To seek information about an gold coin (05/02/2017)

Hi, i am from India . I would like to seek information about an antique gold coin that i have, it is a Royal mint made coin that was made in the year 1871, its a gold coin which has an embossed picture of Queen Victoria on the front side and the back has an embossed picture of a man riding horse which is an error made while the coin was being embossed by the Royal mint.

Penny Errors (08/11/2015)

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a simple coin collector, just Lincoln pennies. If I had the money I would collect them all. I love currency, nothing quite like penny. Anyways, I was wondering where I can send penny errors to be certified and encased. I have found a hopefully new diebreak. I looked online forever to find a photo of it, but never have. I have seven of them now, all identical, only took four years of searching. There was a two year lull with none, and than three in three months. Thanks you for your time and your cool website.

Sincerely,

Question on coins (12/31/2009)

I have a 1971 half dollar in decent shape. It appears to have a double stamp, but not on the numbers only on the round ring. Do you know how much this may be worth, cause I can not find anything about it and live in a small town. Plus how do you find out if a 1944 wheat pennie is worth anything? I have two of them.I am to understand that some 1944 wheat pennies are worth much more but unsure of how to tell really. Do they have two minting marks? I am enclosing a picture and I hope you can make it out clearly as my camera is quite cheap. But if you enlarge the picture and look on the top left of the coin as it has two circles. What does that mean? Was it stamped twice? But only the round stamp is stamped twice and not the letters or numbers. Please let me know. Sincerely, Jimmie Stansberry, Jr

1965 «silver quarters» and Lincoln memorial pennies (04/15/2009)

QUESTION #1 I recently read a book written by Scott Travers, One-Minute Coin Expert — Fifth Edition (2004), House of Collectilbes, Random House. Mr. Travers states, …»In 1965, all dimes and quarters were supposed to be made of copper-nickel—but a very small number of quarters got minted by mistake.» …»Unlike ‘clad’ coins, it won’t have a reddish line around the rim.» I would like to know if this statement is true?

Question #2 With the use of my eye loupe, I was viewing some 2008 Lincoln memorial cents and noticed, on the obverse(?) (head side) obvious differences on Lincoln’s ears, facial expressions (mouth, chin, and eyes (eyes appear to be more open and pupils more prominent or point of vision might be straight ahead or looking in a downwards direction. I was wondering if any of my observations are correct, and if so, how about value? Or perhaps I might need to change my eyeglass prescription?

Coins of Saxony and Prussia (03/06/2009)

Hello —

I stumbled upon your sight while trying to determine the history of a very large silver coin I found in a box of my Mothers things after she died. On the front it says Johann V.G.GO. Koenig Von Sachsen It has the mans bust facing left with a tiny F under it. On the obverse is a crowned coat of arms with a tied back drape around it. The wording over the top are 2 Thaler VII Eine F?Mark 3 1/2 Gulden. Below says Vereins 1855 Munze. unfortunately someone drilled a tiny hole through it near one edge. Around the edge says Sachsen Gott Segne interspersed with crowns, stars and branches or antlers. Any help would be appreciated. I also found an 1805 coin with something like a Prussian eagle in what looks like 4 GB and Wilhelm III Borus on the front.

If you can answer, thank you for your trouble.

1954 SJ wheat penny (01/09/2009)

About 40 years ago I found 1954 wheat penny with the mint marking «SJ». I was about 10 years old at the time. My dad found a coin book at the time that listed it’s value at $1.50.
A few years ago I told a coin collector about it and he said it was worth a lot.
I can not find any place that it is listed and I was told by one dealer that someone added the «J». It does not look that way to me.

Rather than a known striking error such a double image or strike over, it has a comma-shaped glob of extra copper on it at the right edge. It absolutely does not SEEM to be from wear or nicking. I could not find any reference to such a known error. If unique, does it add any numistic value? Your opinion is appreciated . Thank You. Holly Ptacek

Info on german coin (06/02/2008)

Hello,

I am trying to find some information on a coin my husband recently purchased. It is a small, extremely thin coin, bronze in colour, about half an inch in diameter. The obverse shows a bust-length profile of a man in an 18th-century style periwig. Around the edge it reads «LUD XIV …» (I wasn’t able to make out the other letters and haven’t had a chance to look with a magnifying glass yet). The reverse shows a lion with «JOHANN CHRISTIAN REICH» around the edge.

The vendor we bought it from (at a local antiques fair) had it marked as an 18th century German coin. I don’t know much about numismatics, but it seems strange to me that there is a proper name on the reverse, and no denomination markings (as far as I can tell). We had wondered if it were some sort of commemorative medal.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Jenny Herring

Old coins and banknotes (01/08/2008)

Hi there:
My mother in law just gave me a big bag full of coins from her parents that passed away.

