Coin Collectors ...

[MIHunter]

Looking for info / interest on coins. I have a small coin box of some older, some not so, coins that my dad dabbled with. He was never a big collector. He passed away 9 years ago, and they've just sat here. I've done a little research but not sure of my sources.

I have 25 $2 bills, a couple pieces of foreign currency, bunch (10-15 rolls) of wheat pennies from 1920's, 30's, 40's and a few older; Buffalo head nickels, some half dollars, president head $1 coins and more.

Nothing sentimental but don't know what to do to check value to where I would even sell other than Ebay.

Thoughts, Suggestions & Comments (Mostly . )Appreciated

This is the site I use to ballpark values for coins I may be interested in purchasing. One thing I've noticed is that old coins seem to have risen in value quite a bit over the last couple years which is good if you're on the selling end. Ebay can also give you a good idea of what coins are selling for. You sure you want to sell your coins/currency? Might want to hold on to them for a while just to see if they continue to go up in value.

Thanks QB. I'll check it out.
I guess Im just not sure what Im looking at other than condition, year, and mint.
I know like the President head $1 coins are valued at $2, and some of the pennies are at 10-13 cents. I don't think that there is a ton there of value, but I also now it can be time consuming, which I have little of at this point.

you might have to go though them all and check, you don't want to sell a coin that you think is worth a few bucks and it's really worth $100's.

Most of the currency will only be worth a couple dollars, but check just to make sure.

Thanks!

$2 dollar bills are worth $2 dollars, know a guy that always gets them from his bank and gives them out for tips and stuff.

The Presidential dollars are only worth $1...get all you want at the bank for face value. There are a few error ones worth a lot more, mostly with missing or doubled edge lettering.
Check the wheat pennies in the 20's and 30's...some of those (22D, 22 plain, 24D, and 31S) can be worth a good bit. Lots of good dates in the Buffalo nickel series.

EBay is actually one of the best sources for current pricing. Search completed listings and get a good average of value.

Don't forget about the steel pennies in the 40's. They have good value too.
