  1. I know that there is a 1959 wheat cent. 

    Could the mint have struck a 1958 cent with a Lincoln Memorial reverse?

    Reason why I'm asking is I've found one, and honestly don't have a clue if it's real or a fake. 

    I'm not posting a picture of it until I have done research on it. 

    Just want some honest advice and opinions. 

  2. I know that there's a satin finish on the 2010 cent. Is it possible that the mint screwed up and accidentally minted several 2019 cents with the same finish? Reason why I'm asking is that I opened up a roll today,  and found one possibility two with what looks like a satin finish on them. Can't submit any pictures right now, but will soon. 

  3. I've done my in depth research,  and it states that ALL Canadian nickels in the proof sets are made of nickel. The one I have,  which is still in the protective package along with the other coins released in 1964, is made of steel.

     I found this out by accident when I was using a magnet to test other coins in my collection.

     Any information on what to do would be appreciated. 

  4. Coin was passed down through the family since 1911. In last 5 years,  I've had offers ranging from the melt value up into the 30k range.  

     Already know it's genuine, my question is, "should I hang onto it, or get it graded and sell it"?

    Hi I am not a collector of coins I inherited a bag of wheat pennies and Lincoln pennies all different dates does anyone know where I can take the whole bag to get valued and trust who is doing to be honest. These were my grandma's who recently passed and she was a collector of antiques and she had these. I would love to have them valued by an expert because I have no idea about coins but from Google and it's to much to googleamd to many different coins I live in Texas but don't know what kind of shop or person to take these to who won't lie or try to get over on me . Plus it's quite a chore going thru these things please any advice is welcome

     

     

    If you was in Kentucky,  I'd suggest Mid America Rare coin galleries in Lexington,  Jeff Garrett is very well known in the field.

  6. The other day I got some change back after a transaction and noticed that the country roll wrapper said U.S.Mint on it, one of the quarters given to me in change had a mirror finish and no scratches.

    1967 by date.

    I've looked online to see if it was a proof...nope, none were struck for that year. The coin facts guide I have downloaded doesn't have anything graded above a MS 69, and that's not like what I have.

    Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
