Hi. I am going through some proof sets. I started with the 1970 proof sets that I have and came across one that does not have the S mint mark on the Nickel or the other coins. It only has the S on one of the pennies in the set. Are these the proof sets I should be looking for?

I really do not know which proof sets are worth the most. I have several from every year starting from 1963. 

Can someone tell me if they know anything about this coin.

I actually have two pennies that I am interested in finding the value.

Hi I have this penny and would like to know if anyone can tell me the value? 
Im having trouble loading a picture. It says 09-V.B.D v6 250 on the case it’s kept in.

I assume you are talking about the printed star on the album page next to 1877.  The reason 1877 has a star beside it is because it was the second lowest year of mintage for the Indian Head Cent series.  I would be willing to bet there is also a printed star next to the 1909-S slot in your album page because that year was the lowest mintage for the entire Indian Head Cent series. The star is there simply to denote that that year is a 'key' date in the series. The coin itself does not have a star on it, nor should it.  In addition, there is nothing special about the year 1888 as there were many millions struck.  

Thanks for your reply. I most have been on a bad internet page with some bad information. 

Hi.

I have a  complete coin collectors board of Indian head Pennies. I just noticed that the 1888 doesn’t have a star by it. Is the 1888 not as valuable as I had thought? 
it would be good to know because I have a big bag of Indian head pennies to go through. I would hate to miss something good. 

Thank you Conder101. 

That makes sense since the rest of the coin isn’t damaged at all.  I appreciate being schooled on things like this. 
 

Hi.

i was going through some Mercury coins and came across this 1930 Mercury dime with an interesting reverse. I was wondering if it was minted like that or if it’s some kind of damage? 

Hi,

I found this interesting 1987 penny in my coin jar. Is it an error Penny or just damaged?

Hi,

I just came across some envelopes full of silver certificates and some other old paper money. 
Does anyone know a good website like this one that I can trust and that can help with any questions I might have about paper money?

This one board has two missing but I believe it reads “ Have It” so now I just need to find them. Not sure why these two would be stored somewhere else? Any ideas?

1909 -O

1913-S

Your right. This collection is special and we owe it to our great great uncle Reuben Erickson to take care of it. He worked hard to put this collection together. I’m just overwhelmed by it all. I would love to have some help but there is literally to many coins. I wouldn’t know where to start.  Half of his collection is still in a vault at a bank. We have only seen 20 pages of what was put in the safe. 
We have two boxes full of opened and unopened rolls, four bank bags full coins, and over 100 proof sets and uncirculated coin sets. Then we have the albums and the boards. We would love to keep it all together but we feel the need to share it with my brother-in-law and his family. So that is why we are considering selling most of the collection. Anything that can not be divided equally will be sold. This collection caused a bad family feud between my father-in-law and his brother. We don’t want that to happen again. 
I wanted to share some history behind the amazing coin collector. 

I have over fifty coin albums and 20 boards.  Is there a certain one you would like to see?

Hi,

I have two complete Buffalo Nickel albums and this board one. 
How would one go about trying to sell something like this?

Hi,

I have two complete Mercury Dime Albums and One that is half way. I also have a complete coin board.

Should I try to find the best quality coins and put them in one album or should I just leave them alone?

Thanks for the great information and advice.

To be honest I feel like there is to much to learn. Although very interesting history I have too many coins to possibly learn about them all. I feel like some of the coins are getting damaged in there albums and coin boards. 
some of the clear plastic is falling apart. 
Should I find a new way to house the collection? 

Thanks for your reply. I just took a picture of it like you said and just realized it’s a little smaller than a normal wheat penny. It also has an interesting wave in the center that is hard to take a picture of. 

Hi,

I found this 1930 wheat penny that looks Very different from any other penny I have seen. 
I wanted to make sure it wasn’t struck like this. 
Any ideas what could’ve caused this penny to look like this?
