It looks to me like you have a circulated Jefferson nickel and Washington quarter..Worth about 30 cents.
Where in God's Name are these posters coming from????? It's an invasion I tell ya!
I'm glad you found your garage.
I lost mine once, but that was after a bottle and a half of Chivas.
must be a full moon.

You know, back in the mid-sixties, I use to bet my dad, uncles and granddad I could guess the date of the nickel they have in their pocket. Odds were it was a 1964!!! LOL
Oh my, did I just tell everyone how old I am?????
Were you digging in my sofa?
How about the closeup shot of the nickel, as if it means something. ABCDE12345 must have created a new account.
Given the person's name, and the question, I suspect that we have either a non-native or first generation American or a young potential collector here who does not know much about coin collecting and/or US coinage. Let's be respectful, and hopefully bring a new collector into the fold.
DP, just because a coin is 40 to 50 + years of age old does not make it valuable. In many cases there are literally hundreds of millions, if not billions, of a coin of a given date and mintmark. As long as we are not talking varieties (e.g. double die obverse, DDO, or double die reverse, DDR, or repunched mintmark, RPM) most CIRCULATED Jefferson nickels (even those from the 1930's), and essentially all CIRCULATED Washingtons from 1965 to the present, are worth face value... 5 cents and 25 cents. From 1965 to the present, essentially all business strike Washington quarters are clad and have no precious metal content. Washington quarters from 1932 to 1964 are 90% silver, so they have, at a minimum, a silver value. There are also quite a few Washington quarters from 1932 - 1940 (many of the D mint coins) that have a numismatic value far exceeding their precious metal value.
With regards to Jefferson nickels, during World War II, nickel was in short supply, so the US Government from 1942 - 1945 made nickels out of a different metallic composition, which included silver. These nickels had a large mintmark that is easy to see stamped on the reverse. Given their silver content, even circulated Jefferson nickels of this period have a precious metal value that is well above face value of the coin. Currently they are worth a little more than $1.

Thank all. I was interested in coin collection recently, so I try to research everyday in order to have more knowledge. Thanks
I need pics of the garage before I can make a definitive decision on the coins

That's great! We are here to help.
Those are all common coins with high mintages. One thing to note about collecting coins or any kind of antique- age does not necessarily equal value. With coins, it's all about condition and rarity. I suggest buying a copy of 'A Guide Book Of United States Coins', commonly called 'The Red Book' and spending some time with it. It's the perfect way to get into collecting as it provides a good deal of knowledge about US coins as well as which ones are rare and which ones aren't.
Sorry if I offended...Did I ?
I'm just guessing, but I think you are Philipino Mr./Ms. DuyPhan?
Wow. People are way out of line and rude with some of the posts in this thread.
This site has a somewhat tarnished reputation as having rude and negative members and I can clearly see why.
A lot of uninformed people come here for knowledge or info.
There was a lower shelf like appearance to that nickel. Not special but almost like an extra step.
It's disheartening to see a flurry of condescending comments, funny or not.
If anyone had looked at the OPs history, grammar structure, and recent posts, you might have deduced they were;
A- new to coins
B- English is a second language
C- excited about coins
I'm surprised to see respected members or high post count people dropping smart ass comments like pennies (cents) at the fast food drive through window.

I been collecting coins off the street (and yes the Drive thru Windows also, I'm desperate !) and what I learned that its just as fun looking at street trashy coins as it is valuable expensive coins. True its the bottom end of the hobby but its all money.

Comments like the one you left (LOL, WUT) on the guys thread that was seeing aliens on a Roosevelt dime? Can't have it both ways.

Welcome to the Forums DuyPhan, as many said those are pretty common coins and even though I hate to say it they are kinda old but common, Love you're Pictures, I'm still working on my photo skills, so maybe a new camera is in the future, anyhow and again Welcome, and remember if you have a question, Don't be shy.......ASK.......there is a TON of knowledgeable members here.

Too funny. I did the same thing even until the mid-1970's and I was still right almost half the time. Even today I occasionally look at the Jeff nickel dates to see if any might be my old "beloved" 1964's. They don't show up so often any more. :'(
Some of you new ones have not been here long enough to identify the same people who keep creating new accounts and posting crazy stuff. If you have not seen it in the last month, you need to look harder.
If this person is legit, he or she, if they were smart enough to find this board, could have just as easily punched in the junk above in the price guide or any number of other places on the internet. Come on!
PS, they are even chiming in on each others threads! MS64 RED? LOL.

darned putin and his antics
You are correct and I thought of that when posting this, however, the alien coin thread has a VERY different vibe to it that this one.
Sorry if I seem like a hypocrite.
I think that Raphael dime thread is intentional entertainment. This particular thread is about garage finds and not aliens. It was very confusing with walls of text and imagined faces.

Good morning!
It's clearly that I don't need to be American people to collect coins alright?Yes I have no idea about coin collections but I love it since I have bought storage unit from American.I joined this forum in order to have more informations, researching what I dont know. Have a nice day!
Storage unit found today!
Not sure. Do you find these attractive? Now I get it. It's a joke right?
I like the 1986 Silver Eagle. That was the first year of mintage. Not overly valuable, but worth more than an ounce of silver for sure. Don't be offended by the people in the earlier posts. One of the reasons I do not post nearly as much as I used to is because of people like that. Very disrespectful and rude. Always easy to hide behind a computer screen, but certainly they are not that way in person. And, certainly some of those people probably have very little knowledge of the hobby anyway to offer any good advice.
That's a good find! Nice toning. Silver American Eagle also called ASE. It's a silver dollar, of fine silver. The value varies based on the spot price of silver. It will have some additional value with the tone and good condition.
Don't wipe or clean your coins.
Nice find and welcome to the coin hobby!
Best wishes.
Rocco

Very nice silver eagle. Also welcome to the forum. I hope you can take a joke.
Welcome.
Of course I don't care. They are collecting coin to make a living but I don't. I love stories of coin which contains history of United States. Thank for all advices. Happy treasure hunting
Jeezy all I could find in my 60s rolls of Jefferson nickles were 1964's.
There are many events in US history tied to coins. For example after president Kennedy was killed, his image replaced Ben Franklin on the Half Dollar in 1964.
In 1942 a shortage of copper and nickel led to the creation of the silver nickel. These silver nickels have a large P D or S over the building (Monticello) on the back of the coin (called reverse)

A nice way to learn the History of coins and the US>

If you find coins (cash) and don't pay for it they are always a good find !
I agree. I have bought a lot of storage units recently. Mostly, I got a lot of trash which goodwill won't be accepted. Everyday i bring to goodwill or thrift shop at leat 1 ton of clothes. They hated me already. Only thing i keep is baseball card, coin, gold and arts. My wife wants to kill me because i spent too much for hunting treasure.
What is going on with this coin guys?
Just normal wear and tear and damage. Looks like someone maybe experimented on it. Or it's just totaled from other environment factors.
The 1989-D Lincoln Cent looks to be counterfeit to me.
stuck in a dryer for a while?
does the 1989d Penny have little bubbles on the surface? can't tell from the pic

But welcome regardless! Great thread

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
