Abe was 38 when this coin came out I believe.We were at war with Mexico when this came out. 1847. Future President Zachary Taylor was a war hero and a general during that war.

1959 proof set should have only cost you about $55. They should be left in their original package. 1959 Unc set should be about $40 or so. You need to get a red book. The 1976 3 coin set is nice but it's about $25. The other non silver sets go for about $4 to $6 each. I'm just finishing up buying up the Proof and unc sets. 1955 proof set I got for $100 and the 1956 one I got for $50. 1957 to 1964 should be about $30 $40 tops for a really clean set. Find a local coin store and shop there. You should keep the 1959 set in the original envelope. Take the $153 you were going to spend on grading and buy a few more silver proof sets.

It's sunday now. Did you get the 10K?

I'd pay you 100% silver melt. Get down to OC Much? Interested in the pre 64 quarters and barber dimes especially. If you want to hold some for your family I would suggest keep the Morgan's and Peace dollars. Those I would think are the easiest to sell and the best to keep. The Mint sets you can get very cheap. Pre 1964 for about $25 if in good shape and after that as little as $4 each. 1955 mint set I paid $100 the other day. 1956 I paid $35. The blue envelope and brown box silver dollar go for $10 each. American Eagle's go for $50 at my store. 1994 I believe goes for more. Hard to tell what shape the Indian Head nickels are in but the early ones do very well. 1913 - 1925. Hard to tell from the photos. Roosevelt dimes are worth $2.19 1964 and before. The ones after that are worth .10. Rolls of BU wheat pennies are worth about $20 to $40. 1940's to 1950's. If you have earlier red cents pre 1930 those could be worth money. The last photo you got to get that coin out of that pvc.

Inside plastic then inside hard plastic which was hard to open. Been trying to get the 1955 flat pack to go with my 1955 box proofs. I think they have been going for around $150. So he didn't charge me no premium for it. A older guy runs the store and his daughter runs it as well. The more you go to a coin store the more you learn what to do. This is my second time I went. First time I went the older guy wasn't there and I asked about proof sets and they showed me some nothing early, though I bought a '68 proof set. I bought a 1930 to 1958 littleton penny book. It was missing 31s but lots of the penny's were upgrades for my dansco book. It was $30. (Cent not penny) Looking forward to going back to this store the next time I go out there. I would really like to complete my cent and mercury dime books. For the newer collectors: Coin shops always have lots more stuff not shown. Always have cash and always spend some cash.

Anybody know about these? I bought a 1955 and 1956 proof flat pack sets. They were $100 and $50. So the price were fine and all. I busted the 1956 one out. The coins were nice. Nothing mind blowing or anything. The 1955 flat pack sells for alot on eBay. I went out of town and got them at a Coin shop I usually don't go to. Picked up a 1955 Proof nickel with full steps for .25. Is there a story behind the Minnesota collection certified mint sealed items?

You should go to a local coin shop and see what they have. Spend some money each time you go. They might act like snobs at first but get to know them. For every coin they have on display they have millions more not out. They are much cheaper then the antique store I'm sure. Lots of more expensive ones of course. Spend money each time you go and they will pull out stuff not shown. Anyways you can get lots of stuff and it's not that expensive. Help out your local coin shop and they will help you.

Got about 30 1945 S' and two were micro.

I was looking through my merc junk silver. Found a couple 1945 micro s' but that's it so far.

I don't spend much time looking for varieties but is this the 1941 D DDO Variety?

Just wondering. What grade range do you like to keep your Franklin's in?

1030 now. That is amazing by the way. That must have taken a ton of work.

Thank you.

I got it I think. 92 can be p or d close am. 98 99 2000 must be a p and the one to look for is wide.

The 92, 98, 99 and 2000 penny the rare one is the close AM? Or are they different? 92 close and others wide one is rare?

Jeez not this again. Do you have the bill as well? I got one to sell you if you want another. It came with a bill.

Here is a MS65. I don't think it looks better then this one.

How do you find uncirulated coins though? To find a uncirculated coin by roll hunting would be to find a roll such as this one from bank where all the coins have the same date and mint mark on it right? The coins are very clean but they are not perfect that's for sure. How to get a true uncirculated coin? If you find a very very clean coin in a mixed date roll that would be a AU coin right? On one of these blue and white label rolls the nickel on top has the ring of death and when I opened one of the rolls it had a finger print on a nickel. In the roll I did open up I found maybe 3 or 4 that were in excellent unc shape I would think. The rest had a ding or rim scrape. Can you get a true Unc coin from the bank in rolls? If you buy a unc set some of the same problems sometimes are on them. I guess that is the hard part of coin collecting. There is really only a small number of truly perfect coins for so many of the years coins. I'm looking at my unc sets through the 90's In the sets the coins are not separated in the envelope. I got unc sets up to 1995 at the moment. Recently I bought a big batch of them for cheap and replaced some of my sets and sold the others off. They are sealed in the plastic but they do rub against each other. When I buy a good unc set I make sure the coins have something in between the p and d sets. I hope I explained myself good enough to understand. Question is can you get a unc coin from bank? I have split up sets for my dansco books. I did buy what I think are Unc nickels to get the 2005 - 2010 ones that came from rolls.

The microscope was a waste of money. Wish I had listened to you guys. I was hoping to find a few varieties but haven't yet. I would have been better off buying a nice $50 coin instead.

Thank you

I believe this came out with the bicentennial. It is a real replica. And it also came with a $20 bill. It's probably 40 or 50 years old. I guess that could be generations. But it's still a replica.

This coin again???

Go to your local coin shop and buy some coins. Take cash and $20 will get you a nice coin or two. Make friends and don't be afraid to ask questions. In Change I have found a W Quarter worth about $5. A few wheat pennies worth about .02 each. 10 $2 bills in numerical order worth $2 each but otherwise have not found anything in change that I have kept. I have found some 1940's and 1950's nickels roll hunting and a few silver nickels. I have found 60 or so silver dimes from the change machine. If you get the word out to your friends and family that you are a coin collector you could get some cool things. I got a couple of morgans and a few silver half dollars that way. My father gave me his nickel dansco book as well as his dansco penny book. Did you find error coins or variety coins? I found two nickels in change that were off center but not by much. I do have a coin magnifier but all I see are very dirty coins. I would have been better off just buying a couple of good coins from the coin shop vs buying that. Hanging out at the coin shop a few times a week did get me to buy some things from someone that brought things in to sell that the shop didn't want. A big load of Unc and proof sets. Face value of the coins were over $80 I got them for $50. Plus there was $30 of silver in there as well. Go to your local coin shop. Spend some money there and they will help you out as well. Just be sure to take cash when you do go. No credit cards.

why does everyone think they have a million dollar penny? I have been coming here for maybe a year and I lost count how many people think they have "that" penny.

The 1955 flat sells for a good amount. You have any of the 1940's? Just wondering what Unc and proofs sets do you have in your collection? One other question if a coin roll you get at bank in a white and blue roll is all the same. For example 2023 D Nickels would these be considered uncirculated?
