So I just dug into my pocket, being inspired by this thread. Found a 2013 quarter. What's the skinny?

Do not ever try to clean a coin, you will ruin any numismatic value and turn it into metallic value only

Ike dollars are worth what you can get for them above face value, a dealer won't buy them. The bicentennial ones are the most common of all.

I like to use them for tips

Definitely not worth holding on to, same for 1971 and later half dollars and $2 bills, super common stuff with no collector interest...look at eBay, they're there or Craigslist, etc common wheatback cents are another item not worth holding, just sell them off for like 2 cents or whatever there hundreds of million of them around . Of course the small size dollar coins are also only worth face value

Common silver coins as in dimes quarters dated 1964 and earlier and halves from 1970 and before are simply a way to hold physical silver

Any opinions on silver or gold coins and jewelry as investments for the metal? I always see those "we buy gold jewelry" signs in malls etc. Someone said that silver is becoming more rare cause its used extensively in electronics such as cell phones.

One interesting specimen in my collection is an 1831 large cent that has a double strike.

it is mentioned in this book, which has been out of print since 1973

Please tell me oh Doug, guru of coin values, what the current value of this coin is.

Error coins are tough to value, but I have just the guy to tell you

www.fredweinberg.com

I'm sure he has the book and there's probably a photo in there.

Each error is different but I'm guessing several thousand dollars.

That's something you should off to PCGS for authentication and grading.

A quick at Fred's merchandise will show you how diverse and valuable these things can be. I've never seen a double struck large cent.

Very little demand, I assume you're talking about 1971 and later solid date rolls ?

A dealer wouldn't want them, you might be able to sell them on eBay or Craigslist, but shipping gets expensive

The mint stopped making them for circulation in 2001, in 2002 and forward they only made a few million a year sold to collectors at a premium, 1987 as well, if you have those rolls you might get something on eBay.

Forget about uncirculated rolls of state quarters, spend them. You don't often find half dollars in circulation, but lots of people stash them automatically, the coin was insanely popular in 1964 after Kennedy got whacked, they couldn't make enough of them at the time !
