Beginning of my coin collection

[Redneck315chick]

My mom works at nice n easy gas station in Boonville and she brings home random coins. Heres a list of the following coins that i have found at home.
1938 S Mercury Dime
1936 Buffalo Head Nickel
1943 S Steel Penny
1917, 1928, 1936, 1946, 1957 D Wheat Pennies
Also a coin about the size of a penny but a little bit thicker, it says SVERIGE ORE with a 50 in the middle with mint marks of E and B and on the back there is 3 crowns and the date of 2001.
If any one can help me out on the prices and on what kind of coin the last one is that would be greatly appreciated

Swedish
The official currency of Sweden is the krona (SEK). The krona is divided into 100 ore. The krona today is valued at $0.14; therefore your 50 ore has a face value of $0.07; as a collector's item, you may wish to check Ebay. The coin is composed of 97% copper, 2.5% zinc, and 0.5% tin.
An interesting find!!

Correct. Check out World Coin Gallery for pics. It's the best web site around for identifying foreign currency.

As for prices don't expect much. Those are all common date coins and unfortunately not worth a whole lot. I could buy all of them except for the Mercury dime for about $1.00 total from a local dealer. The buffalo nickel is probably 50 cents, the wheat pennies are about 4 cents each, the steel cent is about 10 cents. The Mercury dime is worth its silver melt value which is $1.30 as of today (check out coinflation.com for melt values of coins).

They may not be worth a lot of money but they are worth something to you as a collection. There are a lot of people in this world who have never seen a Mercury dime, steel cent, or true buffalo nickel. That makes them unique. Congratulations on your collection and just keep adding to it. Some day you will have something that your grandkids will be amazed at!

I´d say the 50 öre is worth 50 öre ... in Sweden and nowhere else !

Put it in your collection. The story that you found it in the US is better than the price you can get !
