coin collection-how much value?



okay, i know i’m young, and it’s unusual for young people to do this, but i have a coin collection. lol. and i might want to sell it, cuz i started collecting when i was about 8, and i thought it was cool to have all this strange money, but now i realize, that it’s just sitting there, when there are people out there in the world that i’m sure would enjoy it. it’s not a whole lot, but just tell me how much you think it’s worth right now, like on ebay or something. lol.

O! the joy!” nickel from 2005, one lewis and clark nickel from 2004, one louisiana purchase nickel from 2004, one mexican dollar coin.

Rare Coins in my collection?



I wanna know if some coins i have are worth anything. Maybe you could give me the values or just a link to a site that would have them? Anything will help! Please and thankyou!

1993 $5 peso (probably not worth anything just cool right?)

1936 Indian head nickel that someone put a hole thru and made it into a necklace

A chinese quarter i believe. Its round and has 4 chinese symbols going around it with a square hole in the middle. On the back it has two very curly chinese symbols. I have no idea what year it is.

1963 hong kong dime with queen elizabeth the second on the front

1987 Bermuda penny with Elizabeth II on the front and a pig on the back

Two pennies that were broken in half that I found washed up at the Atlantic Ocean. I have no idea what date.

1983 Lincoln Penny. The memorial on the back is the same side up as the head. In other words if youre looking at Lincoln right side up and you turn the penny around with out flipping it you’ll see the memorial right side up. Not in the greatest condition.

1978 half eire. It has a harp on the front and some sort of bird curling its neck around twice and touching it’s beak to it’s feet. I have no idea what country it’s from or if it’s out of circulatoin. I got it from a grocery store because they thought it was a penny.
