Do you have a nickel and want to know its value? Leave a comment
Sure it is technically five cents but the short catchy "nickel" titles always grabs the attention. This a common date and even a common find for me, I have found several. This 54 year old coin still has most of the pillars on the reverse visible but I am reluctant to grade it anything higher than fine.
From 1938-1964 the mintmark is located on the reverse usually to the right of the building Monticello. On the silver nickels from 1942-1945 it was above the the Monticello and much bigger than normal.
Here's the stats... Type/Country: 5 Cents / United States of America Year: 1957 D Mintage: 136,828,900 Metal: 75% copper 25% nickel Value:$0.05

Do you have a dime and want to know its value? Leave a comment
Just a normal dime maybe with a slight railroad rim but that gives it no extra value. It is just the first 2011 dime I found and it was all shiny.
One good reason to pluck new dimes put of your change is all the torch lines are well defined, which adds value.
Here's the stats... Type/Country: 10 Cents / United States Year: 2011 P Mintage: 748,000,000 (estimated) Metal: 91.67% Copper, 8.33% Nickel Value:$0.10 in AU-50
Still have not found a 2009 nickel

Do you have Canadian cent and want to know its value? Comment
Last of trio of Canadian cents found all at once. Started with a 2011 then 1978 finally 1962 that is a 49 year span of Canadian goodness. As usual half way through the year and Canadian finds are dominating all other foreign coins.
Tell me this does not look like the photos by Moyra Davey.
Should have saved this for Canada Day on July 1 but that is still a bit far.
Here's the stats... Type/Country: 1 Cent / Canada Year: 1962 Mintage: 227,244,069 Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc Value:$0.03 in AG

Another visit to the The Metropolitan Museum Of Art and I went to see the modern photography section. The first piece in the exhibit is a giant array of photos of circulated United States cents called Copperhead Grid by Moyra Davey.
I SOOOO COULD DO THIS
Really I have actually taken many pictures like this but I did not post them because I thought no one would care. Then again that is what makes Davey an artist, she puts it out there when she gets inspired. Davey's other photo are of everyday items that seemed to become transformed into uniquely beautiful artifacts.
100 10x8 in. Chromogenic prints make this giant wall of cents.
The verdigris on the coins give a very textured look adding dimension to a worn coin.
From The Met... Artist:Moyra Davey (Canadian, born 1958) : Copperhead Grid : 1990, Printed 2009 : Chromogenic prints : Approx. 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in.) each : Purchase, Vital Projects Fund Inc. Gift, through Joyce and Robert Menschel, 2011
It was in 1990-at the height of a worldwide economic recession that also marked the end of the 1980s art bubble-that Davey began photographing the scratched, worn-away surfaces of pennies, the most devalued and lowest form of currency. Her accumulation of one hundred micro-photographic specimens is constructed around the readymade patterns of decay that countless anonymous owners have unconsciously wrought upon their surfaces; their base materiality is incisively contrasted with the most elevated of national symbols. As with all of Davey's work, there is a melancholic sense of loss that connects subject and form: like pennies, photographs are objects of exchange imprinted by contact with the world around them..
1st thing is the Met calls them pennies which I will excuse as common language, technically they are cents.
2nd thing the most devalued and lowest form of currency is great exaggeration and very much one person's opinion.
3rd thing Davey is Canadian and if she is anything like me foreign cents even when the country is next door is fascinating.
The value of this art piece is not known, by me at least.
Do you have star note and want to know its value? Leave a comment
Sure it is great to find a star note but this one is less than stellar.
Many harsh folds, blunted corners, a tear, red bank ink on the corner, and a foreign bank counter stamp all takes away from any real value. Add to that it is a common star note and it is debatable whether it is worth keeping.
See the counter-stamp it is a circle with an I in the center and above it a six petal flower. I suspect an Asian country but it literally can be anything.
Here's the stats for this bill... Type/Federal Bank: $20 Star Note Fort Worth / Kansas City Year: 2004 Printings: 3,200,000 Printed: February 2004 Run: 1st and only from EJ00000001* - EJ03200000* Value: $22.50 VF(this one is less) I have a choice either keep it knowing it will never gain any value over the years or go see Super 8 knowing that J.J. Abrams and Spielberg will ruin the ending.
