I see a lot of people who say to be careful when you pull something out of the ground, say how to wrap it, not to rub it to see dates because you may scratch it and to be careful what you put in the tumbler. Well my question is, these coins coming out of the ground are usually in real rough shape. Is anything really worth much? I understand something extremely valuable will always be worth something regardless of condition but what about common things like
Wheat Ear Pennies, Indian Head Pennies, "War" Nickels, Buffalo Nickels, Barber Nickels, Mercury Dimes, Barber Dimes, Seated Liberty Dime, Standing Liberty Quarter, Barber Quarters, etc.
Are they worth much more than face value? Seems most people clean them up in a tumbler and keep them in a book of there finds. Seems like cleaning these don't really hurt the value as they are not worth much anyway. I understand the older silver coins are probably worth more in silver value then face value.
Any info on this would be great. Thanks.
