marine63 Champion Author Madison Posts:12,428 Points:1,459,075 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Aug 10, 2012 6:18:57 PM Ignore marine63 Report Abuse A dime made in 1873 has cost someone a pretty penny: It sold for $1.6 million at auction. The rare coin was minted in Carson City, Nev., during a one-day run of dimes. An anonymous bidder won the pristine coin, said Chris Napolitano, president of Stack's Bowers Galleries, which auctioned it during an American Numismatic Association convention. The final price included a 15 percent buyer's fee. The 1873-CC "No Arrows" Liberty Seated dime was auctioned Thursday night. It's part of the Battle Born Collection, which contained one of every coin struck in Carson City before the mint there closed in 1893. All 111 pieces were auctioned off Thursday night, fetching a total of nearly $10 million. 1873 dime sells for a pretty penny

All from the Philadelphia mint dated 1917, 1940, 1941, and 1973. There was also a game token, and a flattened penny. The 1973 didn't do much for me, but I was glad to find those wheat ear pennies!

The values are never as high as a rare circulated piece. I only wish I had purchased more of the 1999-S silver proof set than what I did. The good news is that my collection will put my two youngest grandchildren through college after I am gone. The largest expense to a collection these days are the costs of the safety deposit boxes.

In 1965 a nickel alloy was bonded on each side of a copper core in order to create the planchet replacing the silver ones for the dime and quarter. Some silver was used at first for the half, but that was replaced with the same type used for the lesser coins. This enabled the production of coins that looked the same but became worth less as inflation continued.

You can go to a legitimate dealer and show them the coins. Is there any way that you can photograph and e-mail a picture of the coins? I'll send you a friend request.
ladidaCA Champion Author Orange County Posts:6,477 Points:934,445 Joined:Sep 2010	Message Posted: Apr 28, 2012 3:42:14 AM Ignore ladidaCA Report Abuse how do you find out the value of a coin(s)? I have a coin that my parents got for their 50th anniversary it is a gold coin (not sure if it has been gold covered. I know that pre-1975 coins were silver then, I think) 1974, Liberty/Kennedy head, I think it is a half dollar. It is mounted on a granite plaque for the 50th anniversary so I can't see the back side. I also have a large oval frame of various rare coins. What is the best way and best place to find out value and possibly sell them. I talked to a 'buy gold' place today and with out seeing the coin, they said if it was all gold it would be worth about $1500 (95%) of the weight value) what do you think?
