I bet the list for the "Holy !!!! you just found a coin worth......" is much shorter and harder to fine.
Im just starting to get into this but arent there coins made rarer by their minting location opposed to an early year? I have quite a bit of silver but its all been plucked from circulation and nothing yet by MD. My rarest find was in a wall of a home I assisted in renovating. The lady let us each pick out a coin. I got a 1886 Morgan Dollar. Primo shape obviously. But isnt there a 1884 from a certain mint worth tons more then just melting value? THOSE coins are the ones we all need to have a list of. Some of those coins dont have to be old to be rare and valuable! |

I have a bunch of coins to sort through and I am new to this. I don't want to put something in the coin machine that is something more than a regular coin worth face value. Is this pretty much a good way to differentiate regular new coins from coins that are somewhat different.
Quarters, Dimes, and Nickels that are year 1964 and older I put to the side since they are silver. Pennies that are 1982 and older are copper. Correct? __________________ |

Just a small edit to make sure that people don't get confused; there were never "Barber Nickels" the Nickels minted from 1883-1913 were "V" nickels, or "Liberty Head Nickels." Before the Liberty Heads came "Shield Nickels" which were minted from 1866-1883. Before Shields were 2, and 3 cent pieces which don't really count as nickels. Just figured I'd let ya know so that no one gets confused!
P.S. I think you meant "Flying" eagle, not "Flaying" eagle ![]() __________________ |

The factors affecting coin values are primarily: 1) Collector (market) demand for the coin, 2) Rarity (supply) 3) Condition (grade) ...which also ties into rarity, as higher grades are rarer than lower grades. __________________ |
