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

added 10 photos

So i can make this easier, my grandfather was a banker at 2 banks for over 40 years but also a business man in which my mother and I now run.. He left us this massive collection and there are so many rolls labled and unlabeled circulated and uncirc, several errors and some already protected.. Has anyone else got this type of inheritance and how did you find was the best way to go through all of this. I dont want to get rid of all of them but i dont need 50+ rolls of 1940-46 or 25+ rolls of 1962 or even rolls from 1901-30s.. of course i want to find as many errors as possible or even make someones dreams come to life but i have been scanning with microscope every night since Feb and have barely made a dent. Man it will burn you out quick but then your head goes no there could be the most valuable coin in the country in there (i wish) keep scanning. When his estate closed out he was worth 14.7m coins isnt the only thing I have to go through for he collected stamps art antiques etc.. The pictures below is only half at least. There are bank bags fully loaded with coins (pennys nickels dimes quarters) oldest so far was a 1822 and probably 30+ walking libs. HELP! LOL

Looking for opinions.There is plenty of pmd on it but what struck me was the humps on the obverse there is nothing on the reverse that pushes through to cause it.The rim is flattened out strangely.The mint mark looks filled in. Looks as if there is possible doubling on the E in liberty and the second R in quarter.It is difficult to see in the pics but looks as if there is another E R & T in liberty in between the letters starting with E that had been flattenend and near the same size as the struck letters. Could this have been a highly sought after piece before it got littered with all of the pmd? Or could some of that been errors from the mint i should say?

Man, what a great problem to to have! Its tough because we all have to decide in life what's the most important thing today and when your not 12, picking thru coin rolls isn't always on the top of that list. Personally, I would sell them as is. Yeah, you might find a 1909 S VDB in 63 in one of those rolls but you could also go buy a lottery ticket instead for the same results, and a lot less time spent. If my kids wanted to do it, I would absolutely sit there with them and go thru the rolls but if not, I'd list them for sale. My two cents.

Welcome! Nice coins for sure. I don't think you should send any for grading so far from going thru them but that doesn't mean they aren't valuable. As a rule of thumb, I don't grade anything unless I have a lot of coins to grade to make it worth it. Grading cost less and less per coin when you send in more with one order.

  RyanG I wondered about that because I have been scanning these coins for like 3 or 4 months now and I have a case full of errors. When it came to my grandfather he knew what was valuable as for he was a banker at two different banks and and I noticed that he was collecting some key dates and lots of them there's so many rolls that I haven't even touched yet I'll put a picture down below so you can kind of get an idea but I probably have anywhere from 50 plus coins that have double dies strike throughs cuds Etc I just don't know what's worth sending in or what sells great

Does not look like an error, look like heat was applied. It looks very much like coins that went through a house fire but not quite as hot as the bubbling is less and there is darkness to the coin. To me, post mint damage.

Coins tone different depending on their environment. Possibly outdoors a long time. You will see a lot of older silver coins with this toning but not many newer clad ones. I think it's a nice look!

  Thank you yes I think it’s a cool look, the 81 was sitting in a safe that’s why it’s in great condition because when I came accross it years ago it looked odd so I put it aside and the 74 I found back in 1999 working at a store I kept it in a pocket sock soun bag that I had forgot about. I just didn’t know if maybe the metals were different or anything so thank you very much for the reply!!

  RyanG looks like a die crack running through the neck, possibly a die chip on the the chin and under the eye, plus there's a o shape just below a little south from the back of ear that's raised, and there's a little area straight back from the ear towards the back of the head that shows raised lines of a pattern that doesn't belong
