Question
i have one of those coins with all the different colors i was trying to see if it was worth anything is it

Answer
Hello Kristina,           

I need more information to answer you.

What date is the coin?
What state of preservation is the coin?
What type of coin is it?
Or what denomination is the piece? (Dime Cent Quarter etc.)
Is it a U.S.A. or Foreign coin?
Is it Gold, Silver or Copper/Bronze?

Values for coins are determined by grade and how rare a coin is.

With no or little experience you are better off letting a dealer or an advanced collector look at them.

Do you already have an idea of the value? (Did you purchase it?)
What do you mean “one of those coins with all the different colors“?

Is this coin toned, colorized or plated?

If it is an Altered Coin the value is greatly diminished.

I do look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Thank You!
