Question by Alex: How can I tell what my coin is worth over the internet?
I have a one dollar coin from 1890 with a picture of a queen on the heads side with a crown that says "Liberty" on it, and a bald eagle with arrows and what i am assuming as an olive branch in its claws on the tails side. If you know the coin or its worth, or a free website that can determine it's worth, it'd help. Thanks.

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 =)

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.

Question by Mr. So Krates: Which is a better coin to own?
Which would you rather have? This is a gift for my mother who loves coin collecting.

A 2008 bald eagle silver dollar proof: Only ~, but only 500,000 are to be produced

A 2008 American buffalo proof gold coin (1/10 ounce): ~0 but no statement of limiting the production

Both are official U.S. coins from the U.S. mint.

Best answer:

Answer by Kitty
I personally would want the Gold Buffalo simply because I have numerous Silver Eagles already... BUT if your mother is a small time collector or beginner, she will be more than happy with the Silver Eagle .

Why not get her the Silver Eagle now and start saving for the Gold Buffalo for a gift NEXT year ! It's a win win situation for both of you. If you are financially stable and money is NOT the object then get one now and the next for her at the next gift giving holiday of your choice.

Either way she will love what you give her... I know I enjoy ANYTHING my son gives me, even if it is a coin I already have. I gladly accept duplicates of any part of my collection. : )

Be sure to include a hug !!

Question by Slick: What would this coin be worth?
It is from 1945. On one side it has a coat of arms with the Bald Eagle on top, and on this side says 'United States of America". the date 1945, is also found on this side.

Then, on the opposite side, it says "fifty centavos" at the top. At the bottom on this side, it says "FILIPINAS".
Pictured on this side is a man/woman wearing a robe standing next to a bird bath/water stand filling a ladle.

What would be an estimate on this coins value, and where is it from? The condition is fair to good.

Best answer:

Answer by ►BobB◄
it is a post-war Phillipines coin.

I would contact Littleton Coin for a value.

Answer by Taiping
The 2008 bald eagle coin is a commemorative coin while the 2008 American Buffalo coin is a gold bullion coin and for 0 it must be the 1/10 of an ounce. You may find that the gold buffalo will have the lowest mintage. Looking at the American gold eagle proof issues of 1/10 oz. only 17,546 2005 proofs were made and 15,636 2004 proofs were made. The most proofs made from what books I have is 143,681 from the first year 1988. Not all mintage figures for 2006-2007 have been released yet. I am a numismatist and collect the old historic coins, so would have to take the Bald Eagle for it's historic value but the gold coin would be the best investment.

Question by jrddecker: GreenPeace Coins? Anybody know anything about them?
I have a set of Five GreenPeace coins. They are in a green holder the says greenpeace on the cover. Come with a little booklet about the animals featured on the coins. The coins them self are in execellent condition. About the size and weight on a silver dollar. Silver in color, I don't know if they are real silver or plated? They all have the GreenPeace symbol with the peace sign on one side. And the of side show a different animal or design on the other. A Bald Eagle, Harp Seals, Timber Wolves, Sperm Whales, and a Sisiutl. They say "GreenPeace 1979" on the top and on the bottom it says, "Currency Value One Dollar Expires April 30, 1979" I can't find anything about these. I have had them for years. I checked on ebay the see it anyone had tried to auction any off, and no one has in the last six months. I get nothing off of google. Anyone know where I can find info on these?

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
I will not be much help but they are actually medals. They fall into the category of local trade dollars. There are more Canada than here in the states but when a city or town has a special event say a 100th anniversary they produce trade coins that are good for a certain amount for a specific time. Greenpeace was big in the 1970-1980's for pulling stunts that got them in trouble with the powers to be. I am not surprised such an item exists. they would have used the money from sales to help their cause. I don't have their web site handy but google the token and medal society maybe they can help. I would say the medals are usually made of copper-nickel to look like silver. You can also google token and medal dealers , one of them may know. Hope this helps.

Question by goldmoderncoins: Need coin dealer or collector advice on this silver coin?
I am curious who minted the bullion? I am curious if there are any others available out there and where I would purchase them? I am curious about the estimated value of these coins? Finally, I am curious what the symbols on the rim of the coin indicate?

The coins has bald eagles on one side - then it says "Bald Eagles - No. 11 1971" on the other...it says "Sterling" on the rim followed by 3 symbols. The coin weighs in at exactly 2.3oz.

Scans of the coin:

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!
