Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.

D. 1927 wheat penny 1926 1912 1935 wheat pennys
Though these may have a book value upwards of a dollar each, they are common and it would be hard to fetch that.
D. 1983 Costa Rica 20 colones
This is a "trick-or-treat" coin. As in, we give them out on Halloween. (Inflation and abundance probably kill the value of this coin.)
D. 1974 Canada 10 cents
At current exchange rates, this is worth eight cents.
D. I don't know what type of error is but it's not damage it came from the mint like that .it's a 2021 p
I'm not sure what the arrow is pointing at. The photo isn't too hot. What leads you to believe it was minted like that?
D. Hi, I have six foreign gold coins that I want to sell. I have attached jpg files. Thanks, john
And i would like to buy them, even the two foreign ones from the US! These start at about $400 retail. I need to inspect, what is your number?
D. 1975 Roosevelt Dime with no mint mark
Okay I'm perplexed as to why you submitted this. No mark represents Philadelphia. It's... a dime...
D. It's a missprint
Coins are struck not printed. Some are subsequently chewed up with a bench grinder or worse.
D. Canada large 1 cent 1859. Is it the very rare brass type? Probably not. What variety is this coin?
As stated in my site, I don't usually do variety attribution because the rarer varieties are elusive and often fetch less than price guides suggest. I see a lot of 1859 Canada cents, though they are supposed to be priced higher, I think many were set aside and remain available.
D. I'm a metal detectorist found the coin this Friday. It' an Oak Tree Two Pence. Being a dug very old coin I need to dab with bottled drinking wat just to see details to ID the coin. Nothing else was done to it. I want to know if it can or should be professionally cleaned and if I should get it certified and slabbed?
i'm a little skeptical. None of what you're saying but even if you dug it up it's not necessarily authentic and dating to the period. It does need attribution and conservation and you want to have that done properly. Where are you located? I suggest you drop me a text at 649-3317, area code 914.
