jakep Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I used to collect coins a while back but I was too young to really understand much about coin collecting. So I was digging threw my old coins and I found a 1894 US nickel. What is the value for something like this? Not that I am interested in getting rid of it, just curious.

rsraghead Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 we all make mistakes. E-bay would give you an idea of its value if you check there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I don't that there were any key dates for that year, so it would just be bullion value as the coin is quite heavily worn - probably used for many decades into the 1960s or maybe even the 1970s.

HarveyJMartha Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 The silver Barber Quarter has 90% silver and remaining 10% is copper. The coin weighs 6.25 grams. Place the silver spot price in this equation and you have the melt value of the coin This coin is a part of the Barber coinage, named after the coin designer Charles E. Barber, which consisted of dime, quarter, and half dollar. For more interesting facts, read this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Probably worth more to a collector than melt would yield. Has approx $3.50 worth of silver. Of course if sold for melt it would be weighed to determine value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D'Ippolito Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 It's worn enough I doubt it still weighs 6.25 grams; it might not even be over 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
