Coins Worth Money

Many people ask, “What coins  are worth Money?” The first myth about coins is that older means it is worth more money. Older doesn’t mean its worth more it just means it is older. There have been many coins made over the years and the value on coins is based on rarity not age. The first thing you want to figure out is which coins did they make less of. For pennies the 1909-S VDB and the 1943 copper penny are the key dates. The penny is the most highly minted coin in the world not just the U.S. Most pennies made before 1959 are worth about 2 cents each. Why? Because they minted billions of them. So what coins should you look out for?

  1. Quarters, Dimes and Half Dollars 1964 and Before. These are all made of 90% silver and at the minimum have silver value. 
  2. Dollar Coins 1935 and Before. Again these are made from 90% silver and at least have silver value.
  3. Any coin with the CC mint mark. These were minted at the Carson City Mint which no longer exsists. Which makes them a go to for serious collectors.3
