4 coins I could use a little help on. Are they worth anything?

Nickel 194? Can't see the last number because there is 2 zeros covering it. What looks like a half a zero (C) on his face and also on the bottom of the first T of trust. Back side under E. Pluribus Unum there are the numbers 3 2 7 stamped in.

Next one is a 1943 penny.

Third one is an 1898 penny.

Last is a 1905 penny.

I have no idea if these are worth anything. There are 4 coins that Mom let us have to look up from Grandpa's collection. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Anna

The nickel has damage, so no value. The two indian head cents not worth much, $1 each at most. What color is the 1943 cent? It appears copper. If it is copper, you need to take that coin to a dealer or expert on coins since it would be an extreme rarity. It should be zinc plated steel. If it is silver colored, its value would be around $1.

Again, if the 43 appears copper colored, either someone tampered with it or its worth a LOT of money, like in the hundreds of thousands.

The nickel is dated 1941. Not sure about the overstamps ...

 

Is the 1943-D Cent attracted to a magnet? If so it is a normal Steel Cent and worth only a few cents. If not, like Chris said, it could be worth quite a lot.

 

Thank you so much. I have no idea what I am dealing with, so any info is much appreciated. The 43 is well, idk, I put it between a quarter and a penny, and it wasn't either of those colors. Do you know why someone would put those letters and numbers on the nickel?

 

Check out that newb post! I'll get the hang of it, I promise

 

Ok, so it sticks to a magnet. Guess they are all not worth much. Thanks guys for your quit replies. Will be back if she has more for me to look up.

 

People deface coins all of the time. Sometimes kids just like to use metal punches on coins. There are tons of these floating around. Anything done to a coin after it leaves the mint is considered damaged and ruins the value of the coin.

Do you have a color pic of the 43 cent? Or like Hobo suggested check to see if it sticks to a magnet. If it sticks its a steel cent and worth about a dollar.

I have quite a few pennies from the 1940's that don't stick to a magnet. No 1943's, but a 1944 and a few others. Is it just the 1943 that would be worth having someone look at?

 

The 1943 cent was made from zinc coated steel. Any 1943's should stick to a magnet. Any other date shouldn't. I was asking about this lady's since the photo looked like a regular cent color. There were a tiny few 1943's struck on regular cent flans, and a few 1944's struck on steel flans. These errors are well known and very valuable.
