I am not a coin collector, but would like a beat up large cent with the date still showing from 1805 to no later than 1828. If anyone has a beater extra i could buy for a with in reason price like a couple bucks to include postage, I would appreciate a pm.
The why is i want to replace a necklace I lost touring the USA. If the coin has a hole drilled it all the better, but i can drill a hole myself.
I do not want a mint collectible coin, as I will destroy it's value drilling a hole, so a cull is just fine.
I got a lincoln wheat penny in my change today, 1956 D. It was also an error which made it catch my eye. I believe its called a broad strike error, the edge rim of a penny is normally raised but on this one its stamped lower.The edge is actually thinner than the rest of the coin Its seen some wear from over the years and the defect has definitely caused it to wear more than normal. I have no idea of what its value is.

Oh one day one will turn up. I have the antique trade beads now,and i am very good at waiting and finding.
Look up Prarie Edge 'prairieedge' not sure i can post a link and not be accused of selling. This is so you might get an idea of what and why...
Cull coins with a hole drilled in them are what i am after, and most of time are ruined as collectors. I get real silver dollars you can hardly tell were silver dollars and beat them up into other things all the time.
But I don't ruin collectable coins ever. When I come by those they go to collectors.
I do have a few collectable coins, that I like, and or use to show people who are interested in seeing a real coin, as compared to what I would make from them. I beat yp brand new Thaylers dollars when i can get any. I still have a few left not yet beat up, but these are copies coins just still made of silver, not older historical coins.
Hard to believe a 1778 Spanish dollar coin is only worth a few bucks now
I used to casually collect, and I've got some silver dollars, 20th century half dollars, mercury dimes, etc. I know my grandma has a big old jar full of pennies, so are there any I should check out. There are probably some dimes, nickles, and quarters in there too. So any particular ones to look for or beyond a certain date? Also what kind of value would any to look out for be worth?
That's a really complicated question. It isn't just the date, but the condition, how many were minted, how many are left, the demand from collectorrs, etc. Any pre-1965 dimes, quarters, and halves are 90% silver.

Yeah glass antique trade beads.... Native Americans traded furs and hides for these beads. A trade in beads is ages old. I have older made of clay apx 5,000 years old. Natives traded for lots of other things as well.
There are books written for these. I collect them, and used to display them with a Fur Trapper character i developed for schools, as a living historian.
There are hundreds of types, and of these like a bad mint coin, odd ones are worth more.
Your coin jar, if it has pre 1964 dimes, quarters, 1/2s then those coins would be 90% silver.
I forget what year pennies were no longer made of all copper, but finding out is easy. In WW-2 pennies were made of steel for a time, and these teel coins are getting collected and so are getting rare.
I am not a coin collector for the sake of collecting coins, but have some odd silver coins.
Who says your spanish mill dollars are not worth much? On the other hand what's much? And condition in coins is every thing.
I have a spanish mill dollar made in 1812, and it is worth around 28 bucks which is more than it's silver weight. It was a used and circulated coin, so not in mint condition, but not worn out either.
Beware that the import of Ancient Roman Coins is currently on the chopping block (potentially).
Italy and the United States have a 'memorandum of understanding' (MOU) regarding cultural patrimony and associated objects. Right now, ancient coins are not included in that memorandum, however, on April 22nd, a comment period closed regarding the renewal of that MOU and the possible addition of coins to the list of objects prohibited to import is being considered.
What this means is that even if you buy an ancient Roman coin from a dealer in Germany or the UK, it could be confiscated by US customs and given to Italy. This will only impact the US- the rest of the globe will continue to freely transact in them, save for a couple middle-eastern countries that have strict laws regarding the possession of ancient coins.
