I have three circulated but in really good condition like new and I have one uncirculated native american doller with sacawagia on the front 2013-d and two others that are circulated but both still like new and two wheat pennys like new and three bicentennial tin drummer boy coin like me but circulated
The bicentennial quarters were made out of copper-nickel clad planchets similar to modern dimes, quarters and half dollars. They were also made out of silver in both business strike and proof versions. It is no doubt that many of the silver business strike coins made their way into circulation, but it is very unlikely (if not impossible) that you have one made of tin. I appreciate the offer of sending me one, but I have plenty.
For updated pricing, use Heritage Auctions, eBay and NGC/PCGS guides. You can access them all via the web.
Here are a couple of decent price guides I use.. http://www.coinsociety.com/priceguide http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml Use these to get your estimates..
Coinsociety - The first price guide you list is absolutely awful for what I collect and is using eBay searches for "CA" for cameo. Instead, it is pulling results that are from "California" and non cameo coins or those that are listed as "light cameo" but clearly missing the designation. As such, its prices are nowhere even close to accurate for better coins, deflating the true value. Another favorite of mine is using 3c nickel pricing for a proof cameo Liberty Head Nickel resulting in a grossly distorted price value. It is also very high on common generic coins, however. Because it does not actually have any sort of quality control to verify that the prices mined from sales records are accurate, I find it worthless. Numismedia - Numismedia is notoriously high on many coins, particularly those that are more common. I wouldn't put much faith in either guide you listed.
Google will say anything that a publisher wants it to say. Believe it or not, there is a lot of misinformation on Google. If you send me your address Matty via PRIVATE MESSAGE, NOT IN THIS PUBLIC POST, I will trade a Liberty nickel to you. They are old, they are not rare, it is very rare to find them in circulation, certain issues may be rare in higher conditions. In your message, let me know what you propose to trade. As far as price guides, I agree with many already listed here. I would highly recommend buying 'The Official Red Book - A Guide Book of United States Coins ' - its a great place to start for novice and experienced collectors alike, or let your dad know its on your birthday wishlist.
No such thing, they're all gold plated by someone outside of the U.S. Mint. Thus, they are altered coins, so they are worth less than an unplated coin.
