old coins

Found on a public beach in Kuwait

Hey! So I found someone selling large silver coins for $10 each! Not old, just colletable silver coins. Doesn't come with box. I looked on ebay and every coin that was the same as he was selling was going for $30-50 each!!! What I want to know is, is it worth paying lots of money in hopes to...

I was literally saying to myself that these were going to be the last rolls I'd get from the bank. I've been very unlucky. I only have found one 1967 silver out of the 70 or so rolls I've hunted. Well! Just after I said that... out popped this guy! Not old, but still silver!

Happy Canada Day to the few Canadians that go on this site! Wearing my red and white canada day shirt brought me good luck today. I went to a playground and was surprised to find a 1956 silver 1.5 inches in the gravel. First sliver from detecting this year!!! It felt awesome! Much easier then...

Recently, I found a coin in my grandmother's collection. It has a David's Star with two capital A letters, one big and one small. I have searched all over the internet and have not found anything about it. So I am posting it here and trying my luck as I am very curious about it.

Hello there. I live in Canada so was wondering if I had a bunch of u.s. dimes from roll hunting wether I could trade them in at a bank and earn a little since they are worth more than our dimes. Do they do this or should I go somewhere else? Right now a roll of u.s. dimes would be worth about 6...

What do you think about this dime? It's weird... it's so shiny like tin foil it almost doesn't seem like it could be silver. That's why it's not clear... too much glare. Also why does it have a hole in it?! Right by the hole it looks like the shiny stuff is chipped... could it be siliver plated...

Was happy to find this nice silver ca. quarter on my lawn! Also found this wheat pennie. Why do people like to collect wheaties? Do they have much value or do people like them just because they are older coins? Would this wheat sell? How about the silver?

Hi all, I just found a gold Spanish coin from 1817, the era of Ferdinand VII. The face value of the coin says 8 escudos. The mint place is abbreviated as F.M. Does anybody know how much it is worth? Furthermore, what is the best place to sell it? Online or to a store? I would appreciate if...

Hi folks. I returned to the early Vermont homestead for the second time this spring as all the snow of the past slew of Nor'Easters has finally melted here in the Champlain Valley. Spent about 6 hours there on Thursday and uncovered some more nice relics. Finds include an 1833 Matron LC, a...
