Question
Hi, I have a few coins that I would like to know what they are worth, but I am having trouble finding a place in Southern Maine that appraises coins, Do you know of any?  
The coins are as follows:
1.  Swiss 1944 piece marked with the number 20 encircled by a wreath
2.  1903 Indian Head Penny
3.  A buffalo Head nickel from 1924
4.  A 1928 dime

Answer

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
