Hello, I thought I would share this with you all, as I was very happy with the outcome of this project I did. I got a small coin holder frame and placed what we think is my grandfathers first coin ever, a 1826 Large Cent (He always loved cents and said his first was a Large cent, so this was the old...

I know. I can only afford the bare minimum . It deters people from getting coins graded. It cost $50 a coin before it's all over. Unless your sending in a bunch of coins, it's not worth it unless the coin is worth at least $150 , no ? I personally would not send off to have any of my coins graded; ...

Not sure who knew this, but... 1. When I was a kid and collecting coins, I knew there where 3 U.S. Mints active and 2 closed A. San Francisco (S) for Proofs and special coins B. Philadelphia (P) (Most coins without a Mint mark where from Philadelphia) C. Denver (D) D. New Orleans (O) Closed E. Carso...

Right now I have seen within USA that most coins that cost more are the Silver coins; I walked into a dealer store the other day and all older nickels and pennies and non silver where in boxes, 15 cents to 1 dollar per coin, depending on grade. All foreign was like 25 cents for non silver... some wh...

My Opinion, it all depends; if they are small value in MS-65 and it cost more to have them graded, do you wanna put more into the coin then worth? If you want them graded and slabbed for collecting and do not mind the loss then go for it If you are wanted to sell them and grading them and placing in...

Example case: I have 4 Morgan silver dollars I got from my grandfather. I thought I hit the jack pot. All are labeled in cardboard folds as UNC GEM and the price he paid back in 1970 which was about 4.50 for each coin. I thought these where worth a lot, after looking all 4 are common dates but if th...

Welcome aboard

I know this is a Mint strike error, it is off center Since the date is not on the coin, it makes it less in value Possible about $2-$5 Dollars as is from what I have looked up etc I know it is a Lincoln Memorial Cent; So has to be 1959 to 2000 (I say 2003 cause was my grandfathers and he didn't coll...

Hello welcome aboard, Good to start out and have a goal, other wise you would be all over the place trying to figure out what sets to collect etc.
Congrats on collecting

wilkinsp21

That is pretty funny

wilkinsp21

First off, it is always exciting to find a cool, different, coin So even if the coin is not worth much, or would lose money if had graded, it is still awesome, don't loose that feeling and keep collecting 1975 will not have silver in the coin But the Mint mark is to be on the reverse of the coin Sor...

Yes thank you!

So when I got back into the coining of coins, I went to the U.S. Mint website to look and possible order some coins https://www.usmint.gov/ After looking on the site, the coins I was looking for where not released yet, I am guessing due to COVID, But I signed up to the "program" I assumed ...

wilkinsp21

My Opinion... I would post one at a time and get answers for that coin, 1. so we can look at the coin and see what you are asking about and see if we can help 2. as to not flood the board all at once with a lot of coins If you have some same questions related to a few coins add those in a post; but ...

wilkinsp21

that is really cool, I have near in person seen an Ancient coin before, congrats!!

welcome aboard

My Opinion:
1881 Morgan, pictures are a little blurry and/or I am old and have a hard time, but looks like S mint mark
Common coin, but still always nice to have them in this or better condition. with the breast feathers on back etc I would say MS-60 ish? about 40 dollars worth
still I like it

wilkinsp21

Nope in some cases taking the single coin out of a set is worth more then the set as a whole Proof coins are the highest standard of coin with an extra finishing and detail provided on Proof coins; produced by The US Mint. Uncirculated coins struck to a similar standard but without the finish others...

Question when you go to bank or did before COVID and get rolls of coins, what would you find? or this for error and modern coins? nothing silver?

wilkinsp21

Welcome,
Funny I am in Georgia, Athens area; not sure what Great Collections is, but I know it is hard to do anything in the area coin related.

wilkinsp21

They are clad sets, always nice to have one imo of each year so show the coins, worth maybe $5-$8 dollars ish IMO they are worth what you think, if that is what you like to collect, Coins are a great hobby, with the history and designs/art work... it happens to be one of the hobbies you can re-sale ...
