Do not know about you half pennies, but the rest of what you have is not particularly valuable unless it is in great condition. The 1851 dime could be worth $20+ (condition?). However, the "lincoln one cent bronze 1943" (if you have a real one, which I doubt) probably starts at about $10,000. You need to see if it is magnetic. Then it is not bronze and not worth much. One caution - DO NOT CLEAN THE COINS - REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK THEY LOOK LIKE.
coin and just for the record my lincoln one cent is magnetic i guess i need to visit a coin specialist :hail:. What about a abraham lincoln memorial coin dated 1861 or harry s truman memorial coin 1953
I would be interested in knowing more about these coins. Check them a little more closely. 43 is probably steel. I don't know about the 1814. Rhubarb
coin thanks for the teacher maybe you might when i get a fish to the front of my coin it says 1981 abraham lincoln 1865 and to the back it says the time he was born to when he died it is gold in colour
Is it a commeerative coin? No pun inteded on my fish statement. Coin collecting is a learning curve on everyone's part. I myself still have a lot to learn. Rhubarb
in the back it says born feb 12th 1809 the great emancipator brought the nation through the geatest crisis,the civil war proclaimed the first thanksgiving day died april 15th 1865 the sized is a little bigger than a fifty peace and gold in colour and the harry s truman coin is the same way

Try and post some photos. We really can't say much untill we know what grades they are in. Just saying Good Shape isn't that helpful. The US uses a 70 point grading system. Since the little info you posted about the 1943 copper color cent----I'm sure it is fake. Speedy
Powers: Welcome to the forum, and you really have to post some pictures. Saying that the coins are in 'good' condition is not very accurate. Unless you have a grading guide. Good condition is not a high grade, in fact it is pretty low. So, good to you is bad to us.
