CHAIN CENTS INHERITED

[COINIDIOT]

Hi everyone, I need help. I am commenting here because I have a copper chain cent amongst a ton of other coins my grandfather left me. I called a dealer today who was rude so I refuse to go to him. Can anyone recommend a dealer or appraiser in NYC area who I can go to to have all this stuff looked at? I didnt think it would be worth anything because of the condition but I see the other on here and mine is bright and shiny front is a worn off. I dont know anything about this stuff, hence the name lol.

Sorry to post this twice I cant find the other I posted.
I looked online so it seems these are the ones worth the most in the collection

the one with the chain is a fugio copper. The date would be 1787.

 

[COINIDIOT]

Are any of these worth anything?

 

[mainer]

I dont have my coin book in front of me. But in the condition they are in I would say no. I know they made a lot of counterfit Fugio's, if yours is real and I have no reason to believe it isnt then that would the rarer one in the bunch.

well back to wishing I hit the lotto. thanks lol.

To find any Fugio Cent while out detecting my socks would be rolling up and down on their own for a year. It has value . . but you'll probably have to keep your current job. Here's some idea, but yours would grade below any of these listed: http://coinauctionshelp.com/1787fugio_cents.html

Would it be smarter to hold on to it? I have a bunch of other stuff alot of foreign. Should i post pics?
thank you for the feedback!

 

[COINIDIOT]

And the other once cents are worth NADA? lol

 

[olepossum]

[COINIDIOT]

Looks like your grandpa might have owned a metal detector.

Also I have a bunch of wheat pennies and the guy I called today said "They arent worth crap maybe 2c each" but I see online they can be worth something?

These are worth a few dollars apiece, maybe more for the Fugio. The way to sell these is to take your pictures and auction them off in the large cents category (as a single lot, not individually) on eBay, with free shipping, and let the market decide what they are worth. I would not be surprised if the lot sells close to $20. You may get lucky and find out the Fugio is a rare variety, in which case it will sell for more. A coin dealer will not give you much for them because coins like this are difficult to sell. It is easy to find non-corroded examples at most coin shows for not too much money.

I was thinking the same thing, they do look dug don't they?

 

[COINIDIOT]

I am cataloging and taking pics of the other coins. I am sorry if some of these make you laugh that they arent worth anything I am just trying to figure it out. I feel more comfortable doing it this way than going into a dealer Thank you everyone for your help its very nice! Will upload shortly!
