Message:: [QUOTE="Hobo, post: 1127604, member: 11521"]David, That's a LONG list of items you have there. At a quick glance nothing rare or especially valuable stood out except, as Gman pointed out, the 1914-D Lincoln Cent. Being a rare coin the 1914-D Lincoln is heavily counterfeited. A common way to fake the coin is to alter a 1944-D by changing the first '4' in the date to a '1'. The quickest way to determine if you have an altered 1944-D is determine if the designer's initials VDB are located on the truncation of Lincoln's bust. If the intials are there (or if they have been removed) the coin is most definitely NOT a genuine 1914-D Lincoln. edit Also, the value of your coins will be determined by their condition. If any of your coins are uncirculated they may have some collector value. For most of the coins if they are circulated they are worth their metal content of face value (maybe slightly more).[/QUOTE]
