I have a unique coin, I want to know if it's worth anything.?

Question

What would be and ideal web site to do this, or email me and I will send some photos of it to you.

Answer 1

Take it to a coin shop and have it appraised

Answer 2

Without seeing pictures it's very difficult for anyone to give you a good answer. Many factors play in to how much your coin is worth (i.e. condition, scarcity, mint marks, current market demand, etc.)

1 - Take your coin to a local coin dealer (trustworthy ones can be found - shop around, get second opinions). It never hurts to get a second opinion. 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.

2 - Try posting pictures on this website (there are many experts here that can help you evaluate it - there also may be people willing to buy if you are trying to sell):

3 - Repost this question and include pictures. You can use websites like http://www.photobucket.com and include the link in your question.

Good luck!

P.S. Do not clean your coin as this can drastically reduce the value.
