U.S. Mint Bald Eagle Coin

Question by Mad_Hatter: I need help identifying the value of this coin?
On the front of the coin it says it is from 1980, has a picture of a man going bald and looking left, and it also says diez pesos. On the back it has the eagle on the cactus eating a snake. It also says Estados Unidos Mexicanos. I figured out its from Mexico i just dont know its value.

Question by Max: Would anyone know where this coin can be purchased or what it is?
I found a large gold coin with a the words "Florida Flamingo" (2 standing flamingoes on it) on one side and "National Wildlife Outdoor Series A" with a bald eagle on the other side. Would anyone know where to get more info about these? My kids think this coin is a 'lucky charm' ...LOL

It is a medal not a coin. It is gold colored and not real gold. This type item goes back to the 1960's when private mints and companies tried to get on the coin band wagon. Coin collecting was real hot then and even through the 1990's they tried to sell their wears. However the federal trade commission finally caught up to them and they had to watch how they sold them and could not call them coins. Unless the name of the company is on them you may never find out who made it. Values range from each in aluminum to a few dollars in brass or copper and for the dollar size silver ones. Hope this helps. Maybe it is a lucky charm for you or the kids.

Question by rams_2009: I got a 1922 golden coin with trust spelled wrong. It has a v in place of u. How much is this worth?
It is in mint condition, has the statue of liberty's head on one side and a bald eagle on the other side. On the side with the statue of liberties face it says quote, "IN GOD WE TRVST". I am absolutely positive that is what it says. Trust is spelled with a v not a u. I am just wondering how much this is worth just so I can put it on ebay and make sure I am getting what this coin is worth and not ripped off.

Go to a coin collector, a few to be certain and ask for an appraisal or professional opinion. Some will help and some wont!

Question by Avneet Kaur: can someone help me translate this into french?
Among thrill-seekers and adventurous minds, West Edmonton Mall is famous for its NINE WORLD-CLASS ATTRACTIONS. Whether you’re into waterslides, roller coasters, ice skating, bowling, billiards, mini-golf or marine life, something is bound to satisfy your appetite for excitement!

This big park is located on the border of Vancouver and Burnaby. It has a lot of tall trees and trails to walk or bike. There's a pitch and putt golf course that I want to try soon, but Dad says I'm still too young to play golf on this course. The neatest thing is the pond in the park which has real live turtles in it, and gold fish, too.

We've been to Shannon Falls a couple times, usually as a stop on the way to Whistler. It's not really Highway (Highway 99). The 1100 foot falls is the 3rd highest in the province. This is a great place to have a picnic also. You can also combine the Falls with other attractions in the area like the BC Museum of Mining - Britannia Beach, West Coast Railway Heritage Park - Squamish, or Viewing Bald Eagles - Brackendale.

An impressive display of cascading water. It's also pretty in mid-winter when it freezes over, and people try to climb it, although I would recommend you don't do that unless you know how.that far from Vancouver and it makes for a nice Sunday drive on the Sea-to-Sky

Question by Yawowhow: Old US dollar coins and their present day values?
I have a bunch of old US dollar coins laying around in my wallet and I wanted to know about them and their present-day values.

Here are the coins I have:

1776-1976 USA Liberty one dollar coin. It has the Liberty Bell on the back.

1979 USA Liberty one dollar coin. It has a bald eagle holding an olive branch on the back.

200 USA Liberty one dollar coin. A picture of a bald eagle and the words, Pluribus Unum on the back.

1789-1797 George Washington coin. Statue of Liberty on the back.

1973 Liberty Half dollar coin. Has the Great Seal of USA on the back.

Please, if you can, tell me about some of these coins and their present-day values. Thank you!

Best answer:

Answer by liberty 911
What you have is:
1976 Eisenhower dollar
1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar
200? Sacagawea dollar
2007 Washington dollar (the year is on the edge or rim)
1973 Kennedy half dollar

None of these is worth much over face value unless you have a proof coin (mirror finish) which might bring 5 to 10 times face value. I hope that helps.

