Question
Hi. I have a 1945 dime. It has a lady on the front with a bird or wing on the side of her head. It says LIBERTY around the top. On the back has brancehes and a long thing or somthing.  How much is it worth?  I also have a 1945 siver penny in mint condition. What is the $$$ on it?
And lastly i have a copper 1937 penny.  How much is it worth?
                   Thanks!


Answer
Hi Bill,
the dime is worth about 70 cents.  The 1945 penny is probably a 1943 steel cent.  Steel was used instead of copper in 1943 due to WW II.  They are worth about 10 cents.

The 1937 penny unless it is in new condition is only worth about 5 cents.