Several Indian head pennies, buffalo nickels, two dollar notes, half centavos (Filipinis) etc. There is one coin I cannot find any information on:
Deutsches Reich 1876 Zwei Mark (on one side with a family crest image it appears) on the other side it says:
Freie Hansestadt Hamburg and the picture is of two lions on either side of what appears to be a castle and perhaps another crest.

Can you please look at these pennies and give me some idea of what the value of these two unique, one of a kind pennies would be.

1936 Penny — Has the letters «ERT» indented and backwards on Lincoln’s shoulder. After the ERT and after the T, there’s a little portion of the «Y» and in the rim it appears to be an «L». On the backside of the coin, the «A» in America is very narrow and is not consistent with the other a’s.

1951D Penny — On the front, the date and Lincoln’s Jacket are not consistent with other pennies from that year. Some of the words «IN GOD WE TRUST» look as if they appear to be molded into the rim of the penny. On the backside of this coin, on the right side, the wheat stalk on the top has the grain raised off to the right. This coin has been un circulated for approximately 40 years as it has been in my coin book since boyhood.

Any insite and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Tim Ash

The ancient Greeks coined the term ‘atomos’, meaning the smallest possible separation of matter. In ancient times, both the Greeks and Indians had philosophised about the existence of the atom. However, it was first hypothesised scientifically by the British chemist John Dalton in the early years of the 19th century, A___________. Since then, smaller subatomic particles have been discovered and the part they play as the basic building blocks of the universe is clear. We now know that atoms are made up of differing numbers of electrons, neutrons and protons, and these too are made up of even smaller particles.

Dalton’s theory about atoms was not immediately accepted by chemists, although one reason for this was Dalton’s well-known carelessness in experimental procedures. However, we know that Dalton was correct in almost everything he said in his theory of the atom. He described an atom, even though he had never seen one, B___________. It could combine with the atoms of other chemical elements to create a compound.

Almost a century later the first subatomic particles were discovered. By the 1930s, physicists were working with new ideas C___________. In turn, these developments helped them to develop quantum mechanics.

In chemistry, the atom is the smallest part of an element D___________. The difference in the number of subatomic particles makes one atom different from another.

Subatomic particles also have another purpose. If there is the same number of electrons and protons in the atom, E___________. A difference between the two means the atom has an electrical charge. In other words, it produces electricity. This electricity means the electrons can become attracted to each other. In this way, atoms can bond together to form molecules, and when enough molecules are joined together we have matter F___________.

2) as a particle that cannot change its nature
3) when he suggested it was the smallest particle that could exist
4) that we can see
5) that can still be recognised
6) then it will be electronically neutral

Coins have been an important part of humanity since people began settling in towns and trading with one another. Initially, a barter system was in place. But, around the 5th or 6th century BCE, coinage was introduced as a method of payment, however, the first area to use a coin is still up for debate. Bartering meant that a person would have to trade any item or service in order to get what they wanted. Unfortunately, this would not always work because if you didn’t have anything that the other person wanted, then you would not be able to trade with them. According to Adam Smith, the father of modern economics, this «double coincidence of wants» of the barter system deepened as people began to specialize in specific trades. Because of this specialization, people became dependent on others to produce and provide what they could not. In addition to this problem, the barter system also made it difficult to measure the value of what was being traded. Furthermore, it was harder to preserve wealth when trading for items that could be used up within a matter of days. In order to circumvent these problems, societies created coins and currency as a medium for business. Today, we still use this system in modern societies. However, coins and currency are also seen as collectible items and as a means of investing. Below, the history of coins will be discussed along with how they were and are produced, specific designs and more. Click an era below to find out more!

The History of Ancient and Medieval Coins

The First Coins Found in the World

According to western history, the first coins found were in modern-day Turkey. This was known in ancient times as the Lydian Kingdom. These coins, found around 700 B.C. did not require intricate machines to be created. The coins were a naturally occurring combination of gold and silver, known as electrum. In order to make the coins stand out from any other mineral, the Lydians carved designs into one side of the coin. The other side was marked with indents. Perhaps as another means of making the currency stand out. It is speculated that the coins were weighed in order to determine their value. This makes sense as it was hard to create a consistent design for all the coins. In addition, the coins came in different shapes and sizes since they were used in their current state. 

Ancient Chinese Coins

Around the same time as the Lydians, Ancient China was also creating the first known coins. However, before these coins, sea snail shells known as cowries were being used during the Shang Dynasty. Eventually, pieces of gold were used with letters of Chinese cities on them. After this, knifes of various metals were used as currency. It wasn’t until around 220 BC that coin money became popular throughout the country. Most of these Chinese coins feature some sort of square or round hole. This was deliberately added so that coins could be tied to a string or wire for easier transport. 

