<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beatsbyave, post: 2031206, member: 72937&quot;]i live in pennsylvania and im an amateur coin collecter. theres a local coin shop i go to often and find incredibly rare pieces coming from both the mint in philadelphia and the franklin mint as well. i have a nice collection gathered so far. today i bought a piece that struck my eye. i would like some information on it if anybody can help me please. i do not have a picture or camera to show u guys, so ill provide any information possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>the coin is a walking liberty half dollar minted in philadelphia, the date is 1943, the dealer sold it to me for the silvers value of $10, but the coin is not only silver. the coin is 90% fine gold and 10% silver. the front of the coin with the walking liberty is pure gold, the backside with the eagle is pure silver. the coin is in mint condition, fine details, perfect appeal, not a scratch or mark on it. from the side view of the coin it is 90% gold, and the backside is the 10% of silver from the side view of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>can anybody determine the value of this coin? it is not a fake, ive had several pcgs, anacs, and ngc certified dealers take a look at it and they all agree its genuine and was really minted that way.</p><p><br /></p><p>what appeals to me is the fact that 1943 was the notorious date that the steel penny was introduced due to a shortage of copper being used for ww2. so finding a copper penny from 1943 can bring in big bucks because it was not supposed to be minted that year.</p><p><br /></p><p>is finding a gold and silver coin rare due to that same ww2 shortage on 1943? besides the fact that it was minted in 2 precious metals together on a walking liberty half.</p><p><br /></p><p>i know i will have to get it graded soon, but what do u guys think? what could the value possibly be? im very curious!</p><p><br /></p><p>i have several other coins that im curious about the value of as well... can anybody help me?...</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; liberty V nickle 1883 P with &quot;no cents&quot; error on back, mint conidition, no scratches, perfect condition like new</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; an encased set of 1943 Steel Pennies, all mint coniditon uncirculated, hasnt been removed from case for over 20 years. the set includes 1 penny from Philadelphia mint, 1 from Denver mint, and 1 from San Francisco mint. all the pennies are in perfect mint condition, no scratches, nice as shiny, no rust or ware, uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; a 1943 P Mercury Dime in perfect condition</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; i also put together my own little set of wheat pennies in a case that includes 1941 P, 1941 S, 1942 D, 1943 P (steel), 1943 D (steel), 1943 S (steel), 1944 D (copper), 1944 S (copper), also in the set i included a Canadian 1 Cent copper from 1939 and a Great Britian Large One Penny cent dated 1944. everything in that set that i put together is in mint conidition, uncirculated, no scratches or nicks, and very appealing.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; a 1883 P Morgan Silver Dollar with the VAM10 Sextuple Stars Error (stars have doubling when looked at closely and date is widened on the numbers 188, but 3 is almost normal) the condition of this coin is fine to very fine. very good details, no scratches or ware, no toning, but not mint condition</p><p><br /></p><p>can anybody tell me the possible value of everything that i listed? i know i have to get it appraised soon, but im just curious about how much everything could possibly be worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>thank you all very much for ur time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
