hey everyone, i've got a coin collection that was given to me by my grandpa and i'm hoping to figure out what coins are worth investigating. i don't want to post pictues of all of the coins only to find that one or two are valuable, so i was hoping if i posted a list that I might be able to narrow it down a little. 1831, 1838, 1853 U.S. One Cent Piece 1902, 1903 (2), 1904, 1905 (2), 1906, 1944 U.S. One Cent Piece 1916 Republica de Colimbia Cincuenta Centavos 1918 Republique Francaise 50 Centimes 1918, 1943 British Half Penny 1979 British New Penny 1979 (5) U.S. One Dollar Pieces 1955 British Shilling 1938 Confoederatio Helvetica 20 Piece (Swiss) 1916 One Florin UK thank you!
The large one cent pieces start out at about $10 each in low grades, unless they are damaged. The value of the Indian head cents depends on their grade, but if they are in average condition they sell for $1 to $1.50. The British half pennies sell for around 20 to 25 cents, maybe more if they are in exceptional condition. The 1979 dollar coins are worth a dollar each, unless they are special condition or are "near dates". The 1955 shilling is a discontinued denomination that was made in copper-nickel, and it might sell for around 15 to 20 cents unless it is in exceptional condition. The 1916 florin contains about 1/3 of an ounce of silver and is worth about $10 for its silver content (more if the coin is in exceptional condition)
