Title: Any value in these Australian/American coins?
Post by: marcotheminer on March 11, 2019, 07:41:22 AM
I had collected a couple coins over the years. Looking to gauge interest/price and perhaps consider an offer too.
Maybe useless/maybe valuable, I have no idea - I would need to research them and I don't have the time currently.

From top left to top right:
1956 USD penny;
2 AUD coronation coin 2013;
Centenary of Canberra 20 cents AUD 2013;
AUD penny 1962;
1995 USD penny (seems like a different material/thickness than the 1956 one);
AUD 2 cents coin 1966;
AUD penny 1958.

Anyway, please post a reply if there's anything interesting or if you know some market prices (other than face value that is :P).

I don't see anything that particularly stands out. The coronation coin might be worth 10-15 USD or so, but that's pretty much it.

Australian pennies and 2 cent coins are virtually worthless if common dates (and fairly sure that 1962 and 1958 are common), bulk lots of 1kg pennies (around 100 pennies) cost around $20-25 to obtain. 1kg of 1 and 2 cent coins cost around $15, so pretty much around melt value. Unless someone can point out a variety that I haven't spotted, I think that it's best to just keep them in your possession as a souvenir.

I can't really comment on US coins since I'm not that familiar, but usual wheat cents (assuming that there are no key dates) are worth not that much more than face value either. Usually they are traded in bulk by bullion exchanges.

Tough luck :(

US coin collector here. Sorry no particular value there in US coinage, just a collectable keepsake. The older wheat penny is slightly more valuable than a penny. The one dated 1995 is literally something you would find in circulation.

Cool thanks for the replies, I figured I'd probably be best framing the cool ones and just keeping the rest as "good luck" more than anything else.

I have just about half a container full of those special AUD $2 coins in different variations ranging through the years they have been issued, didn't know they are worth more than 2 bucks though :D

Have you checked Ebay? It will give you a good price range per coin.
