Q. I would like to know if my coin is real

Without a photo I have to say it's invisible.

Q. Do you have to have a rare, one of a kind coin certified? The photo itself wld show buyers how unique the coin is.

I'm unsure of what you are asking. Most coins should not be certified. We certify coins when we want to establish authenticity. Certifying a coin does not add to its value, rather, it just makes the coin more saleable. I would not recommend this for coins close to face value or with an easily documented bullion value. Certification is useful when a coin is on the border of two grades with a big price jump; for instance, one that is $500 in MS63 and $1,200 in MS64. Then it makes sense to spend $4...

Q. is a 1955d flying e liberty penny worth anything

Q. I found a 1977 no mint penny that is either a pmd or a coin error. I'd like to have u take a look at it and tell me what u think. I'm new to this. https://photos.app.goo.gl/uQuN1aun8zLsUy9r5

I think your "penny" looks a lot more like a dime. One that has suffered a lot of damage. You can safely spend it, there is not value beyond ten cents.

Q. Do you only deal with U.S. currency? I have a large collection of Israeli coins that I am trying to get looked at. Thanks for your time

I handle foreign as well. However the market is quite weak. "It is what it is," do you want to bring them in?

Q. 1776-1976 Kennedy half dollar 1965 Washington quarter 1940 & 1970 Jefferson nickels are any of these worth money

no just face value

Q. I have a 1989 non mint fg penny .... Some people tell me that it's worth something some people say it's not so how do I go about finding out if the one I have worth something it's in very very good condition?

All coins come from a mint. If no mint mark, then it's Philadelphia. I wish all the people who tell others their coins are valuable would put up their own money and buy therm. I know of no 1989 cents that are more than face value!

Q. I have an un- heard of coin error ,it is a 1986 d Lincoln cent struck on a nickel planchet it's as round as q pwnny but as thick as a nl

How do you know it's a nickel planchet? Does it weigh 5 grams and have silver color? If so send pictures through hvcoins.com. Thank you.

Q. I was wondering about the 2000 cheerios coin I found one I'm not sure if there's any value to a coin like this perhaps you can advise me if it something I should look into thank you

What evidence do you have it came from a Cheerios box rather than being one of the many regular ones from that year? (If it really did we should talk.) Marc (best to call or email through hvcoins.com!)

I deal with moderns, but the value of these is so close to face value that you're going to find it hard to find a buyer at more than that.
