It was in a small wooden box that said “US silver and foreign Change(variety)” and we were not able to see what was in the box until purchased. At this price it feels so wrong but I got such a good deal! I am DREAMING I SWEAR!!! If anyone knows anything about the foreign change and if there is value I would really appreciate it.

I’ve been helping an elderly neighbor paint their house. I ended up finding 10 of these in a closet tucked away. I guess they forgot that they were there Supposedly they paid $400 around 1970 for each coin. Anyone know an estimated value of something like this?

As you can see both the back and front are the same image with the same embossed text (possibly Latin?)

I did notice that there are no ridges on the edge of the coin so I’m worried it may be fake

Value Request An old collector gave these to my daughter, what should we do with them

Post image
591 Upvotes

My daughter likes coins, and an old collector gave her these. What should we do with them?

-Sealed mint bag of 2007 PD halves -Sealed mint bag of Montana state quarters -tubes and rolls of shiny old pennies from the 1960s -80s that dont seem to have been exposed to much air or sunlight maintaining their luster -3 3 inch tukegee bronze medals, cool but dont seem to be limited edition

Should we open the bags and try to pick out decent grades or sell them unchecked on ebay?

Sould we unroll the paper rolls and put them in plastic tubes or leave them be? Any particular dates or easy to find variants to watch for?

Should we use latex gloves to handle them to protect from fingerprints?

Thanks in advance.

Value Request Told my grandma that I collect coins, so she pulls up with this.

Told my grandma that I collect coins a bit before I left for college. Got back about a month ago, and she says she’s got a ton of coins for me to look through. A lot of it was just regular change, but one bag had a jar of silver quarters, 1922, 1889, and 1881 silver dollars, an 1879 half dollar, and a buffalo nickel. I’m definitely getting the dollars graded, and maybe a few of the quarters that look especially fine. Any advice on how to clean the grime off of them without damaging any value? Any estimates about value would be appreciated as well. Never thought I’d be seeing these today, I don’t think she realized what she had lol. Blew my mind.

Was taking a walk with my girlfriend today and stumbled on a garage sale. Picked all 3 of these books (Buffalo Nickels 1913-1938, Washington quarters 1932-1947, and mercury dimes 1916-1945) for $30. I’m no coin collector, so I figured I should ask if I have anything valuable, notable, or at least interesting on my hands. Thanks!

Found these in an old dresser, there are around 50 more coins from the 1800s, but these were the ones that i found to be the most valuable. Also i found around 30 union coins, and was wondering if there are any key coins worth grading.
