Dads Stuff Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have a couple of coins that grade less than G and I am not sure how to value them (price them for sale). Are there grades below G? The first one is a SLQ with no date. Because it is less than G, does it automatically have a value of the silver content? The second is a shield nickel, V1. As you can see, there is almost no detail on the reverse and the obverse is better in that you can see the date. Because of its condition, is it now worth 0 to 5c? Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin43160 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 i dont know about the second one but the first one since theres no date it does go by its metal content!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryka Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 The SLQ would sell for melt, about 8-9x face, the shield nickel since it has a date should be worth at least a dollar or two. The photo is blurry, what is the date? 1866? If so, check for a repunched date, that could make it worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I agree with jtryka. Dateless SLQ's normally bring melt value around here, maybe a tad more depending on remaining detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Although heavily cleaned and worn, that 5 cent piece would make a great addition to a YN collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads Stuff Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Although heavily cleaned and worn, that 5 cent piece would make a great addition to a YN collection. Burks, what a great thought! I'll see if I can't find one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 On a place like ebay they would probably sell. Myself, I'd give them to a kid in hopes of starting a new coin collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 if the nickel was in my shop i would sell it for around a buck or so... and the others are right on the SLQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
