Ziplock bag number 3, all American.

Well except for one coin that seems to say Ten centavos from the Philippines.

I hope I am not boring you guys...I'm having fun.

Well, ya seen one dateless, hoplessly worn Buffalo ya seen them all!!

 

Unfortunately it looks to me like it's all junk. No key dates or super rarities like that 1803 dime.

 

Ok. I dint know they made a 1943 steel penny...? The one in the picture seems rusted.

 

Yes - because of the need for copper during WWII - they used zinc coated steel pennies in 43. When the zinc coating wore off, the underlying steel planchet rusted!

 

I'm not a special US coin expert but it looks like all metal value and rough space fillers there. The British Churchill crowns are very common and not silver.

Better luck with the rest. Sorry I could not at least select one or two worth-while coins from this lot.

PS. You managed to get some of the pictures linked. Try to remember what you did and do it again, it makes checking through such a pile of pictures much faster.

 

Ok.
I didn't expect much with the rest, I still find this interesting though.

As far as linking, I did the same procedure for each group, I wonder if a website issue?


Might I mention I really like this sites layout.

 

Well about 45$ melt value for the silver and the 1913 Barber dime looks in pretty good condition - mabe 5 to 7$! So if the bag was a gimme then that's not too bad.

 

What, did everybody else miss that 1896-S dime (fifth post, fourth item)? Bit of damage on the reverse, but that's certainly still a solid two-figure coin at least. Numismedia lists $85 in G; I'm guessing this one would go at least $40-50.

 

Agreed, I like the 1913 Barber, nice details. I also love the World's Fair Token; I'd love to own that one! Also, the US Mint did mint some coins for the Philippines. In fact, yours was minted in Denver, Colorado.

 

Also, might be a good idea to re-explain the whole ziplock bags in each post for those who are not up to speed.

 

Yes - first time I got into this thread - Please " 'splain Lucy" about the ziplock bags!! Gotta go out and snowblow the rest of the driveway in MINUS 10 temps! Good thing I welded a beer holder onto the handle
