Hi, (my first post ) I just inherited some coins that i think are interesting and may bring in more than one cent. 1.Canadian Penny 1967- Eagle on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other 2.U.S penny 1952- Liberty is spelled LIBERTIY with an extra I sized protusion where the extra i is. 3.Canadian penny 1946- it has Georgivs VI D G . Rex IND . IMP on one side 4. U.S Penny 1910- Very Very good condition. 5. U.S Pennies- Ranging from 1941 to 1953 (at least 20) with little tiny D's under the year 6. U.S Pennies- 30 Ranging from 1914-1920 7. I dont know what country its from but it has Un Centavo Gramos 1963 on the front and Centario De la Retaur Cron de la Republica Thats pretty much it....im kinda intrigued by coin collecting and think its kinda fun, i will use this site again im sure.
Well, first off, welcome to CoinTalk! Secondly, here's a breakdown of what kinds of values we're talkin' here: 1. That 1967 penny from Canada is from their 125-year anniversary, I believe, and is actually pretty common. I'll take it yours is circulated, and so it's actually worth a little less than a cent (because Canadian coins are worth less than their US counterparts.) 2. This one you'd need to post a picture on so that we know what you're talking about. If it's a die crack (a raised spot of metal where the die used to punch the coin has cracked or chipped), it could be worth a small premium to the right buyer. But again, post a picture on the website so we know exactly what you have. 3. A 1946 Canadian penny is also around one cent unless it's in Fine or higher grade. By this I mean that the design needs to be sharp, and there can't be any damaging scratches or nicks and dents in it. Even so, it's not worth any more than a nickel or so to a dealer. 4. 1910 penny, huh? If it's in very, very good condition as you say it could be worth a slight premium because of its age. If you could post a picture of this one too, we could accurately determine its grade and give you an estimate of its value. 5. Dealers buy rolls (50 cents worth) of 1940-1958 pennies (without the little D - known as a mintmark from the Denver mint - and with it or a little S from the San Francisco mint) for about $0.80-$0.90 each, so each one is usually worth about 1 1/2 - 2 cents each. 6. Here's where it gets a little tricky: if you have a 1914 with a D mintmark, you should get it professionally looked at right away, because if it's real, that one is pretty valuable. Otherwise, some of them have premiums, and some don't. Most are about 10-40 cents each in OK circulated condition. 7. This one I haven't any idea about, and if you could post it's photograph, we could probably identify it easily! Hope this has helped some! ~AJ
Welcome. I also inherited a number of coins. I think you will have fun learning about them. I know that I have. If you have a digital camera you can take pictures and post. I think a scanner might be easier to use. I have not managed to take a good picture with a camera yet, but I am still trying.
The last one is from a South or Central American country (other than Brazil), but I can't recall offhand which one(s) use the "gramos" ("grams") designation. The legend indicates that it celebrates the 100th anniversary of something to do with the Republic, but all of my on-line translators choke on the words "Retaur Cron" , and if they don't know, I certainly don't. Maybe there's a member who's more up on Latin American history than I am, and knows which of those countries had an 1863 event worth commemorating on a coin.
Its actually Canada's centenial, 1992 was Canada's 125 year anniversary. Still very common, and can still be found in circulation.
Yeah-I'd agree with jperry that you sould use a scanner. However-I have heard that taking a picture into a telescope or even binoculars can really supersize the image when you have a small detail that needs to really be looked at. Probably the... 2.U.S penny 1952- Liberty is spelled LIBERTIY with an extra I sized protusion where the extra i is. ...however I don't know. Anyways, after you have the picture scan it and save it in major folder (i.e. MY DOCUMENTS). Then come to this thread and hit 'POST REPLY' and write whatever you want to in the message and then go down to where it says 'Manage Attachments' under 'Additional Options' and then just follow the directions on the new window that opens. I don't really know if you needed all this information-you probably could have done it only with jperry's advice. If you didn't need it-then sorry for filling your thread with useless junk! Bill
