    stinais19 -

    While the coins you list are indeed collectible - for the most part they are considered to be fairly common and would not be condsidered valuable unless they were in Uncirculated condition. In the condition you describe - which doesn't really mean very much to a collector most of the coins would only be worth perhaps a dollar or so. One or two of them may be worth a bit more - some less.

    If you can provide pics or scans of the coins members here would be better able to judge the grade of the coins and provide you with more accurate information.

    Hi stinais!, just a friendly correction here...the 1943 penny is a steel penny, not silver ;)

    Regards,

    well, the 1941, 1916, 1930, and 1934 penny are worth around 0.35 cents in VG condition. the 1958 nickel is worth a mere 10 cents. while these particular coins are not very valueable, I will continue to check teh other coins for prices

    p.s. you should definetely read the RED BOOK or BLACK BOOK on this matter.

    Wow Chevy, what Red book do you have? If you can get 35 cent for a 41 wheaty in VG I have a bunch to sell. My red book shows 1916 VG 20 cents, 1930 & 34 Vg 10 cents. The 41 shows no premimum for anything less than VF and thats 10 cents. These coins sound like a good starter set, all collectable but not a lot of value.
    The 1897 IH in Vg is $2, The 34 Buffalo nickel in VG is 85 cents. The 58 Jefferson nickel Is one of the tougher finds if your putting together a set from circulation.

    thanks for the correction, Dockwalliper

    I was actually checking the blackbook (a mistake), which actually has prices WAY off of what the accurate Red Book says

    thanks !!!

    oh, and by the way,

    are 1958 nickels somewhat rare? I have a couple but Im not really into nickels (other than the wartimes)

    I believe you were thinking about the 1950-d that is the top listed in price at $4.50 in VG-8 (other than the errors).....I see that the 1939-d is up to $3.50 in VG-8.

    I'd be very careful about trusting ANY of the values in the Red Book. Sometimes they are way too high - sometimes they are way too low. I don't know that I've seen a value listed in the Red Book that was accurate since I got my first copy in 1960.

    oh, yeah, it was the 1950

    thanks for the correction (ive been making so many mistakes today)

    the black books have prices even more unrelieable than the redbook

    You are absolutely correct. The 1958 Philadelphia nickel is one of the toughest to find in circulation. I've put together many circulation sets, and often wind up buying that one.

    Just as a rough example, any Jefferson dated after 1950 doesn't even rate a bid/ask price.
    Any other date not offered in BU rolls wouldn't even get an email reply.
    But hey, that is just one dealers opinion. :D

    Cheech9712 Every thing is a guess

    I still need a found 1944-S. Been all around a 44S. But never found one. Someone gave me 2. But they don’t count and I don’t have them anymore either
