What is My U.S. Coin Worth? [MyCollect™ Official]

added a poll

Hello i was told that the error coin I found was common but i havent found anything about anywhere it is similar to the 2023 VBD shield penny extra v but it is 2 years earlier. 2021. The extra v is there for sure. One 23 extra v sold for over 6000 dollars at the auction house. But i was told that mine isnt worth looking at.

Send it in and see

Chuck it

Your seeing things

That's a winner

I have this guy who has literally a closet full of coins and bills, foreign and domestic, no error coins and all are in pristine condition. He wants to start selling and i am trying to help. He is an older fella in his 80’s, i am trying to explain the concept of grading and difference in value due to grading. This is a 1943 steel wheat cent.I showed him one like this that sold on GC for over $70,000. Could a few of you give me an honest opinion on what you would pay for this one ungraded to show him the difference, to me it looks better than the one on GC. I apologize for the pic i took a quick couple of shots while leaving. Thanks in advance.

There are literally BILLIONS of copper plated cents with bubbles. That's not an error. That's what copper plating does naturally

  Hyland93 It's a common occurrence with plated zinc. It's actually considered damage and in a few years it might look corroded. Kinda like the early copper coins from the 18th and early 19th century. Many planchets were damaged from the start. It makes them less valuable, even today.

You would need a 68 in order for it to have some value. This one's a few bucks at best

Very high grade ones can be worth some money, that one is just a quarter.

Welcome! Thanks for posting. This is a very common coin so not much value. A few bucks at most but very cool design. Many people love this coin.

  BrandyyLynn there is a big difference between this coin and one that sells for $34,000. Number one is condition. Condition is everything. This coin is a VF at best. I sincerely recommend getting a Red Book in using that for a guide for grading and pricing. Apps do not help as much with coins as books can. In many cases they can be confusing and misinforming.

You will find most people have accumulations and not many worth grading. You will have to do a lot of research on grading. You can use the guess the grade here and do education mode just for the series you are working on to find similar examples. That image does not tell me enough of what grade it might be. To the untrained eye many coins look amazing, but then closer looks reveal many hits, dings and hairlines.

Worth $1 which is the face value. Not an old coin. It is a modern presidential $1 coin.

Hi and Welcome! No it's very common and worth it's face value. To help find valuable coins, grab a Red Book. If you really like die varieties, like me, check out the Cherry Pickers series of books too but be sure to get a Red Book first.