The Romans

Beginning around 27 BC, the Romans developed a system where the value of the coin was worth what was stated on the coin instead of how much it weighed. This was a step towards what we call fiat money. This is what allowed the Romans to later devalue their currency by decreasing the amounts of precious metals in each coin. This devalues each coin because the coin will always say it is worth $5 dollars for example. But, if the coin goes from being 90% gold to 25% gold, then the individual is losing value in each coin. The Romans used copper, bronze, silver, and gold for their coins. Early on, the Romans had the following denominations:

400 copper coins = 100 bronze coins = 25 silver coins = 1 gold coin(1/40 lb. of Gold, then 1/50 lb. of Gold) (27 B.C. — 212 A.D.)
1000 debased metal = 40 bronze coins = 10 silver coins = 1 gold coin(1/60 lb. of Gold) (294 — 312 A.D.)
180 bronze coins = 24 silver coins = 1 gold coin(1/72 lb. of Gold) (312 A.D. Onward)

The History of the Industrial Era Coins

Hammered Coins

In ancient times, up until the 1550 AD, the process of creating coins involved striking a piece of metal between two dies. This process, known as «hammered coinage», was a slow process that sometimes required 2 people, one to hammer and one to hold the dies in place. Eventually, sheets of metal of the correct diameter were used to create multiple coins at once. This was used to meet the rising demand of coins used in business transactions. Unfortunately, this process created a few problems. Trying to create multiple coins at once made the coins more generic. This led to the easier counterfeiting of coins. This is because none of the coins were the exact diameter that they were supposed to be. Furthermore, the coins were not perfectly round. This allowed for the edges of the coins to be clipped of precious metals. This is why another method was needed. However, it wasn’t until the renaissance and the industrial era that the technology was available to invent a better method.

Casting Coins

Casting coins is the process of pouring melted metal into a pre-made mold. This process was an alternative to creating coins during ancient times. It was used mostly in Asia. This method was more beneficially than the «hammering method» because up to a dozen coins could be created from one mold as opposed to just one per strike. In addition, cleaner, more refined coins were produced which prevented fraudulent coins and removing of slivers of precious metals from coins. 

Milling Coins

During the Industrial Revolution, «milled coinage», or «milled edge coins», became mainstream. Also known as machine-struck coinage, this process simply means creating coins using a machine. During the industrial revolution, the Watt steam engine was created. This steam engine was used in all facets of manufacturing businesses. As more and more people went to work in factories, the need for more coins became much greater. This is when an investor known as Matthew Boulton used the steam engine to power a coin-making machine. Eventually, this led to a contract to mint coins for the East India Company, and another contract to supply machines to the British Royal Mint.

Coins in the Modern World

Collecting Coins

Throughout time, people have been attracted to the shiny, special allure of coins. In the modern era, there are several people who collect coins simply because they like them. There are various coins that commemorate special events or people or organizations. When news of these coins is released, there are several people who line up to ensure they can get their piece of history. Regardless of an individual’s budget, there is something available for everyone that is looking start a coin collection. Whether it is an annual proof set or a rare gold coin, there is a multitude of options available for the modern collector.

Coins as an Investment

 

Today, people see coins as more than just a means of doing business or as something to collect. As stocks have become more and more popular in the last 150 years, the concept of investing in coins has followed suit. People are able to obtain coins for either their numismatic value or their precious metal content. The gains that an individual can get from looking at the precious metal content is obvious. The market prices of gold, silver, and other metals can be measured against what you would be getting from a specific coin. The other aspect, numismatic investing, is a little bit trickier. There are various factors to consider when investing in a coin. Aspects such as the coin, the date, grade, design, mintage and overall likability of the coin can affect the value. 

The Metal Content in Coins Today  

Many of the coins used in modern society today contain little to no silver or gold. A good example of this is the Kennedy Half-Dollar used in the United States. It was first created in 1964 as a tribute after President Kennedy was assassinated. The coin was composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The next year, the silver content was reduced to about 40% silver. Eventually, all silver was removed from the Half-Dollar in 1971. This is just one example of what has happened to several U.S. coins throughout the years. The government realized that the precious metal content became more valuable than what the coin’s face value stated. This is why the contents of U.S. coins have changed over the years. Another example of this is the penny. It is a common misconception that the U.S. penny is copper. Ever since 1982, coins are now 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. Before, they were 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. The melt value of these older pennies is 0.0144. This means that people could theoretically get more value, albeit small, by melting these pennies for their copper content.
