Weekend finds in New Brunswck

[dpmnb]

I got out over the weekend with my new Fisher F4 searching old properties in my area and came up with mostly pennies and a couple of surprises. See pics.

Got an 1864 New Brunswick Penny that had been turned into a pendant and a 1902 US Liberty V nickle. I have not cleaned them and will sell them on Ebay as is and leave the cleaning to someone else who knows better than I how to best do that.

Great finds there!

Good start but the shipping and Ebay fees will probably cost you more than what those coins are worth.

Welcome to Treasure Net !
Great finds.
Can you post a pic of the penny's reverse side?
I agree with IP in that the costs involved with selling on eBay--based on the condition of each coin and their current values may not be warranted.

Any suggestions as to how I may market these coins if EBay is not a good option?

I think what IP is saying is in dug condition they probably are only worth a dollar or three each.
It's a good start to detecting though, I've used both a Fisher F2 and F5 and they really seem to be decent machines for the price!

nice coins but I would rather keep them as you wont get very much for them.Where in NB are you?

No, I'm saying keep them because no one will buy them.

You may wish to follow this auction of a similar (except as to condition) NB coin--then determine what you think yours is worth.

You can also check in Ebay's "Completed Transactions" section for actual sales of the same coin and again, make a value determination of your own coin. An old catalogue I have (2003) shows the RETAIL value in VG-8 condition as $2.00. Yours would not grade that high IMO.

You might get greater 'value' in watching the face of a kid in a coin club receive this and the other coin.
