Older is Better

Do you have a coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

Yes I have found old coins in my change and new foreign coins but these truly older coins are nearly impossible to find unless you buy them or dig them up while metal detecting.

From top to bottom left then bottom right; 2004 Canadian penny, 1907 US penny, 1914D dime, 1854 quarter, and 1914S dime.

As you can tell even worn and dirty older coins have more value while the newer ones are not worth as much initially. Granted 50 years from now maybe that Canadian will be a collectors item it is also a safe bet that the older US coins will still retain a premium value.

Still none of these will pay your rent.

Do you know much about Tokens? I have a Coca Cola $50.00 1915 Convention Coin, Looks To Be Brass,Has An Owl On One Side,and A (what Looks To Be) an Egyptian Mans Head On The Obverse. MCMXV.
The Coin Is Huge(a bit bigger than an Eisenhower Dollar.Found it in an Old Farm House Some friends were tearing down.It looks to be abit worn down,like maybe someone carried it in his/her pocket for luck. but not worn too bad,everything is still readable.
Hope You Can Help Me Out Here,as I have never seen one like this before.

1974(no mint mark) penny. It looks to be Aluminum

These were experimental coins made by the U.S. government but never released.

Only one has been authenticated and it is valued over $250,000.

All others are plated fakes or aluminum cast fakes.
