I am not a US coin collecter so please have patience until someone more knowlagable happens along, and yes they have a value De Orc :thumb:
got them from my grandfathers attic. he passed away a few years ago. these have just been lying around...anyone else with any comments? thanks so far guys!
My gosh folks. If that an 1857 large cent in XF (from what I see in the pic) its worth 2 or 3 hundred dollars or more. Is the 2nd pic in the first post a half cent?
Whats the date on the 2 cent piece, Is there a mint mark on the Morgan dolla? The V-nickel looks too coroded to be of value. But these look like pretty nice coins to me. Tell me more about the coin in the first post dated 1856. Is it a half cent?
Don't clean them in any way. Don't rub them, rinse them, or touch the surfaces. Regardless of how well meaning or gentle you are, or how much you think you are improving their appearance, you will destroy much of their value to serious collectors.
the 1856 is a half cent. and judging with an untrained eye, the back looks even better than the front does. the 2 cent piece is dated 1864 (BARELY ledgeable, unfortunately) and the 1857 is indeed a large cent. I would like to agree with your XF rating
These are nice coins. The half cent is also desirable to the tune of more than 50 or 60 dollars. These are my opinions based on the pics.
Right coast, On the back of the morgan dollar dated 1892 under the eagle, are there any letters such as s, o, or cc?
