O, what's your end-goal with your collection of coins? Fun to look at, sell for fiat eventually, or?
I buy and sell weekly , but yes , my personal collections are investment .Hopefully we will not need it and we can leave it all to the kids and Grandkids. It is fun to look at , an entire collection of Indian Cents , Buffalo nickels , Barber Halves etc . , then remember the History of those years , significant events etc that still impact life . 1913 is a big year for coins ( several fairly rare ones , 1913 S dime , 1913 S nickels two types , 1913 D nickels two types, 1913 Half , 1913 Liberty nickel etc ) , think of the significant things happening then . Then there are the Depression years , some of those they did not mint much money .Interesting . Good way to accumulate precious metals that is more fun than bullion too , if you stay in the gold and silver series coins.Originally Posted by FSP-Rebel

Well , in Very Fine I could probably only sell it for around 170 frn's , in Fine , about 125 , more than both of those in better condition like Extra Fine , About Uncirculated. I would be more interested if it was an 1850 or 54 , I have an 1851 , 52 & 53 .To make you a fair offer I would just about have to have it in my hand. I guess I could offer a 100 now to a mailing address and then more later after I see it if it is in desireable condition .
i am taking it down to the coin dealer in town today. Will see what they say condition is. I may just ebay it or keep it? I don't like to keep collectable gold just bullion stuff. Thanks for responding!

Today , I picked up a hand poured 1.4 ounce silver bar of 50 percent silver, an 1899 O silver Barber Half Dollar , a 1942 silver Mercury Dime in About Uncirculated .A 1912 D nickel in Fine , a 1925 D Buffalo nickel in Very Good , a 1919 S nickel. An 1858 Flying Eagle Cent , an 1859 Indian Cent , a 1909 VDB Cent in About Uncirculated , a 1921 Wheat Cent , 1922 D Cent in Fine and an Uncirculated 1949 Wheat Cent.A set of Cents from 1941 to 1960. Slow day , but that was fun anyway .
Today , I picked up a pair of 1911 S Cents . I needed one for a fourth set I started that is nearly done .
Do you have any 1943 US pennies made of copper?

Nope , never seen one except photos .
I have also never seen an 1856 Flying Eagle Cent.
The VDB mark on the wheat penny is not rare, but still scarce. The ones with the altered mint mark are supposed to be the most valuable:

A 1909 VDB in Extra Fine to About Uncirculated list , wholesale dealer in the 12 1/2 to 13 1/2 range , but in reality go lower. The 1909 S VDB starts at 560 FRN's in Good. I saw a Very Fine sell on Fri for 650 .
The ordinary 1909 Wheat Cent trade at about 1 gallon of gasoline . A 1909 Indian Cent list at , starting at 9 FRN's but in reality trade for less. A 1909 S Wheat Cent starts at about 50. The 1909 S Indian Cent starts @ around 325 FRN's .

I could actually use about 4 or 5 1909 S Wheat Cents.
Today , I picked up an 1883 nickel in XF/ AU , it is a gold plated " racketeer " nickel . Some other nickels , a 1916 S in Very Good , 1920 S in Very Fine , and 1926 D , 1926 S both in Good .
I have a few of these buried somewhere:
US Silver Certificate; I don't think you can really get silver for it, at least not anymore.

Up to 1965 you could have walked in my bank and exchanged it for five silver dollars .I have a few of these buried somewhere:
