Q. I've got a 1982 D small date penny that weighs 3.1. interested?

I find all coins interesting. Did you read all we wrote about these?

Q. I have a 1910 2 1/2 dollar gold coin on a 14k gold pendent. It's in excellent shape. No scratches. Still shiny and clean. Would it be worth anything?

"Shiny" is not always ideal, as polishing and cleaning coins detracts from their value. But we would probably be able to pay $250 or more, let me know if you want to bring it in.

Q. I submitted what might be an experimental 1943 wheat penny (per a local historian & collector) a few weeks back but I haven’t received any response back yet, can you please advise. Thank you.

Brian my answer was; "Looks like an attempt to fabricate a 1943 copper cent, which would be over $50K, but NGC realized it's not real, and "body bagged" it. This has no value. Sorry!"

Q. I have two 1964 proof quarters that came out of a roll. Is it true that the mint mark was a D stamped over S.

They are just worth the silver, five bucks each. We don’t find a premium and minor Varieties. Especially if circulated.
