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 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.

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 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 shorty: When was the first American bald eagle printed on the back of a coin?
I would just like to know (link if possible) what year did America start printing the eagle on US currency (coins, etc.)? I know they started using the eagle was 1782, and that is about all I know. thanks

Answer by Michael
If memory serves me right, the first eagle appeared on the 1794 Flowing Hair silver dollar.

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

Best answer:

Answer by Taiping
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.
