    curious if anyone could tell me the value of my collection and where I could sell it 20200718_204553.jpg 20200718_204553.jpg 20200718_204616.jpg 20200718_204620.jpg 20200718_205110.jpg 20200718_204553.jpg 20200718_204553.jpg 20200718_204616.jpg 20200718_204620.jpg 20200718_205110.jpg 20200719_161759.jpg 20200719_161807.jpg 20200718_205132.jpg 20200718_205128.jpg 20200718_205110.jpg 20200718_204620.jpg 20200718_204616.jpg

    Welcome. Most of those are going to be worth a couple of cents. Some are face value. The Indian heads maybe a buck or two.

    I would hang on to them.

    Me thinks you ask too much sir. I for one would not spend my time scrutinizing that many coins. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

    I would say every wheat from 1930 to 1958 is worth around 5 cents each. Wheats from 1909 to 1930 are worth more like 15 cents each average, and a 1909 in ok condition is around 2 dollars. The IHC are about 1 dollar each. Any penny that isn't a wheat is worth face value, or 1 cent. Look out for the key dates such as 1909, 1909 S, 1909 VDB, 1909 S VDB, 1914 D, 1922, 1931 S, and any 10's or 20's with an S. If you have one of those then it could be worth in the range of 20 dollars up to 100+ depending on the date and grade. As the others said, just hold on to the late wheats because they aren't worth the bother of selling them.

    There was a news report of a bank somewhere giving customers $5 cash for every $100 coins they brought in.

    that would likely be the approximate profit margin for your collection.


    However, don’t let this discourage you. Coin collecting is a great hobby and very fun. You don’t need to collect incredibly valuable coins.

    I specialize in Roman coins and I’ve never paid more then $21 for any single coin. The majority of my collection is in the $0.70 to $2.50 range.

    The 1868 Indian cent is probably worth more than all the rest combined. It is hard to see the actual condition but I would guess it is worth $30 or a bit more.

    I dunno, if you have about 100 of the lincoln cents, maybe 4-5 dollars without going into details and dates and all that jazz looking for something more valuable. Assuming they are all common dates and nothing special.

    The indian head cents, Really need a specialist on these, I don't collect them. but
    the 1903, maybe a couple dollars.
    The 1868, if legit and "problem free" might have some decent value to it, but again indian cents aren't my field at all, and don't quote me, but I think that's a better date coin and could be $30.00-$50.00 itself depending on how you sell it????

    I'm with @l.cutler and @John Burgess -- I see a lot of wheat cents, a common Indian cent, and an 1868 Indian cent. I don't have time to squint at the wheats for better dates, but 1868 definitely is one. I suspect from the photos that it's environmentally damaged and cleaned, but it's still worth tens of dollars in the right venue.

    With that many coins it would be best to take them to your local coin dealer.
