I was just curious as to if this coin is worth anything are is it just pocket change? My grandfather passed and I got all of his change through his house. I truly no nothing about any of this and should I just cash it all in or what lol!!!!
the 1944 is worth close to $10, everything else in the photos looks like pretty common coins and will probably not go for anything other than face value
Ok I have one more question and thanks you guys for helping me out by the way I really appreciate it. It this quarter suppose to look like this
you're talking about the slight doubling effect on the characters right? that looks to me like Die Deterioration Doubling where over time the die that is used to strike the coin starts wearing down and making mistakes in the lettering, if so its not worth much, maybe $1.75. I'm not 100% sure that this is what you have, I would also get the opinion of a couple more experienced members just to be sure... Perhaps @paddyman98 ?
Yes, it looks fine. Some of the doubling is from the strike and some of it came from the die due to its aging.
Since no one else has thought to ask, what dates are the wheat pennies? Never know what your Grandad was smart enough to stash!
Hi Candace and welcome to the forum. I love grandad coin stashes. I have my grandmothers coin stash still in her little leather purse tucked safely away with the rest of my collection....... Hard to tell what grandad has in that bag but he chose to keep it for a reason. The cents dated prior to 1959 are wheat cents and are quite collectible, though most don’t have great intrinsic value. And dimes, halves and quarters prior to 1965 are 90% silver and do carry a very nice premium I case you happen to run across any of those. Looks like most is common clad coinage and small dollars that will be worth face value.
I have at Least 9 wheat pennies dated prior to that way older than that actually I didn't even no they were anything at all I was ganna use them at the store honestly I don't think these coins need to be with me I'm not smart when it comes to them and alot of you guys really appreciate them.
hey Candace Burden welcome to CT. if you have coin clubs and/or coin shows close to where you live, contact them about your coins and offer to donate them to kids that are just now starting to collect coins. ive seen a few times at shows that some kids are recognized as being new collectors. just a thought.....
