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.

D. 1937 F (I think— it’s hard to see the letter under the year in the picture but I think it’s an F) Indian head nickel, circulated. I read through all the papers, I promise, I just still can’t tell because some places have this for $2 or less and I see some that look similar on eBay for over 1k . Thank you!

D. Medal/coin. Pls enlighten me

We would have to research this to determine exact value. I did a preliminary search; I'm not jumping at the bit because medals don't go for a lot these days. Even if this is old, and it looks like it's probably a modern restrike, its value is likely going to top out at $25 or $30. You could do a web search yourself for the terms on it and find similar pieces that have sold or are on the market.
