I have a nice collection of coins predatin' the Civil War...can anyone help me figure out how much some are worth?
I got one that has my eye, it's a penny but its dated 1845.
The front has a picture of Queen Victoria 'n says "Queen Victoria"
The back has "East India Company" and "One Cent"

I also have one with some woman on the front, 13 stars around her head.
The back of it says "One Cent" and "United States of America."

I got one thats old. The front says "Victoria Dei Gratia" dated 1839. "Ieceris Stabit Qvocvnqve" is written on the back. There are three legs on the back too, wierd.

I also have 30 Spanish Pieces of Eight.


Can anyone help me find out the value of these coins?

Date? That could be 1808 to 1857. Some worth lots, some not. All worth something.

With coins, stamps and baseball cards the condition is everything. A 1817 coin that looks fresh from the bank may be worth $3,000 but an otherwise identical coin that has been circulated, has noticable wear, a scratch, crud . . . could be worth $40 or $30. Coin dealers are critical when buying and evasive when selling. But that's how they get their margins.

I have 2 of them. 1 is very good condition not shiny cause i have yet to shine it...thats dated 1850. The other is much more worn out, the back is legible, the front sort of is...though i can't tell if the date is 1810 or 1820...either way...thought they might be of some value...

That’s why I use little discrimination, and don’t consider myself strictly a “coin shooter”. I dig anything that shows up as non-ferrous and I can determine that it is small. I have found that the weaker/ softer/ more compact signals tend to be the goodies. What you just said about coin values pretty much seals the deal for me. One nice ring could easily be better than piles of coins, regardless of the year, because condition is everything, not so much with gold or diamonds.

I got family in Flint...

I also have a million of these gold lookin' pennies...

The front says "One Centavo" The bottom says "Filipinas"
The middle has some guy sittin' on something 'n he's holdin' a hammer. In the distance there's a volcano erupting...i think.

The back has "United States of America" along the top. The bottom has "1914"
The middle has the Eagle atop a shield of the US flag with 13 stars.
