We kindly ask you to limit your request to ONE item, preferably with images of both sides. We specialize in items that are older and of some historic importance. Please include photos of both sides if possible.
We may use your appraisal on our site as reference for others with the same item(s). We'll never display your personal information and will remove all sensitive information from your submission. Please contact us for a private appraisal. View our privacy policy.
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. 1804 coin- not sure if it's of any value or a cheap fake.
This is not one of the legendary 1804 silver dollars, I'm afraid. What a shame!
D. Elizabeth II 2004 one penny error coin. Error is on she mounth
She is spitting at the notion that every post-mint modification of a coin seems to be classified as an "error" these days.
D. The hair in front goes into the year of coin and the buffalo face is as if was old man face. My opinion that what looks like. I've did all my home research as weight and diameter of it checks out to be real deal but can't find reason it turned out as did
The reason is that buffalo (Bison) nickels have very high (raised) dates. So when they wear, one feature runs into another. This is a 1929-S, the mint mark is on the reverse at bottom. Your coin is worth between fifty cents and a dollar, retail. It certainly is real. I'm not sure why you question the wear, it looks typical for these coins.
D. 1979 Susan B Anthony dollar. It looks to be double stamped. You can see the texture of it is very bumpy. You can see another outline of Susan's face and hair. Between the letters if liberty seem to be letters in between but you can't really make them out. There is another number either a 7 or another 1 in front of the one on 1979. The bird on the back is larger in size. The words seem to be flattened. The letter where you would see where it was made is like a big blob and so is the signature.
All I see is a well-worn dollar, one you should spend. I see no evidence of doubling, a misprescription which seems very much in fashion these days. As I state clearly in my FAQs, I don't deal much with modern varieties, they generally turn out to be a wild goose chase. Happy hunting!
D. Unable to read year on this nickle. Is this a minting error?
Yes. In the middle of the night, three men broke into the mint, horribly defaced this coin with files, hammers, and a vice, then slipped it into the out-box. Well, on second thought, maybe not. It is, however, kind of noteworthy in the level of damage, and how evenly it has been destroyed. That takes a certain talent.
D. 2009 penny with Lincoln on a log no mint mark
Until 2017, cents circulated without mint marks when produced in the Philadelphia mint. Yours is circulated so it's fun but just a cent, they made many.
D. I have a buffalo nickel from 1937 Sanfransico mint and I had done a acid test only one the side of it and it came back silver what high value would it hold knowing they didnt make silver ones
I'm not sure what "acid test" you are doing in your basement but your nickel is made out of nickel and now that it has been subjected to acid, its collectible value has been compromised. If you weigh it you'll see it's pretty close to 5 grams and original. We buy these for 10-15 cents and sell them for 20-25 cents at shows.
D. US Half cent 1800
If authentic, your lovely half cent would retail around $150, being about fine. However it's a little suspicious in appearance, I'd want to inspect and weigh it to be sure.
D. 1963 d penny. Trying to see if this was a stamp mistake or something done by another person.
It could be an obstruction error such as struck through grease; but it could also just be heavy wear and damage. Hard to tell. Even if an error, it's not a big ticket item. And since it's so worn on the obverse, an error is less likely, and with this level of wear, it would be worth at most a few dollars. I'd say okay to spend, or keep it for the novelty.
