	The american part of my coin collection « on: May 11, 2010, 11:34:48 am »

Need some help, got an old coin collection containing mostly European coins but i noticed there was four american coins.

Can anyone help me out, i know they are not rare but are they worth anything at all?

The years are as follows:

One cent - 1927
Five cent - 1927
One dime - 1940
Five cents - 1941

Thank's for your help... Wink

Btw, some people have problems taking sharp pictures on small coins etc, use the Macro mode at your camera (marked with a flower symbol) and try to have a good light source and try to keep at least 4" - 10cm distance from the lens and the pictures will come out great even from the cheapest digi cams.

The 1927 5 cent piece (buffalo nickel) is worth about 7 times face value
The 1940 mercury (winged liberty) dime is worth about 10 times face value
The 1927 1 cent piece (wheaty) is worth about 6 or 7 times face value
The 1941 5 cent (jefferson) is worth about 5 times face value if that is a small s at the right side of the building.

It's actually pretty uncommon to find buffalo nickels where you can actually make out the full date.

Thank's BA for the help!

Yepp, the The 1941 5 cent (Jefferson) has the S on the right hand side of the building.

Got my coin collection from a now lost and gone relative and i think these coins comes from one of his relatives that went to the states by the famous "America line" boat company.

toleary34-

Thank's, well i really love thuntig.com, since it's illegal to use metal detecting equipment here in Sweden except when you apply for special permits, but those are very uncommon and the knowledge how to administrate those permits are very limited unfortunatly.
You actually aren't allowed to use a metal detector in your own back yard without a permit ant that sucks bigtime -in the bad way.

Im a bit curious over the hole in the hip on the buffalo, it seems to be an imperfection caused by a bubble in the material, can anyone verify this "fault" or is it like this on each buffalo nickel?

Thank you all for a superb forum!

seldom-

Thank's for confirming the imperfection, it seems not to be from a tool or other man made damage, so i think it's an imperfection in the raw material.
Do you know if it's affect the value? I have read about some coins having different sorts of imperfections making them uncommon and affects the value.

I know it's not big bucks but I'm always curious and want to learn more facts about things...

I don't know Niobium think we will have to wait on someone who knows more about if that happens, and why.
