I have this coin collection that is fairly extensive. My oldest coin dates to the Civil War. What I want is to know the actual value of these coins. If someone can give me the link to a site to do this or just give me the answer they will be awarded the best answer. Here are the three coins.
U.S. 1902 Indian Head Penny
U.S. 1884 Liberty Head Nickel
U.S. 1865 Civil War Three Cent Coin

Everything depends on the condition. Don't clean them. Take them to a coin dealer and get appraisal. Tell them you are not selling them but want to know the value for insurance purposes. Don't be surprised if the price seems low. If one of the coins are real nice and rare they may suggest that you get them graded. Use NGC or PCGS. Should cost you about $35 to get one done. Then you will have an item that is priced accurately for the whole world. Coins graded by NGC and PCGS can be bought and sold without inspection and without some guy's subjective opinion. This is the best thing to do if you have rare, very good condition coins.

Well, you can obtain R. S. Yeoman's Guide to U. S. Coins (the Red Book)...It's considered the standard but remember the prices listed are the retail price-the price a dealer would charge you...If you want to see the prices the dealer would PAY you get the Yeoman Blue Book...So much depends on condition- a coin in Good condition might bring 2 or 3 dollars while the same coin in ms (mint state) 65 could bring 100 times as much or even higher. Another excellent source is Coin World newspaper along with Numismatic News(also a newspaper type mag.) Magazine type publications are Coins, Coin Prices, and Coinage Magazines...Also you can check completed auctions on E-bay.

Old watches often do hold their value and, exceptionally, can appreciate in value. If they are genuine Omega watches and cost around $500 twenty years ago it is possible they are still worth several hundred dollars or more, but you can only find out for sure by checking with an expert. I suggest you find somebody who deals in secondhand watches locally and go ask them for a valuation. You might find some guidance from eBay auctions or one of the several books published which gives rough valuations of old watches, but you need to know exactly which model you have. The Omega web site might help you - see below.
