Question
My deceased husband had a bunch of coins in bags and one was a 1853 3 cent piece with no mint mark. It appears in very good shape. Could you tell me the approx. worth.
Thank you. Kathy Hagar
Hi Kathy,
First off, I am sorry for your loss.
Depending upon the condition, the coin can have a value of between $15 and $15. However, if it it in mint condition, that value could be a few hundred dollars. The coin would have to be inspected by a professional. Whatever you do, do not clean the coin as this will ruin it's value.
