My guess is a 1903 wheat penny could bring quite a fortune.

I've been looking for one of those for a while.

Kay

About how much would a 1901 weat penny go for???

IndianHeadMan

perhaps you should check out this link it talks about wheat pennies and when they were made. Wheat pennies were started in 1909.

1903 1.50 cirulated to 150.00 uncirulated the wheaties 2.00 a roll to 200.00 each. the peace dollar 5.00 good to 25.00 mint state. the morgan with no mint mark 10.00 and up depending on the grade and tone

That must be why I never found a 1903.

MacCoin

they are playing with you because an 03 is an indian head cent

Kay

Im not sure if this is a wheat penny, It says United Sates of America above the face of an indian and
underneath the face it says 1901

Kay

So, this how to encourage young collectors ? Some of you should go put your heads down on your desk.

It may be the rare "United Sates" variety, guys!

kay,

to give you an idea of the value of those 2 silver dollars, an 1883 morgan and a1922 peace dollar are the exact coins i carry around and play with at work - not worth much compared to the other years, but that doesn't make them any less cool!

i agree laser, we were just having fun

Kay

I found an indian head coin from 1862 also, about how much would that go for???

baccaruda

see if you can find a golden-red one that says 1877.

The price of the coin depends on it's condition which is a number between 1 and 70. Anything 60 and above means the coin has not been circulated.

You can check prices here

The '62 is a little better coin. If it's not beat up too bad it'll bring about $3 at
you local shop.

Kay

The site i'd been at said that it could be worth 1,000+ it's deff been serculated but it looks like its in
good condition, U can make out all the words perfectly, their a little worn tho, and the back still has
detail, its not as warn as the one from 1901, I dont really no about the grading thing, im reading
about it right now tho

Kay,

The chance that you have a really expensive coin from your lot is slim. Even if there was 1 or 2 worth some money, it probably won't be enough for college. I suggest you look into qualifying for scholarships. To be sure, take your coins to a local coin dealer and get their opinion on your coins. Hope this helps.

I can't believe any of you are buying this schtick.

Welcome to the boards, Kay! Welcome to the wonderful world of coin collecting. I highly suggest you listen to the fabulous, free advice from the experienced members (more experienced than me) on this board. If you don't, you are in great danger of falling out of grace with us, and it could happen faster than you think. Not to be rude, but the reason I caution you is that we have a very low tolerance for stupidity. Ignorance is excusable, but once you've been informed, the responsibility is all yours.

Thanks for listening! And once again, best wishes from all of the good people here (if I'm allowed to speak on their behalf).



Russ, if this thread gets any longer, I will feel stupid.
