1 indian head 5 dollar gold peice 1911

most of them are in pretty good condition, about average (they are all circulated)

thank you all!
also please look at my other questions

Chosen Answer:

The Sac,SBA and Ike dollars are worth a dollar, they have no collectors value in circulated condition at this time. The 1966 Kennedy 1/2 is 40% silver and is worth the silver value the others are worth the 50 cents. I already told you about the Walking Liberty 1/2. The 1880 & 1921 Morgan dollars as well as the 1923 Peace dollar are worth .50 to about in circulated grades no matter what the mint marks are except if you have an 1880-CC Carson City then it’s value is 0.00 and up. The Bicentennial coins are only worth their stated vaule unless they are the special silver ones with the mint packaging. The 1913 1/2 is worth and up with no mint mark and the D & S and up. Mint mark is on the reverse at bottom. The 1898 1/4 is worth .50 and up nomint mark, the ) and the S . The 1911 dime .70 and up no matter what the mint mark. The 1913 TY-2 Buff .75 and up, The 1930 & 35 .65 and up. 1888 Indian cent .50 and up and the 1901 and up. The 1884 V nickel , the 1891 & the 1901 .25 all and up. The 1911 indian 5.00 in grade extra fine and up from there. When I say up the bottom line value given is for grade good to very good and if in a higher grade then they are worth more. Values are about what a dealer would pay.

Do coins get taken out of the system or is there an infinate amount of money?

Posted by on Monday, 12 December, 2011

I don’t know if anyone has asked this on here already, but with the new style coins coming out, will the old ones be taken out of the system, or is there an infinate amount of money floating around?

Chosen Answer:

The old coins will be removed as they are recieved in the banks. The amount of money in circulation is governed by the amount of gold reserves held by the bank of England otherwise money would be worthless if money was printed and not covered by the gold reserves.

Looking to start a old coin collection does anyone have 1800s morgan dollars for sale. let me know?leave email

Posted by on Monday, 12 December, 2011

Chosen Answer:

Since condition is so important on those coins, the first thing you might wish to do is get a reference book of some sort. I found out quickly that it is very easy to pay way too much if you don’t know something about grading coins.
After that, check out what is for sale on eBay. Watching what other people pay for coins will give you an idea of what you should pay.
I don’t have any for sale, but I can answer specific questions about other coins you may see for sale. You can contact me by clicking on my avatar.

A collection of 33 coins, consisting of nickels dimes and quarters has a value of $3.30, if there are 3 times?

Posted by on Sunday, 11 December, 2011

A collection of 33 coins, consisting of nickels dimes and quarters has a value of .30, if there are 3 times as many nickles as quarters, and one half as many dimes as nickles, how many of each coin is there?

Chosen Answer:

Given:
N + D + Q = 33.
Q = N/3;
D = N/2.
Substitute:
N + N/2 + N/3 = 33;
(6/6)N + (3/6)N + (2/6)N = 33;
(11/6)N = 33;
N = 18.
Therefore
D = 18/2 = 9 and
Q = 18/3 = 6.
To check,
18 + 9 + 6 = 33,
and also:
.05*18 + .10*9 + .25*6 = .90 + .90 + .50 = .30.

Im looming to expand my coin collection into getting graded coins. So I want some advice?

Posted by on Sunday, 11 December, 2011

I want so start buying some graded examples of coins penny, nickle, dime ect. All the coins are graded by PCGS and sold under list value, however I have the choice of getting proofs graded PR69 or PR70. What should I get? would it be worth getting the PR70 vs the PR69s and what coins are likely to go up in value in the future.
Also should I but the silver or clad proof? Some people told me that silver is not a real coin while the clad ones represent real coin specimens.

Chosen Answer:

For issues in the last ten years or so, PR70 populations are large enough for the prices to have come down to nearly the levels of older PR69s, and the difference in price between these newer PR69s and PR70s is not that great, so you should buy the PR70. With older coins, PR70s are rare and expensive and for the collector with deep pockets, something most of us aren’t. So, you should buy the highest grade you can afford.

Whoever told you a silver coin is not a real coin is an idiot. You’re talking about proofs. All proofs, whether clad or silver, are made for collectors. Clad business strikes are the coins made for circulation, and they are rare in high grade (at least, until the last few years), but those do not carry the PR designation. They are MS (mint state) coins, which are completely separate from proofs. Some collectors of the American silver and gold Eagles, state quarters and presidential dollars insist that the only truly complete set consists of both business strikes and proofs, and technically that’s true, but if you prefer just the proofs, there’s nothing wrong with that.

Do a lot of research before you start to buy. Track eBay sales for at least a month on what you’re thinking about buying, and compare those prices to store dealers, coin show dealers and online dealers. In most cases, you’ll buy cheaper on eBay. Just don’t forget about the shipping costs.

Chosen Answer:

The Washington coin sounds like a presidential dollar that came out last year, it is worth a dollar. Without knowing more about the two world coins, no one here can really help you. We need to know what is on both sides of them or a scan or photo’s would be nice.

How do I make a professional jewelry steam cleaner for coins?

Posted by on Saturday, 10 December, 2011

I want to start making personalized coins – I need someone tell me how to make a professional steam cleaner for cleaning gold and silver coins

Chosen Answer:

The basic method of cleaning jewelry/coins consists
of 4 simple steps.

First, wipe the jewelry/coins with soft cloth soaked in a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Don’t use harsh detergents and stain removers for delicate jewelry.
Secondly, wash the jewelry/coins with warm water again. But don’t soak the jewelry in water. Some jewelry, like those using silver and gold can be damaged by water.

Third, polish the jewelry/coins with soft cloth. Don’ use brushes or any bristled item for fine jewelry/coins.

And lastly, dry the jewelry/coins thoroughly before keeping it in a pouch or box.
There are some kinds of jewelry/coins and gemstones that require unique approaches to cleaning. E.g. lapis lazuli should be cleaned with a mixture of cold water with little mild soap.
