Why a picture with all of it in there. Or a couple pictures covering all the coins.

 

Not too bad, and I bet you had a great time looking through them! Did you check that 1888 IH for 8/7 variety?

 

So true. What other varieties lurke in these un-seen(by us) coins - time to get your cherry pickers guide out yorkiedad. Make sure the 1912 liberty nickel does not have a mint mark. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head - and I would have to bend down to pick up my cherry pickers guide.

 

Well, depending on how they grade out, it could have been worse. Where do the Indian heads and V Nickels grade? The Lincolns are all high mintages. The 44 nickel is worth about 0.40 in VF. The over-sized Kennedy half is probably a novelty piece. The bi-centenials are worth face. The big question is, would you do it again? Was it worth the $26 gamble?

I bought a nice rose toned, maybe MS-65, 1950-D nickel with awesome luster at the show on Sunday for $22.00. But whatever floats your boat!

 

whats a 8/7 variety? what if the 1912 nickel has a mint mark? have to go check now. the first pic i will put up is of the half dollars

 

Overdate variet. The last 8 in the date was punched over a 7. Not very obvious though and very hard to spot. I'd post a closeup of the date and let the experts see it. If the 1912 is an S it's worth about $150 in G-4.

 

here are the half dollars and the v nickel--, you know what I think it was just an optical illusion with the halfs, they look the same now, also the 1912 does have the (D) mint mark-- does that mean anything? still a rookie guys so you will get alot of questions, thanks--BILL-- and oh ya, this was so much fun , I will definitly do it again-- sorry the indian head was an 1989, not 88 sry

 

The D mint mark makes it worth more than no mint mark. On the obverse can you read any letters in "liberty?"

 

nope no liberty on any of em

 

Okay. Just trying to get a rough idea of a grade. So I'd say the 1912-D Liberty is worth $3-4. Let's tally up the others!

 

this is for MARK h--- here is a pic of all the coins, let me know if you want close ups on them------ how about this little piece of copper from canada? its says 1 gram, .999 pure copper. how much for this little thing?

 

I say:

Purchasing some coins on Ebay-$26.

Getting to look them over and share with friends on Coin Talk-Priceless.

 

you are very right, jallengomez, sharing this adventure with my friends here makes it all worth while and very enjoyable for me. and to think we just started. I will need all the help I can get because all I know are pennies, and I dont know alot about them either.--BILL

this pic will zoom in

 

It's worth 0.98 melt value. Plus my current RB puts VF value at $1.00.

 

Nice stuff Bill. Can you post close ups of the IHC coins you got.

 

You're right on both counts. My mistake.

As far as the copper bar goes, it looks like copper is $2.93/lb today. 1 gram of copper = 0.0022 lbs. Going by spot, it's worth $0.06. You'd think they would lose money making those things.

 

It's just cool to me though. I'd pay a buck for it! Never seen a copper bar before. Must have been made when copper was at record levels.
