Nothing shockingly valuable.
the 43 P war nickle being 40% silver has a .96 value.

Wheats I'd say .03 to .05 Cents each but more to those willing to pay more

the old grumpy Bat on a Dollar Coin $1.00 (.49 worth of metal)

the 1949 Nickle more then 5 cents to those willing to pay more but really not rare

The memorial Pennies 1 Cents imo
though the Copper value is almost 2 Cents .019

Stephydee, For any information on any coin you might want, an easy way is to type in the type of coin, (penny, nickel, dime etc.) with the date and mintmark, if any, and you'll see more infro. than you need. It's a great tool.

Jeff said 40% on the war nickels. They are 35% silver.

Thank you, for your reply. For years I have held onto any old dated coins I find in change but I never really looked more in to it until now. Thanks again. Maybe one day I'll come across a great one.,��

3RD Reich coins are collectible--- ANY old coppers 19-20 century foreign, lots of silver world coins out there.
I dug a 1901 Belgium 50 cents that is smaller than a dime & 50% silver.
Walmart sells Redbook, about $15.
I look over every bill & coin I get & search about $1500 a week in rolls of all denominations

dug this sweet thing on Tuesday----

the differences in Value are Due to the Differences in wants & needs. and
Sellers & Buyers.

Of course those Buying almost always offer the Lowball amount, unless of course they need it to fill a spot in a collection.

Sellers almost always want as much as they can.

I actually prefer looking at completed auctions on Ebay to see what the particular coin
got from bidders . if anything.

in most cases it's more fun to have then worry about value

The thing about Redbook prices is those are what you expect to pay a dealer for them. Completed eBay auctions are the way to go. Another reason in value difference is rarity.

Not so sure that "Dummy", would be a correct term, perhaps "Novice" would be more accurate. We were ALL a novice at one time or another in anything we found an interest in, such as detecting & or coin collecting. Selling sought after coins for face value? Uninformed, and bless their hearts for it.

If you are serious about getting into COINS or CRH in general, then I suggest you get a RED BOOK. It will explain everything in detail, as to history of coinage, types of coins, how to GRADE your coins, mintage numbers, etc over and above what your coin is worth. You can pick up cheap an older version 2016,17, now that the 2018 are coming out soon.

@dozerd Thanks for the help, yeah I've always been interested in coins, well pretty much anything antique or vintage. I must have got it from my pops who always had a big jar of pocket change on his desk. Anyways I'm for sure getting a Redbook and see what I can find out. I very much appreciate all the tips I've gotten.
