    The coin looks be in good shape. Assuming it's real, with the gold price at $2685 this weekend, you are probably looking at a minimum value of $800. Possibly over $1,000 depending on its condition which unfortunately is impossible to determine with photos. First, make sure the coin weighs around 8.36 grams.

    High-value numismatics such as your specimen should be appraised, graded, and slabbed by a licensed coin dealer. It will be easier to sell and give you a real idea of its true value. Of course, the coin dealer may offer to buy it from you outright, albeit at a probably reduced price. Find a coin dealer licensed by PCGS or NGC. Avoid pawn shops unless they are licensed by one of the two mentioned coin grading services.

    We refer you to a couple articles from our library that might be of interest to you:

    Good luck!

  • Coin Values replied to a discussion, 1994D Penny Error?
    At first glance it does look like a possible error. If you are wondering if it could be valuable that would be doubtful. However, take that with a grain of salt since we are not too familiar with modern pennies due to their low collectible value....
    At first glance it does look like a possible error. If you are wondering if it could be valuable that would be doubtful. However, take that with a grain of salt since we are not too familiar with modern pennies due to their low collectible value. Hate to say this, but you would be better off asking elsewhere or bringing it to a local reputable coin dealer.

    Sorry we couldn't help out some more.

    It is nigh on impossible to appraise a coin on the internet, and without images we couldn't even ballpark its possible condition. That said, any sign of wear means that it is circulated. Assuming you are referring to an 1885 $5 gold liberty head you can get an idea of its possible value here: https://coinvalues.com/liberty-head-half-eagle/1885. Keep in mind that our estimated values in that article are based on circulated specimens in very fine condition. Don't confuse your coin's value with the "Melt Value" posted on top of the page. You will have to read the article to see the very fine condition values. Obviously if it happens to be uncirculated then values shoot up dramatically.

    You can reply to your post and upload images if you have any.

    Iggy, 1982 D small date copper pennies are extremely rare. Rare to the tune of only a couple being known to be in existence. While it is unlikely your coin is one of those rarities, you must bring it to a reputable coin dealer to have it inspected. It could be a zinc variety which is not worth a whole lot.

    Make sure you double- and triple-check that the weight is 3.1g and not 2.5g.

    Even if you don't end up having an ultra-rare 1982 D small date copper penny, you might be able to get anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred dollars for it due to the rarity of the small date error depending on condition (yours looks a bit worn).

    It is extremely difficult to gauge the true value of such collector items, especially on the internet.

  • Coin Values replied to a discussion, Bicentennial
    Typically a bicentennial proof set can be had for between $20 and $30. While not considered common, they are also not rare enough to fetch astronomical collectable prices.

  • Hello, Andrew, and thanks for your question. Why do you think that there are no double-die 1944 Lincoln Wheat Pennies? It's a definite possibility that your 1944 penny is double-die. It could be worth a bit more than a "normal" one but probably not by much.

  • The coin does not look to be double-die, rather possibly double-struck. Double-die would show offsets across most of the coin. Your specimen appears to be product of a simple minting error.

  • Assuming your roll contains 50 circulated 1943 Lincoln Wheat Pennies, you are looking at a total value of $5-$10, maybe more.

    It would be worthwhile to open the roll to rule out the (unlikely) chance one of them is the ultra-rare bronze variety.

    A reputable coin dealer in your area can appraise them, or you could just try to sell the roll on eBay without opening it.

    For sure it can be frustrating. Read the eBay cancellation policy: https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/getting-paid/sellers-can-cancel-order?id=4136

    The seller can cancel the purchase. Of course the bad rating from the buyer will be a big stain on his reputation, and we understand that eBay also punishes sellers that do these kinds of things since it is not a ethical way of doing business.

    Anyone cancelling completed auctions will likely not be on eBay for very long.

    Did you investigate the seller's history before bidding?

    • Yes, I did. He’s been selling for years and has, or had, a 100% positive rating. I don’t know, maybe his story about losing the coin is true, but heYes, I did. He’s been selling for years and has, or had, a 100% positive rating. I don’t know, maybe his story about losing the coin is true, but he had just put the coin up for auction days before so it seems unlikely. He knew the coin is a rarity because he posted the story of its coming into existence. I just don’t think he fully understood the absolute rarity of the coin. Perhaps it was brought to his attention by another bidder or watcher after the closing. Personally I can’t blame him for pulling out after realizing what he has, I mean really, but it is super frustrating, infuriating and unethical. As I said, I’m probably done with eBay for allowing such behavior but I’m sure my one account doesn’t mean s@$t to them. Any reputable place you can recommend?  More ...

    • eBay is the go-to place for online sales, and your only other options are the big online coin dealers.

      Super rare coins like the one you are talkingeBay is the go-to place for online sales, and your only other options are the big online coin dealers.

      Super rare coins like the one you are talking about are never on eBay. They're more akin to museum pieces and get auctioned off in serious, high-stakes auction houses.

      Who knows what the seller's motive was to pull the sale from you. Sorry you had a bad experience. That's the way things go online sometimes.