Question by lathom01@yahoo.com: Is it really such a bad thing to clean your coins?
I recently inhereted my deceased Father's coin collection, so I'm very new to the hobby. All his coins are American coins, and many are almost pure silver or copper. Many of the other coins are either clad with silver, or made up of other types of metal. I plan to finish his collection and either keep it until I'm old and need money, or I'll pass it all down to another generation. My point is, I dont plan on selling any of the coins any time soon, if at all. I was unable to stop myself from cleaning all his Walking Liberty silver 1/2 dollars, but (so far) have resisted the urge to clean his Mercury dimes, Buffalo nickles, Franklin 1/2 dollars, Flying Eagle pennies, and Indian Head pennies. Some are very very old---AND very very dirty. Some of his nickels are even growing hard blue-green knots on them. To me, they are not at all pretty to look at but I've been told that cleaning your coins will reduce their value. How can that be? Why does it hurt the coins value to make it clean and shiney? It's still the same coin---with the same amount of silver (and whatnot). I also collect 99.99% pure gold and silver bullions and coins so I tend to look at this coin collection's value in terms more of the silver content than the numismatic value. I use a cream silver cleaner and soft cotton rag. I take my time and dont rub too hard. Am I putting tiny little abrasive scratches on the coins? If so, they are pretty latent because I cant see them! I would really love to clean up his entire collection, but first want to hear from other coin collectors with an opinion.
Why is it, Mr. Curious, that some people feel like they have to insult and offend the person who is asking an honest question? I'm not a "clean freak" that should give up my collection because I cant take care of it. It isnt a puppy, ya know. I couldnt care less if someone famous touched my money....you think they give a damn about whether or not I've touched THEIR money? Just by process of statistics, it's pretty much a certainty that many famous people have touched my coins. Their grease is no better than anyone else's. You must be one of those people who wouldnt wash your hand ever again if the President shook it. I asked a question so I can learn---not so I could be belittled by someone who is giddy about knowing something that someone else doesnt. I personally dont see any beauty in coins that are covered in dirt and finger grease, but I will resist the urge to clean them. I'll never understand how dirt makes something more valuable but if that's the way it is, so be it.

Best answer:

Answer by Mr. Curious Rides Again
It's all a mystique type thing. Old coins should look old. Besides, by cleaning all the "dirt" off them, you're erasing the coins long history. I mean, any one of those coins could have been touched by a great man or woman, and cleaning them, would eliminate that history. We don't know, but that's the mystique about it. You must have cleaning freak issues, and you should give up the collection to someone who would preserve the coins complete history.
Oh! By cleaning them, you are no only removing any history of those that have touched them in the past, you are erasing any proof that your Dad touched them.
I may not make any sense to you, but you will cut the value in half if not more by cleaning those coins.
Good luck with whipping the history away.
Happy Holidays!

Question by Kati: Value of 4 Franklin Mint coins?
I have 4 sterling silver coins. 1st one is 1973 John F Kennedy with his face on one side and a embossed picture of JFKs back with words "...of those to whom much is given, much is required." Followed by his signature. On edge is the words The Franklin Mint and 1000 Grains Sterling (copyright symbol) then three other symbols..
2nd + 3rd Coins are from a bird collection set 1971. We have no. 7 & 11 the 'Peregrine Falcon' & 'Bald Eagles'. Sterling marked on the sides with three symbols again.
The first 3 coins all have the Gilroy Robert's symbol.
The last coin is Mayflower 1620/1970 Sterling marked on the side again with 4 symbols n the # 04732. on the back is a map of cape cod bay.
Where can i find the value or aprox value of these coins?
Thanks in advanced for your help =)

Best answer:

Answer by liberty 911
Typically the value of these items is based upon the spot price of silver which is currently almost per troy ounce. 1000 grains Sterling silver is approximately 2 troy ounces. You might consider checking for similar items on eBay. I hope that helps.
