Questions about old coins

[bbheigle0605]

Not sure if I'm posting in the right forum or not but I've always questioned these coins. They were pasted down from my father along with many other various old coins. Could someone explain why some have holes and why the last coin looks as if someone rubbed it to death? It is 4 coins in all. Thank you in advance!!!!

Thank you very much for all the information!! I'm not familiar with old coins even tho I've always looked at my father's collection growing up. He has so many and even he doesn't even know much about them haha! Trying to research hundreds of coins can be a daunting task!!! Thank you

Do yourself a favor and go buy a Red Book of US Coins (R. S. Yeoman I think is the author). The prices reflect dealer retail, which isn't always accurate, but the info within is invaluable to any collector.

Oh great! I will do! Easier for me to use a book instead of the computer. Thank you!
