I have 3 Liberty head pennies, 1847,1837,1851, need value to sell?

Answer 1

try www.silvertowne.com for an estimate as this is a dealer in old coins. remember there is condition to consider as well.

Answer 2

As Marvin said, you need to: A) Check an appropriate website. The one he suggests is as good as any.
Or B) Take the coins physically to a dealer. If you go this route, you will get a true value i.e.what the dealer will pay you for the coins. Remember that there's a hefty markup, so you won't realize what you possibly could by selling privately, but on the other hand, this is a sale which will be consummated immediately.
You have to decide which is better for you, and remember also that besides condition and rarity, another factor contributing to value is desirability---how many people want the item and how badly.
A third way would be to place these coins into a dealer's auction, where you would be able to set, with the dealer's assistance, a minimum acceptable price, the dealer would do all the work, and would receive from the sale price a commission.
Again, it's up to you to decide.

Answer 3

I'll try my best to assist you. Here's what you need to do:

1) Estimate the grades of your cents using any/both of these 2 pages:
http://www.uscents.com/coppergrade/gradesmatron.html
http://www.uscents.com/coppergrade/gradesmature.html
(click on the images to enlarge)

2) With those grades, check the retail values below:

1837 cent = $25(G-4), $35(VG-8), $50(F-12), $75-$100(VF-20), $125-$200(EF-40), $350-$500(AU-50).

1847 cent = $20(G-4), $27(VG-8), $32(F-12), $40(VF-20), $60(EF-40), $150(AU-50).

1851 cent = same values as 1847.

If your cents grades higher than the grades I listed above, then you need to have them properly appraised by a dealer or numismatist.

The above values are catalog retail prices, and only applicable if you sell to another collector. Dealers will pay you 40%-50% less for grades lower than EF-40, because these grades are still considered as common and low-end. EF and above will be up to your negotiation power, and how desperate the dealer wants the coin. Good luck.

Answer 4

I flip it right side up, walk away, come back a few minutes later and pick it up. Sometimes you have to make your own luck in this world. Although, I don't believe in luck, I like to think of it as divine providence.
