I have this old Morgan Dollar my folks gave me as a kid. Like everyone says, I do not plan on selling it, but I was curious what it is worth.

I think the 1897-O Morgan is a semi-key date. You should send it out to get graded and slabbed!

The 1897-O is not anything special in that grade and wouldn't be worth sending in. Especially this one, as it would come back with a Details grade due to the cleaning/questionable color. Value is $25-30. BraveUlysses posted:Thanks for the info, here's another gallery based on what you posted: Nice coins! The 1875 Indian Head is worth up to $10, the Flying Eagle cent probably $15. The 1908-S is a semi-key, but yours looks like it has some scratches/damage on it, so maybe around $35 for that. Without the marks it'd be $60-70. The rest of the coins are mainly worth up to a buck or two.

I've inherited a bunch of coins that seem to be nothing more than proof sets and commemorative coins that appear to be worth little. I did find five rolls of what look like uncirculated quarters and I wanted to see if anyone thought they were worth more than face value.  It's 65, 66, 67, 79 & 80.

I don't collect paper money but I always keep an eye out for Star Notes. I got this 2009 $20 Star Note from the ATM the other day. It didn't have a cool serial number and it wasn't crispy enough to warrant throwing up on eBay. Spent it on beer. This is my US 90% stack, minus the $1 in quarters I just won from eBay. Need another $2 to complete the roll.

Finally finished my roll of 1964 Quarters. Dunno what to stack next. My LCS has a pretty well stocked $25 Morgan Dollar bin I could raid every week until I finish a roll. Or I could buy 5oz silver bars and/or 1/10oz AGE's.

OK I couldn't really find anything online about this, figure this would be a good place to ask. I found a coin the shape and color of a penny, on one side it says this coin is the key with the eye in the triangle Illuminati thingy on it and on the other has an american flag with a website, https://www.iknow.tv. The website seems to have been taken offline. At first I thought some random crazy guy made it but it seems pretty well done.

Awesome. I have a bunch that I would love to learn more about. I know nothing. I inherited all of them so I don't think I'd sell any particular one unless it was super valuable. 1914 five mark:   Syrian, I think. 10 something?   Ethiopian?   No idea. Ottoman empire? Has some green residue and damage of a sort.    It's weird in that it doesn't seem like the coin was struck by anything rather than maybe it was corroded by a super vicious drop of acid but I think that maybe the metal had some internal weakness or bubble of some sort and the it broke off. One Mil Palestina/Eretz Yisrael:   Olden times:   Bahamas proof coin set:  with some papers:  Five cors 1909:   World cup mexico coin: Comes in a wallet:    These two Olympics Mexico coins:   <-they're set in a frame so no B side.Apollo Suyoz commemorative coin:  Has papers too:

"Olden times" looks to be a bronze follis of Constantine the Great 's son Constantine II from 317-340 AD extremely common and worth about $5 in this condition Because I've seen these a lot I think the inscription is DN CONSTANTINVS PF AVG putting it at the time he was Emperor with his brothers 337-340 fully written out that's: Dominus Noster Constantinus Pious Felix Augustus (Our Lord Constantine II Pius and Happy Emperor) Al Harrington fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Sep 21, 2014 |

This thread is exactly what I need! I've got a bunch of inherited coins I'm trying to figure out the value of. They've been in a hot attic for a decade or so. The bulk of what I've got is a bunch of oddity coins, mostly pennies, it seems like. I have dozens of these, this is only a small sampling. It seems like they're mostly from the middle of the 20th century.  This seems valuable. A 1998-W American Eagle coin. Seems like this one: http://www.ngccoin.com/NGCCoinExplorer/CoinDetail.aspx?CoinID=710424  Can I assume it's in the best condition, since it's in that fancy book/plastic case? A set of silver dollar coins, sealed in a plastic case. They do not look to be in perfect condition.  Some halfway-full penny and nickel sleeves. I'm guessing these aren't worth much.  Some wrinkly-rear end $2 bills. Is there anything unique about them, or are they worth about $2 each?

I have an 1866 US three cent piece. I think a family member got it in change from someone who thought it was a dime about 20 years ago. What's it worth?

One like yours, with the laurels, ridges, and date intact, can go for about $15-20. 1866 is a common date, the second year that one was minted. Wasn't very popular, surprise!

I read online that three-cent coins were used to buy three-cent postage stamps. If 1866 is a common year, and the second year that they were minted, did the decision to start making these coins have anything to do with the end of the Civil War?

Well, mostly! The 3 cent nickel you have came about because the Civil War triggered mass amounts of precious metal hording. The 3 cent silver that preceded it, which was mostly created for buying postage, fell victim to the hording. So the Mint came up with the copper/nickel 3 cent nickel to use instead, and since it wasn't made of anything worth a drat, it never really caught on. This was made worse by the fact that a dime is basically the same size as it.

It looks like there's some sort of strike flaw on that coin - is that part of the coin, or just a hair that fell on it?

Anyone buying in the $17's/oz? Some unforeseen bills are kicking my rear end right now and it's killing me that you can buy 5oz bars for under $100 shipped right now and I'm stuck on the sidelines. I did just pick up a Morgan Dollar on eBay for $24 shipped (plus I already had $4 in my PayPal account) though so that should soothe my cravings for now. My LCS has a $25 Morgan Dollar Bin but that doesn't include tax so I made out okay on this one. I'm waiting on my mom to get back to me with my dad's ring size. I want to have a Peace Dollar or a Walking Liberty Half Dollar with the year my grandpa was born made into a ring for him for Christmas.

You ever collect coins... on weeeed? So I decided to show some of my horde. I worked for a bank for 12 years and for part of that time I was the vault manager. One of the perks of such a job is buying silver out of circulation at face value. On the teller line, (most tellers are morons btw) I would try to inform people that they didn't want to use silver coins for face value, still, there is a surprising amount of silver in circ. Like I said, most tellers don't know poo poo about old currency, and more than once I had to explain that, "No, that is not a counterfeit, that is a silver certificate." or "No, a silver eagle is worth MUCH more than a dollar." However, when you are in the vault and cash and coin comes in from points unknown and has to be sorted, you can find all kinds of great stuff: (sorry for poo poo pics)  The dime and the first couple of half dimes are pretty wrecked. Half dimes don't go through coin sorters very well. The big cent is worn but is a liberty head, not sure what year but it does not have a shoulder. The half cent and 1856 half dime are in pretty good shape. $10 "Redeemable in gold"  Silver clad Ike  poo poo tons of Silver Certs and Red Twos  And lastly, bulk silver:  At the top is a roll and a half of WWII Nickels. Some quarters of 1900-1964, Franklin, standing Liberty and Kennedy Halves, Dimes. I use to have a lot more, but hard times forced me to liquidate some. Bulk coin silver is always a nice little way to buy your rear end out of trouble. I have a vague idea of the value of these, but I thought I would just share some of my collection.

nice haul there I wanted to work in a bank right out of school, but around here 99% of bankers actually handling money are women so it wasn't meant to be the '28B $10 chicago isn't worth a whole lot, perhaps $20, it's a lime green seal so it's a little better note, but not terribly attractive the blue and red seals you'd need to break down by denom and series for me to help you out at all, billions were printed but there are rarities worth good money to be found any star notes? find any errors on paper money?

Thanks for the feedback Al. No errors on the bills, no stars. I think there is one $1 that is oddly cut showing a black dash orientation mark below the front image in the wide margin. I'll have to look it over. The real beauty of my collection is that I only have face value invested in it. EDIT: Any thoughts on the 49 Jefferson?
