SUBMIT AN ITEM FOR FREE APPRAISAL
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.
Photo Criteria: Acceptable photo formats are gif, jpg, and png and no larger than 15 MB. If you are using an iPhone, make sure that the photo is not set to LIVE, as this format will be not be uploaded.

D. Is this error coin? There is upside down D below date & sideways S at Lincoln's chin
No. Perhaps another coin struck over it but would not classify as an error.
D. The back of this dime is missing a lot of it.
Could be struck through grease... could be heavy wear/damage.
D. ?
Is there a question?
D. Partial face on front of coin but full reverse
Likely damage.D. 1795 silver dollar
These are often counterfeited. Would like to see picture, know weight in grams. m.r.
D. 1968 S JeffEmerson nickel with clipped planchette that the letters stretch to and follow on obverse and same as on reverse along with the word cents is on there 3 times and Monticello there is some letters that are doubled and the coin has an upper and lower section on it would like to know value and if you have ever seen another one like it Tia
You are confusing mint errors, which happen at the mint, with wear and damage, which comes later. Value: five cents. Yes, I've seen things like this.D. 1902 penny and two 1941 dimes
The cent is probably worth around fifty cents to a dollar, retail, if in typical circulated condition. The dimes are worth a couple bucks each, as they are silver.
D. I tried uploading more photos but it wouldn't let me. This is a 1897 V cent. It has got melted onto it and also stamped. It also looks as if it was stamped with another coins stamp.
You seem to have identified it properly. We in the coin community are not fond of coins that have been melted, or have cheese-like substances melted on them. Back in 1897, this coin would have bought you that cheese sandwich. Now, with inflation, it's barely worth a nickel.
