Why is gold worth more than copper?
- It is because gold is less abundant then copper, there is about a hundred times more copper than gold buried in Earth.
Wheat pennies are commonly found so I'll repeat what I said before,
- Wheat pennies in low grades go $0.03-$0.10 in general.
- Scarce dates: 1910-S, 1911-S, 1912-S, 1913-S, 1914-S, 1915-S, 1922-D, 1922-D, 1924-D
- Rare dates: 1909-S, 1909-S V.D.B., 1914-D, 1922, 1931-S
- 1908 = $2.00 in G-4(good condition)
- 1913 = $0.85 in G-4(good condition)
- 1921 = $0.20 in G-4(good condition)
- 1942 = $0.15 in G-4(good condition)
- "1943 silver penny" = it is zinc not silver = $0.30 in F-12(fine condition)
- 1944 = So common check here.
- 1944 S = So common check here.
- 1945 = $0.10 in VF-20(very fine condition)
- 1947 = $0.10 in VF-20(very fine condition)
- 1947 D = $0.10 in VF-20(very fine condition)
- 1953 D = $0.10 in VF-20(very fine condition)
- 1955 D = $0.10 in VF-20(very fine condition)
- 1958 = $0.10 in VF-20(very fine condition)
Non-error it's a tie.
- 1909S VDB is rare at $750.00 for a G-4
- 1922 no D is rare at $600.00 for a G-4
- In near perfect condition only about $0.25 - $0.50, but only if looking newly minted.
- With a date the average is $1.00 in G-4.
- Without a date visible about $0.50.
- 1947 Canadian penny = $0.10 in VG-8, any variety.
- 1966 Canadian penny = $0.10 in MS-60.
- 1944 Canadian nickel = $0.10 in VG-8.
- All of those coins have a value of at least $975.00.
- They average $1.00 or more for UNC/uncirculated condition.
- Error "new buffalo" nickel = there are several and have a $5.00 premium depending on grade.
- Error copper state quarter = happens if the "Nickel metal" peels off and has a $50.00 premium depending on grade.
- Value of a 1946 silver penny= I doubt it's real but if so $200+.
- Value of a 1976 silver penny = I doubt it's real but if so $100+.
- Franklin D. Roosevelt the thirty-second President of the United States (1933-1945).
I got 9 coins that are supposivly from ancient roman times or about 1500 years old. Romans didn't have banks, so they buried their money. do you think these coins are real and what do you think their value is?
ReplyDeleteUntil the 1800's people buried their money in the dirt.
ReplyDeleteHere is good site for Roman coins
http://hobbyblog.blogspot.com/
but I suggest you go to one of the free photo hosting sites and put up back and front pictures of each and throw me a link.
But just because their old means their valuable some "widow's mites" sell for only $2.00 each even though they are 2,000 years old.
i got 9 ancient roman coins. I am asking every one who has an idea about how to clean them for their ideas. i have tried electrolosyss and freezing them and then throwing them into boiling water already. Thanks for your ideas
ReplyDeleteNEVER CLEAN COINS.
ReplyDeleteA long soaking in olive oil.
Or use a Potato..Cut a potato in half then
put the coin between the halves and rubberband the halves together tightly.
Make a small slit in the potato and insert the coin then rubber band the slit shut( kinda like a butterfly bandaid)
Let set for length of time. Check periodically The gunk should just fall off.....may need a bit of assistance.
Or a salt-water boiling.
But once again if you believe the coins are valuable never clean them take them to a pro.
Hi, I came across a 1946 silver penny in a coin collection that I got when my grandfather passed away. I read your note about "I doubt it's real". Is there anyway I can test it myself to see if it is real? Thank you, Valerie in California
ReplyDeleteYes send to a grading company they will charge.

I have a 1959 penny that looks to be half copper and half nickel or zinc (??) don't know what kind of metal but it's silver. If you look at it from the side you can see the split in the two metals. Is this common? Is it worth anything? Just curious. I've saved it for about 20 years because it's unusual . Thanks for any information you might have.
ReplyDelete1959 penny that looks to be half copper and half nickel or zinc (??)
ReplyDelete1959 cents are all copper if any other metal was showing it would be streaky on the face of the coin and very light.
I've never heard of this error although I know of magic coins(for kids) that contain steel in the middle.
Is the coin magnetic and do you have pictures?
I have the same coin, 1959 penny that is half copper/ half steel? It is not magnetic. And the color splits right down the middle/top to bottom, front and back.
ReplyDelete1959 penny that is half copper/ half steel?
ReplyDeleteIt couldn't be steel because steel was only used in 1943.
It may be a poorly mixed alloy.
It needs to be weighed. It should weigh 3.11 grams. I can only guess it is some after mint paint but it is hard to say.
I have 5 consequetive $20 bills Where the IB serial # is almost all the way thru the other side. Any additional value in that?
ReplyDeleteI've gotta $1 bill C01527667*, Is it worth any more than a buck?
ReplyDelete5 consequetive $20 bills Where the IB serial # is almost all the way thru the other side
ReplyDeleteHeavy ink does not usually bring any extra value.
$1 bill C01527667*
Without a year, I can't say.

bullion are coins that are used for what materials they contain like pennies copper and zinc? what years where pennies made of copper and nickles made of silver? where would you sell these coins
ReplyDeletebullion are coins that are used for what materials they contain like pennies copper and zinc? what years where pennies made of copper and nickles made of silver? where would you sell these coins
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you are trying to ask.
Feel free to ask again but be more clear.
what years did the us government make pennies that are made of copper and nickles that are made of silver? and also where would you sell them for there materials. and last is bullion considered coins that are used for the materials they contain
ReplyDeletewhat years did the us government make pennies that are made of copper and nickles that are made of silver?
ReplyDeleteAll U.S. cents through 1982 were made 95% copper.
1943 cent is Zinc plated Steel
1983 until today is 99.2% Zinc and 0.8% Copper
Nickels from 1942-1945 are 35% silver.
where would you sell them for there materials.
It is illegal to melt them or sell for scrap.
But most coin dealers will buy them for metal value or less.
last is bullion considered coins that are used for the materials they contain
I'm not sure what you mean.
Bullion coins can be used for value unless you are reporting for tax purposes.
