder how much does this worth?

GABE,
If it is a 1943 silver penney you are talking about, it isnt silver. They are made of steel with a layer of zinc. And silver will not stick to a magnet.

Jeff,
Dose the quarters stick to a magnet and when you drop them do they have a metal noise of kind of a plasticky noise. And when you test the sound trick do it on a flat, hard surface!

Hai,
If you tell me what the year is on the gold Susan B Anthony dollar Coin i can give you an estimate of how much it is worth.

Brittany,
I read your question about the Penny you were talking about. The Penny you are talking about is an INDIAN HEAD PENNY. And if you can tell me the condition of the coin i could get you a price of how much the coin is worth.

DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT A PENNY WITH A AL BY THE HEAD WITH THE SHAPE OF ALABAMA AROUND IT IT IS A 1974

I have several old silver coins that I was wondering if maybe you would have an idea of their values. I do believe that all four of them are silver dollars. They are as follows:

1) 1804 Liberty Dollar, the front has a bust which I am assuming is lady liberty with 13 stars on it.7 on the left and 6 on the left. On the back it has 13 stars above the eagle and 6 stripes on the shield under the eagle.

2) This coin is dated 1874.Has a full view of again I am assuming is lady liberty. She is carrying a fig leaf in the right hand and a banner which states liberty on it. There is 13 stars on the front,7 of which are on the right hand side and 6 stars are on the left. On the back of this coin it says "United States of America" on the top with a banner under those words but the letters are to small for me to read. There is an eagle in the center and under the talons of the eagle it reads 120 grains 900 fine. Under those words it states "Trade Dollar". I also have one dated 1885 with all of the above markings.

3) The third coin is dated 1894. On the front is a side view of lady libertys head facing west, the wording on the top of the coin it reads "E*Pluribus*Unum". Again there is 13 stars on the coin. 7 on the left and 6 on the right. On the back it reads "United States of America" Under those words are the words "In God we trust". It states on the bottom under the eagle "One Dollar". I do not know where to begin to find out their values. Maybe you could help.

Sincerely

Dan Bush

I have an 1877 Indian Penny it is brown and it has a little bit of copper in it and i was woundering what it would be worth!! thanks

Can you tell me anything about the copper state quarters. I have one all copper and one copper on both sides. Selling pretty well on ebay, but how can I tell if they are really copper? Any test?

I found a 1995 roosevelt dime with a solid copper edge? What is the rarity, and value? thanks

I have a 1973 one cent elizabeth the 2nd bermuda penny with a pig on the back, do you think it is worth anything because i have never seen such a canadian penny and cannot find any facts about it.

I have 50 pennies, All with the state shape ingraved on them as well as the states enishal. I have not had much luck at my local coin dealer, he said they were worth around 5.99 a peice. I dont want to sell them, I just want to know if that was a fair pricing for these coins? I do not have them in any sort of casing and I am not sure if one will be needed in this case. If you would, Please help with any info you may have dealing with these Pennies, and I would be Greatful beyond typed words. Again thanks for your time and any help you may have.

I have a 1977 Penny that looks like it went through the dime process. It is the exact color of a dime. Is it rare and does it have any value?

Check on e-bay. Seyfert's pretzel jars are going for 15 to 30 dollars. I notice in the picture that yours has a university listed on the back. That could make it worth a lot more. Put you coins in a coffee can

Hey thanks, Harvey.

Good to know.
However, the university logo is just a see-thru vinyl sticker.

The good part: no sticky residue on my valuable glass jar.
The bad part: it's not a permanent logo, so it wouldn't boost the value of my valuable glass jar.

Thanks for sharing that info though! I had no idea.

I have a 1978 US silver penny (copper centered). Is this worth anything good --- besides an adrenaline rush :-)

Thanks for such a wonderful site. It's a shame that these inquisitive minds didn't take the intitiative to read before asking questions. Many of the questions are answered if only they would read prior to posting.

Thank you again for this information, and I will be back!!!

I found a quarter, I mean i took my brother's quarter to look for a coin to help his state coin collection. I found a coin with the date 1776 1976 with a dot in the middle. On the other side is a drummer, probably for the revolutionary war(Minuteman) and a torch with 13 stars around it in front of the man;s face. Also, the words "United States of America and Quarter Dollar" is remarkably larger, with the "of" not capatilized and E Pluribus Unum smaller and under the torch.

Just wondering in found a 1944 wheat penny that looks like copper is copper rare that year?

Try this site: www.coinflation.com . Your nickels are actually worth almost 10 cents and pennies older than 1982 are worth more than 2 cents. All nickels have copper in them (actually they are 75% copper). The only nickels with silver in them were made during WW2, so your article is incorrect.

