I have about $10 worth of coins but they were minted in the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, & 00s.
my oldest coin is a steel quarter dated 1941.
Some are special coins like a steel penny, steel quarter, buffalo nickel, etc.
Do you think they will be worth something in like 18 or 20 years?

Since none of them are older than the 40's, I would say they are worth little more money than their original value at this point. I had a buffalo nickel from 1921 that I took to a coin dealer who told me it was worth 6 cents in its present condition which was pretty worn. Keep your coins looking new and hold onto them. Leave them in your will to your grandchildren. They should be able to get much more for them than you would in your lifetime.

Unless a coin is damaged or very worn, then I don't see why it won't appreciate in value; but how fast or how much it can appreciate very much depends on (i) the condition and state of preservation of the coin (ii) whether it's a scarce/rare date (iii) the demand and popularity of the coin. There's a possibility that among your bunch of coins, there's a key date, or doubled die, or other errors. Look through them with the aid of : http://www.pcgs.com/prices/
Values aside, nothing beats the joy and fun of going through a bunch of old coins and the history they came with. Also, happy to inform you that your 1941 quarter is not steel, but silver.

Try www.heritageauctions.com they are like the eBay of coins. You can see coins being auctioned off in real time. This will give you a good idea of what yours are worth. The steel coins might be worth a good bit right now, but coins always appreciate in value.

Gold funds are very regularly occurring on the 2nd and looking out a client should not be a situation. A coin broking will purchase them from you yet at a pair of 20% low fee. he's out to make a earnings. Wheat pennies are a splash harder to furnish you a parent on. All are worth something yet concern is much greater significant with them and whether or not they have a mint mark or not. they're additionally very regularly occurring with coin creditors because of the fact they don't look to be relatively high priced. in case you have dates in the 20s they could be worth a minimum of 50 cents. some lots lots greater suitable than that. 31-s a minimum of $80. 1909 svdb is the king. worth a minimum of $seven hundred and as much as 1000's.

I definately think so. I love coins too. Check google for some coin collecting appraisers or something...I bet you can find a lot of good information....
Another thing, even if it doesn't turn out to increase a whole lot in actual dollar value, just the fact that you enjoy coins makes it worthwhile!!!
Have fun!!!
