Question

How can I identify where a coin is from?

Community Answer

Usually the older the coin is, the more valuable it is. The year the coin was made in is almost always somewhere on the coin. There are exceptions of course.

Question

I have a very rare, U.S. five-cent coin made in 1913. What is the best way to determine its actual worth?

Community Answer

Your coin is not rare if it has an American Indian on the front and a buffalo on the back; expect about $5 for that one. If your coin has a "v" on the back and Lady Liberty on the front, the coin is worth millions of dollars - but it might be fake.

Question

I have a load of 1971 new two pence coins. Are they worth anything?

Community Answer

A lot of people are saying they are worth a lot, as that was the year the system went decimal. However, with almost 500,000,000 being made and no one knowing how many are actually circulating, it is hard to say.

Question

How do I find the value of an old penny?

Community Answer

First, look at the date. Usually coins (common Indian head pennies) from the 1850's-present day are not worth much, only about $1-10. The quality also affects the overall value. The coin can range from mint-poor depending on the scratches and blemishes. Look on eBay to see previous bids for the coin you have. This gives you a good estimate to what it's worth.
