  1. 2065? Slightly ahead of its time. Like Studebaker
  2. This coin was zinc coated. There are examples of Chrome plating missing on some and this may be one of those but even at that only worth a dollar or so. https://coinsandcanada.com/
  3. Canada did away with their penny in 2014. Frankly I don’t see any reason we should keep it either.
  4. I wouldn’t suspect any reprocessed 1943 cents. There are a lot of nice ones out there. Here are my three in graded form. Value on each is $27-30
  5. Wow, what an incredible honor and task! Can you give us some photos of some coins, obverse and reverse? Are any of the coins graded by a third party grading service IE: NGC,PCGS, ANACS, etc, are they just loose, in albums, coin capsules, slabs? gold, Silver, platinum, CuNi? I would start by separating by type and face value. A daunting task, but you will need to take good close up cropped photos of every coin. Safely store those images on a thumb drive. Make sure you have adequate insurance coverage on the collection. May be guess at first. Keep the collection in a safe. If you don’t have one, get one. You could obtain a professional ANA certified appraisal done by a licensed professional. At least try to list them in a spreadsheet for a list. I catalogued over 80,000 baseball cards for my son last year. It took me six months, but Excel had no problem with that number of lines. good luck. Look up American Numismatic Association professionals and you might want to even hire an attorney to help you with the valuation and appraisal. My wife and I discussed this very issue a month or so ago, and it got us both thinking about it, however I don’t own but a dozen albums and around a hundred graded coins and several hundred loose coins in flips, slabs, and capsules.
  6. I thought you already had all the war nickels. Found in change or CRH? Or purchased? nice Nicks though
  7. Hello, It looks like a United Arab Republic Draham close to what is shown here: https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/world/united-arab-emirates-50-fils-km-16-1415-1995-1428-2008-cuid-1072565-duid-1525919 https://banknotecoinstamp.com/en-us/collections/coins-by-countries/products/united-arab-emirates-50-fils-used-coin
  8. Nothing outstanding here. A set of five very fine for $20 on eBay
  9. A friend took the image last week, I added a little more patriotism to it.
  10. Wow! I don’t think I have ever seen one of those! Great swaggin wagon!
  11. That’s the Ole Smokin Gun version.. sorry just a hit from the edge of another coin.
  12. Actually Karen, it’s not all that bad. Just a tad out of focus on top and the lighting is too harsh from the top. But still can see that die crack clearly. Sorry about your phone. You can always play around with your scanner if you have one.
  13. Ethennewguy Welcome to the forum. AnD THANK YOU for your service to our country !. Coin interest is a great hobby!. Rad through the forums and you will find some great posts about coins, value, errors etc. If you like graded coins it is often less expensive to purchase already graded coins that someone else paid the fees for. In the case of dealers grading in bulk, this can save you money. As an example, I just bought a PCGS 2023 Silver Eagle MS70 for $47. The coin cost $37 from the mint so I got a graded one for just $10 more. Ebay is a major marketplace for coins, but be wary of raw coins and people play tricks with them to bait you into buying their coin. Great Collections and Heritage Auctions are another resource. I'm an OLD vet, and started about three years ago. Still enjoy it, still buy way too much, spend way to much time on it, but it is worth it. As far as errors, are concerned, you can access https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus/united-states/ Use the pricing guides on NGC and coin explorer and on PCGS use Coin Values and PHOTO grade to learn. Here's the thing, Coin errors are not hard t find but determining which ones might be important is. Good Luck and glad you found something to take an interest in.
  14. No VkurtB I don’t think as a rule most numismatists are gullible at all. They are the most skeptical . However there is a scam a minute and somebody is proliferating it, China, the Russians, North Korea, the mob, IDK but there isn’t a day that goes by without seeing some sort of ridiculous SUPER,Fanastic, outstanding deal that is too good to be true. Today I saw a DeWalt drill set for $2.99 and a Milwaukee tool set free! Yes I have fallen for a few in my time, but the best advice I have ever received is “If it is too good to be true, IT IS.
  15. Both not any kind of error. Welcome to the forum. The dollar is the famous Eagle puking in flight! Haha, no just some kind of post mint damage. The Lincoln is suffering from delamination of the copper surface from the zinc base due to heat having been applied to it.
  16. I noticed that Sandon. I got a terrific price on this early production coin.
