Anyone Know Anything About Coins?

[Ravang]

I've had this small collection of coins for years, but I don't know anything about most of the coins or if they even have any value. If you know anything about the coins or their values please feel free to post it, because I don't have a clue about them. Some of them are close too 100 years old...

The 1976 quarter is a bicentennial (think I spelled that right) and the 1942 penny is called a "wheat penny"

The first one is a gold sovereign and could be worth a small amount depending on how rare it is. The one you have looks to be fairly average and based on current exchange rates could be worth something between $75 and $110 (US) (

They are all worthless, post them to me & I will pop them in the bin for you.

The 1909 5-DOLLAR Gold Half Eagle Indian Gold coin ranges between $395.00 - $450.00 USD depending on condition and mint mark on E-Bay.

INDIAN HEAD TYPE 1908-1929

Designer: Bela Lyon Pratt
Weight: 8.359 grams
Composition: .900 gold, .100 copper
Diameter: 21.6 mm
Reeded edge
Mints: Philadelphia, Denver, New Orleans and San Francisco
Net weight: .24187 oz. pure gold

If it has an "O" (New Orleans) mint mark, it can be worth thousands!

The "Gold Dollar 2000" is a Sacagawea dollar and not worth much, maybe about $12.00 USD. It wasn't a very popular coin.

Having collected coins for a few years now, I can tell

[freedomhays]

I have a bunch of gold coins,  and from the information I have received,  If they are gold,  depending on if they are 10, 14, 18, 24 carat,  in today's economy they are only worth there weight in gold at the market price.
817.00 an ounce at the moment

Thanks for the information, I don't think I'll sell any of them much nicer to have than to sell.

The Sacagawea dollar has no gold in it at all-
Composition:
88.5% Copper
6% Zinc
3.5% Manganese
2% Nickel

It's one mutt of a coin.....lol I'm amazed they even still make it.

The 2000 minting was the biggest- Philadelphia (P)- 767,150,000, Denver (D)- 518,920,000. So far 2008 (to date) P- 1,820,000 , D- 1,820,000. A big decline which shows it's quite unpopular with the public and collectors.

It might be worth something someday due to low mintage. So maybe your great-great-great grand children might be able to make a few pounds off of it....lmao.

Also on the Sacagawea dollar they stopped releasing them into circulation after 2002, from 2003 on they are only available through the US mint or a dealer. If you find one in circulation, that means that someone was either hard up for money or has very naughy children.

[Romulus111VADT]

This is where you'll find the mint mark on the 1909 5-DOLLAR Gold Half Eagle Indian Gold coin. If it has no mark in that location, it was minted in Philadelphia,

The sixth one reminds me of home!
