What a collection!!!!! hello everyone. Well, just thought I would post some great findings and a few coins I have never seen before. Today i was finally given the chance to view, and catalog my grandmothers coin collection that i have been waiting to see for so long. It was amazing to see such a great group of coins, and as soon as i can get to home computer i will absolutely post some pics. Here is a list of what she had: 12 merc dimes. 1920-1945. No 1921. 1 1943 liberty walking half 1 1935 buffalo nickle 1 1937 buff nickle 1 1889 liberty head nickle 1 1906 liberty head nickle 7 1964 Kennedy half dollars 6 franklin half dollars 1948-1963 1 1943 steel cent 1 1906 ihc 1 1897 ihc 7 Washington quarters 1946-1964 (there use to be many more of these, but a bad family member stole from her a few years back) 105 Roosevelt dimes 1946-1964 1 1924 peace dollar 5 1925 peace dollars 1 1884 o Morgan 1 1889 Morgan 1 1890 Morgan 1 1900 Morgan 21 1921 Morgans the significance of the 1921 is that the day my grand mother was born, my great grandfather went out and picked up 21 Morgans to signify the year of her birth 8/1921. Now for some questions. Also in this collection were 2 coins I had never seen or heard of before. One was a 1946 gold Roosevelt dime, and the other was a 1964 gold Kennedy half that came in a case with kennedy's years he was alive, and the famous ask not what your country can do for you speech at the bottom of the case. Anyone know what these two gold coins are? Thanks Greg

Hello Greg. Those two "gold" coins are gold plated and sold as novelty items. There is no real numismatic value to them since this was done outside of the mint.
The gold half and dime are plated coins made and sold by novelty companies. Sentimental value = priceless - numismatic value = 0.
