My late Christmas Present From My Uncle

Hello Everyone! I got a lot of really nice coins that I got from my uncle in January but never had a chance to post it. I usually don't post anything on Mondays but I  had some time so I thought I will just complete this post.
1919, 1944, 1944 S, 1944 D, 1956 D. My most favorite wheat penny would the 1919 (shown in the picture) because it is in good condition for an old coin. I also have the same exact coin but is flatter and has less details.

 
 
1920 Buffalo Nickel


1943 S Silver nickel (The shinier one is the silver nickel)

4 Washington Quarters

 


2 silver dimes



 I am very sorry this was a very late post. I have bought 2 Boxes of Pennies and I will post how well it went.
Most Importantly, Thank You Uncle for these coins! I will take good care of them. :)

A Visit to my local coin shop


Hi guys! I thought I bought some good coins for a good price so this weekend's post is about the coins I bought from my local coin shop. Well this post is suppose to be last weeks post but I just didn't have time to finish this post. :(




                                                      The $1 and the $0.25 Box
  In my local coin shop they have 2 boxes. The $1 box has a lot of old coins including American Coins. (Not silver though) The $0.25 box has a lot of old foreign coins but the only American coins you can find would be heavily worn V nickels and if you're lucky, you can find some heavily worn Indian Head cents.



$0.25 Box

         I bought a Japanese 10 Sen coin dating back to Taisho 12(1923) from the $0.25 box
I believe this side is the Reverse

I believe this side is the Obverse

That's all for the $0.25 box 
 
 $1 Box
 I bought a 1909 Wheat penny which in my opinion is a good price for something very old and rare also the condition is good and this coin can go up to $75 depending on the condition.

A 1895 Indian Head penny. It is in good condition. Well sort of.

      An Australian 3 pence George V with the reverse side missing. (AKA The Blank Planchet) I am not sure what year it is but all I know for sure is that this coin was minted between 1911-1936. Unfortunately I don't really know much about Australian currency. :(

A 1906 Indian Head Penny. In my opinion, the condition of this coin would be XF. (Extra Fine) Everything on the coin is legible.

Obverse
When I first got this coin, I didn't even know anything about except that it is old. So I found some information about it and this coin has 19 percent silver in it and the rest is copper. Also this coin is made in Poland. I was surprised because I would think the employees at the coin shop would check each coin. The coin is very brown and is hard to tell if there is even silver in it. The minimum value for this coin would be $8.
 
1840 10 Groszy

 
 
 
That's all for the $1 box
 
 
The last thing I bought from the coin shop would be the 1854 Seated liberty Quarter (with arrows) and the 1911 S Barber Quarter. I honestly think I made a mistake on buying the Seated Liberty Quarter because its so flattened and is hard to see the details. I should of saved my money and buy a better Seated Liberty Quarter that cost's a little more and something I will be more happy with.

Treasures inside the Box Of Pennies and Box of Nickels

Hi everyone!! Good to see you. This post will be about my findings in my Box Of Pennies and Box Of Nickels I got for Christmas.


        First off, Pennies. I found 2 wheat pennies, 1957 D and 1939. The 1957 D is worth about $0.05. The 1939 is worth about $0.10. Also found 1 1998 Canadian Penny. Which is face value.
       Unfortunately I didn't find much in these box of pennies. Most of the pennies were 2014 pennies. :(
 


 
 
 
 
 
Second off, Nickels. I found 2 Silver Nickels, 1944 S and 1945 S. A bunch of old nickels which are worth a little more than face value. Found a 1964 post mint damage (PMD) nickel. Also found a 1998 Canadian Nickel.





 
 
 
 



 


 
        Somehow a 1941 1 Franc Belgium coin was in my nickel roll and which I thought was really amazing.
      
 


     Also I don't know how a 1979 S proof mint coin got in circulation. I am guessing that a person who was maybe poor or desperate used it to buy something or it accidently slipped into circulation. Also found a 1939 S that is in pretty good condition.
 

 

 
 I am very sorry this was a late post
