How much would i profit with 2 liberty coins minted in 1880 and 1883?

Answer 1

It's impossible for us to answer you with a definitive amount as to what the value may be. Without very clear pictures we can't even come close. You can google it to find out a ball park figure or try posting pictures on this website:

Your best bet would be to take your coins to a local coin dealer. They will be able to tell you so much more by evaluation the condition of the coin. They will also know the amount minted and what it is going for in today's market.

Good luck!

I am not so sure what Wally Y is saying. First of all you don't send anything to a grading service until you know what it is and is it worth grading by them. To spend $25 to have a $5 coin graded does not sound to smart to me. Now just what liberty coins do you have? They have been made since 1793 from the U.S. mint and start with 1/2 cents and go through $20 gold coins. Yes there are others also. So to answer your question I need to know the denomination. The Liberty head nickel usually is called a liberty nickel for short. they were minted from 1883-1912 so that leaves out your 1880. Let me know the denomination and I would be only glad to help out here.

Answer 3

Hard to tell without seeing the coins. If I were in your shoes though, I would send them registered mail to PCGS (that is Pacific Coast Grading Service) and see what they can tell you. Or take a rubbing and send that to them. Or go to coinworld.com and ask them what you should do to get them appraised. Many choices out there. Some coins are worth quite a bit, some only a few hundred dollars. About ten years ago a young man from Arizona who had been researching an area of southern Arizona came home from the U.of Florida for break and his parents gave him a metal detector. He immediately went to the area he researched, found the owner of the land and asked him to sign an affadavit stating that anything this person found the owner would receive 60% and the finder 40%. The owner whose wife was a notary public changed that to the bearer of this note will receive 100% of what he/she finds and sent the boy on his way. A few days later the boy showed up at the owners' house to show him a small leather bag containing a turquoise bead, a feather and an old silver coin. The owner didn't know what it was but told the kid that he found the stuff it was his. The boy went back early to school just in time for F.U.N. which stands for Florida Universal Numismatic convention, the largest coin convention in America (at that time) after four days his coin sold for $14 million dollars. It seems he had found the oldest coin ever found on the North American continent. When the story hit the Phoenix Sun the owner of the property tried to sue. The kid sent the court a copy of the paper the owner had his wife, the notary public sign. Case was dismissed and the kid kept all of the money. So, depending on the coin(s) you could make a lot of money or a little bit. Have fun.
