I got this great response from a recent commenter:
Hi, Man, Regarding the 1955NSF I posted about a couple months ago, just thought you and your posters would like to know, it sold on ebay for $180.00My response:
Congrats, this is why I always recommend eBay.Follow up response:
I think this was it...
Canada cents I had saved up, found a 1955 NSF in about VG/fine
About $85.00 it should be verified in hand.
I assumed VG and gave the lowest average value, yours sold for $180 meaning it either is a higher grade or you are great eBayer.
Hi, Man, It's all in the photos, thanksAt the time I quoted $85.00 the average auction values were low now they average $140.00 in VG and $160.00 in Fine. Now with this sale I see the trend is going higher.
Things the seller did right:
- Posted clear shots of both sides
- Posted the I in DEI that shows the variety clearly
- Has a 100% positive feedback rating
- Coin looks higher than VG
Did you sell a coin after asking me the value? Leave the results in comments

Hi Man,
I've through over 7000 pennies all collected by change since I was a kid and have kept 1920-1965 in a pile and also key dates of 1985,1999 and 2006. Especially with the later ones how can I find out which ones to keep...if in fact these are key dates. Any feedback would be appreciated. Cheers.

Assuming U.S. none are key dates. 1920-1959 average $0.10 each.
Are talking about Canadian cents?
Hey Man,
Sorry..I am talking Canadian coins...no 1936 dot penny though lol...I saw some checklists with those as key dates but could be wrong. Just want to know before I roll them up...still have to go through all my silver coins also so I might bug again.
Sean
Canadian coins...no 1936 dot penny though lol.
Key dates:
1922-1925, 1929(high 9), 1949(A to denticle), 1955(NSF), 1965(Large Beads - Pointed 5), 2006(Magnetic)
The others like 1985 have Pointed 5 and Blunt 5 which are varieties but not rare or key.
Canadian coins have so many varieties that 2006 alone has 6 varieties.
Many others have minor values but nothing that stands out as key.
Thanks Man,
I found 15 from 1965, 5 from 1955 and 1 from 1949...not sure if they meet the criteria you mentioned but I'll keep them. As for the 2006 pennies should I just take a magnet to them to find out if I have one? I have about 300 of them. I really appreciate your help:)

nickles and have one of each 1923,24,31,31 and 49 more from 1937 to 1965
All pretty common but yes keep one of each if you are a collector.
I keep all Canada coin but then again I'm in NY.
Try and get familiar with all the varieties especially 1953.

Not fancy enough, no extra value.
I purchased a coin and currency collection from a craigslist post. Please take a look at this misalignment and give me your thoughts and perhaps a value. Thank you!

Fake error.
All 2003 B-A $2 bills were sold in uncut sheets.
Someone purchased an uncut sheet and then cut it to look like an error.
No extra value. Just $2.00.
Hey Man,
While going through all my canadian pennies, I kept all my us pennies separate (about 500) and I'm just wondering if you would be able to give me key dates to look out for. Thanks again for all the help.
Cheers,
Sean

Hey Man,
So I didn't find any u.s pennies from the dates you mentioned ( earliest was 1920) but I looked on pcgs just in case I had something and I found a 1969 S penny in pretty good shape but not sure if it's a rare one or not. How can I send you a pic?
Cheers, Sean

You're talking about varieties and errors that may exist in every date.
It would be better for you to become familiar with Doubled Die coins.

Basically you're looking for Doubling on the words and date.
