Question
IS this coin worth anything? It has a f mint mark.

Answer
Hi Robert,
It really depends on the condition of your coin. Circulated coins are only worth a dollar or two, since this is a fairly common date and mint mark. However, they are very scarce in mint condition and values jump dramatically up to $100+ if you have a coin with no signs of wear and full original luster.
Thanks for the question! =)

Expertise

My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.

Experience

Collector of world coins since early childhood. Access to a variety of auction records and reference material. You can also find me on Facebook.