I HAVE A PENNY WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE JFK'S FACE CARVED INTO IT. I WANT TO HOLD ON O IT NOT FOR IT'S VALUE, BUT TO FIND OUT THE ARTIST.

Hi I have a 1974 Lincoln and JFK penny that I would like to sale I also have a 1919 penny too so please email if interested thank you(l_evans912@yahoo.com)

I have a 1973 penny with a symbol of South Dakota engraved on the "heads" side of the coin. Looks like it was engraved at the mint. What could it be worth?

Scott, the penny was engraved by a private company. It is not worth that much, maybe 10 cents or a quarter if somebody wants to buy it that much.

Lisa, same as with Scott's penny. The 1919 may be worth about a dollar depending on condition.

natacha, 1941 dime about $1.50

teale, It is Jefferson on the coin, not Washington.

Jeane, Liberty V nickels can have different values: from 3.00 to couple hundreds in the lowest condition.

1943 one cent are not silver, and are made out of zinc coated steel.

Two-headed coins are not made by the US mint. They are privately made by cutting two halves with a laser and glueing them together.

Any engravings are not produced by the US mint, they are privately done as a special commerative to something.

Any US coins made before 1965, not inc. 1965, are silver. Post 1964 are nickel and copper.

One cent coins with "wheat ears" on the back are worth saving, although the later years are worth about .10

Jefferson nickels before 1960 can be saved, but some are still worth a nickel.

If a coin is gold colored, they are gold plated and were made for like birthday gifts and are not really worth more than their face value, which is the value of the coin (face value of a dime is a $0.10.)

If any of you all found a nickel that is brown in color and thinks that it is copper than it is just plain dirty. Unless you weigh the mass of the coin and find it to be minted on a one cent piece, then it would be worth a lot..

I have a 1965 nickel that looks like it has copper in it. I read above that 1965 should not have copper in it. Also this nickel has no mint mark.

Hi
I have a one sided roosevelt dime. It has a torch on one side the face side is blank.

EDITOR'S NOTE: See this article.

I have 1992 pennie it has a leave with a 3 inside the leave. I was wondering if it is worth anything?

EDITOR'S NOTE: The answer to this question is posted here.

Hello all. I have been collecting and trading coins for a few years now and I just want to add that if any of you want answers to your questions you can e-mail me and I'll let you know. I have an answer for almost every question I've seen here but that would take forever to answer every single one. If you're interested in selling I will give fair prices too. -Jay

Sorry,e-mail is xxmr.azzyxx@hotmail.com

I have a two headed quarter, dated 1983. How valuable is this quarter.The quarter is consit of cooper and silver.

Walter

I have a 1959 penny and the design of lincoln looks diffrent from the ones we see today.I also have a1968 penny that doesn't look like it is made out of the right medal.

Walter, No two-headed quarters have ever been certified as authentic. These coins have been altered after leaving the mint and sold for novelty purposes. There has been one certified two-tailed coin however, so I'm not saying that it's impossible that you have a true mint error coin, just not very likely.

I was reading through these posts to answer some of you and came across one that made my jaw drop and gave me goosebumps. This post... My grandfather left me a lot of things in his estate. One lucky find was what I thought was an old box of unused shotgun shells. I thought they were fairly heavy for 'just' shotgun shells and I pried open the end on one of the shells and it was full of 1877 Indian head pennies. I opened another shell, more 1877 Indian head pennies. Turns out the entire box of shells was full of 1877 Indian head pennies. Each shell has 50 pennies in it and I have 25 shells. Are these pretty common? Either that or he liked that year for some reason. Either way, I still have them. It's pretty cool. I just keep them in the shells in the box. Perhaps one day, I may see what they're worth. Most of them look like the day they were minted. Thanks.

If this is a true post and not a made up story then Mike you're going to be rich buddy. The 1877 Indian Head penny is by no means common what-so-ever and one of the rarest. If you have that many of them then what you have is known as a "hoard" and you should spend the money to have the whole hoard of 1877's graded and authenticaded by a 3rd party grading service and reported. NGC is a good company and can be found at http://www.ngccoin.com/ . If in good enough condition each one of these coins can easily be worth over $500 each. I just have to say...WOW. -Jay

I have a 1944 penny with the wheat stems on each side on the back and Lincoln on the front. How much is it worth?

Alot of posters have the same questions so I'm goin to answer some of the most common ones.

I have a 1979 Susan B. Anthony Dollar.How much is it worth?It is in good condition

Circulated Susan B. Anthony dollars you can use to buy groceries. There were several millions of these minted and they're not worth anything over face value. Sorry.
