The value of the gold plating is zero, because the cost of the performing the process to salvage the plating is higher than the value of the...
I'm pretty sure the tombac ones were partway through 1942 and 1943. 1944-45 are steel or something like that. They rust.
Depends on the grades, and I haven't bought anything new for my Canadian nickels lately, but I'd say that 25 cents each would be top for the...
I would agree, if Canada didn't have that old bag on the reverse of every coin. The most recent Elizabeth II design is lame.
Wow, so much misinformation in this thread. Readers beware. But yeah, it sounds like it must be Mexico.
All fairly common, as far as I know. The 1944 has a V for Victory, made of zinc coated steel I beleive, but I don't have any reference materials...
They've already been cleaned. That caused the hairlines on the front, and the crud in the small crevasses on the reverse is what's left over from...
1952. Started appearing on coins in 1953. Though, the pendant is a rendition of the profile that began appearing on coins in 1965, and ran...
I'm pretty sure that's just a fantasy piece from a charm bracelet or something like that. But hopefully somebody proves me wrong.
That one is a bit grody. I have a few I need to take photos of, that are kinda bad.
For you edge searchers out there, watch out for something like these: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Lousy cell phone pick, but you can see the edges. They...
My proof is uglier than yours... and here's my proof: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The pic is a bit blurry, but that that is an S mintmark. I think it spent...
Got a cent box with 4 (5 if you count the double ender), but only photographed the first two rolls I found: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] The two enders on...
Yes, you should get a red book. They're cheap. Barnes and Noble, amazon.com, wherever. Older editions are even cheaper. But getting some...
Season 1 is on netflix. It's a great show. Really excited for the rest of season 3.

Not if you made it for a reason other than to pass it off as a real cent in commerce. Magician's coin perhaps?
And if you can find G-4 or 6 peace dollars for $10-15, scoop them alllll up. That's way below melt.
To elaborate on a previous post, this was damaged by the machines that wrap coins in rolls. When they crimp the ends, it often puts a ring around...
Acid bath. The nickel is more resilient than the copper, and the core appears to recede from the edges.
