I have a bunch of older US coins(and one canadian set) that I'm looking to sell. Does anyone know of any websites, books, or any other sources that give good descriptions of the value of coins? Here's a compressed list of what I'm trying to sell:

1981 to 1998 Proof/Prestige/Premier sets
1987 Royal Canadian Proof Set
Kennedy Half Dollars from 1964 to 1985
Silver Dollars 2000, 2001
Quarters 1976
Pennies 1863 to 1986

Any help would be appreciated.

To get an accurate value of the coins you wish to sell, you must know what grades, (for the pennies), they are. An 1863 penny can be worth $5 to $5000 depending on the grade. After that is done, you can check out books from the library, (you can check out the "Redbook" by Yeoman, it is the most important price guide), or simply go to a coin show and see what the asking prices are. If you do not want to go to this work, simply get bids from a few coin dealers as to what they will pay you for them. One caveat about price guides. They are never up to date completely, especially when it comes to bullion items, and they are retail prices, so expect for a dealer to offer you less.

Another good alternative is to sell them on Ebay. Yes, sometimes coins go too cheap, but most times they sell for what they are worth, and sometimes for more.

okay, i know i'm young, and it's unusual for young people to do this, but i have a coin collection. lol. and i might want to sell it, cuz i started collecting when i was about 8, and i thought it was cool to have all this strange money, but now i realize, that it's just sitting there, when there are people out there in the world that i'm sure would enjoy it. it's not a whole lot, but just tell me how much you think it's worth right now, like on ebay or something. lol.

it consists of all the state quarters except alaska and hawaii(as of right now), a book that goes with those, one honduran dollar bill from 2000, one US 2 dollar bill from 1976, two one-dollar coin things(bronze with the picture of a woman and a baby made in 2000) a 1952 wheat penny, two 1976 quaters(the ones with the drummer in the army of 1776, the 200th aneversary of hte country i suppose)one 1923 murcury head dime(poor condition :( ) one 1972 canadian penny, one 1973 US nickel,one "ocean veiw ! O! the joy!" nickel from 2005, one lewis and clark nickel from 2004, one louisiana purchase nickel from 2004, one mexican dollar coin.

Random collection i know, but that's because i've been just collecting anything un-usual in money form for a while. so how much is it all worth?

You have nothing with value except for the face value of the coins. None are old enough to have a collector's value yet. The statehood quarters are readily available and so many were struck it will take 50 years or more for just the circulation strikes to have a decent value. the 1923 dime would have more value than the silver in it if it was not in poor condition but that is only a few dollars. I am sorry but you will need to hold onto it for a good many years.

Should we treat them as such?

WASHINGTON - Money talks, but can it also follow your movements?

In a U.S. government warning high on the creepiness scale, the Defense Department cautioned its American contractors over what it described as a new espionage threat: Canadian coins with tiny radio frequency transmitters hidden inside.

The government said the mysterious coins were found planted on U.S. contractors with classified security clearances on at least three separate occasions between October 2005 and January 2006 as the contractors traveled through Canada.

Intelligence and technology experts said such transmitters, if they exist, could be used to surreptitiously track the movements of people carrying the spy coins.

The U.S. report doesn't suggest who might be tracking American defense contractors or why. It also doesn't describe how the Pentagon discovered the ruse, how the transmitters might function or even which Canadian currency contained them.

Further details were secret, according to the U.S. Defense Security Service, which issued the warning to the Pentagon's classified contractors. The government insists the incidents happened, and the risk was genuine.

"What's in the report is true," said Martha Deutscher, a spokeswoman for the security service. "This is indeed a sanitized version, which leaves a lot of questions."

Top suspects, according to outside experts: China, Russia or even France — all said to actively run espionage operations inside Canada with enough sophistication to produce such technology.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service said it knew nothing about the coins.

"This issue has just come to our attention," CSIS spokeswoman Barbara Campion said. "At this point, we don't know of any basis for these claims." She said Canada's intelligence service works closely with its U.S. counterparts and will seek more information if necessary.

Experts were astonished about the disclosure and the novel tracking technique, but they rejected suggestions Canada's government might be spying on American contractors. The intelligence services of the two countries are extraordinarily close and routinely share sensitive secrets.

"It would seem unthinkable," said David Harris, former chief of strategic planning for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. "I wouldn't expect to see any offensive operation against the Americans."

Harris said likely candidates include foreign spies who targeted Americans abroad or businesses engaged in corporate espionage. "There are certainly a lot of mysterious aspects to this," Harris said.

Experts said such tiny transmitters would almost certainly have limited range to communicate with sensors no more than a few feet away, such as ones hidden inside a doorway. The metal in the coins also could interfere with any signals emitted.

"I'm not aware of any (transmitter) that would fit inside a coin and broadcast for kilometers," said Katherine Albrecht, an activist who believes such technology carries serious privacy risks. "Whoever did this obviously has access to some pretty advanced technology."

Experts said hiding tracking technology inside coins is fraught with risks because the spy's target might inadvertently give away the coin or spend it buying coffee or a newspaper. They agreed, however, that a coin with a hidden tracking device might not arouse suspicion if it were discovered in a pocket or briefcase.

"It wouldn't seem to be the best place to put something like that; you'd want to put it in something that wouldn't be left behind or spent," said Jeff Richelson, a researcher and author of books about the CIA and its gadgets. "It doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense."

Canada's largest coins include its $2 "Toonie," which is more than 1-inch across and thick enough to hide a tiny transmitter. The CIA has acknowledged its own spies have used hollow, U.S. silver-dollar coins to hide messages and film.

The government's 29-page report was filled with other espionage warnings. It described unrelated hacker attacks, eavesdropping with miniature pen recorders and the case of a female foreign spy who seduced her American boyfriend to steal his computer passwords.

In another case, a film processing company called the FBI after it developed pictures for a contractor that contained classified images of U.S. satellites and their blueprints. The photo was taken from an adjoining office window.

heeheee Way To Go Canada!!!

For all you 'Mericans... FYI: we have a LOT of spies in your country. It is well known that Pamela Anderson is our top agent. While all the american men are looking at her breasts, she's gathering information.

Mike Myers is another secret agent, as is Howie Mandel (and he comes with his own entourage of beautiful women with suitcases!).

We are inflitrating your country with beautiful people and bad comedy. Your beloved Saturday Night Live? Canadian. The Arm on the Space Shuttle? Canadian. Basketball? Canadian. Most of the best musicians and actors in the states are actually.... yup, you guessed it, Canadian.

It's our big plan: silently and secretly infiltrated the USA with agents cloaked as celebreties, give them special coins with tracking devices to distribute into the general population. Once the Americans are sufficiently engaged in the Middle East, we'll make our surprise attack.

Before you know it, you will all be forced to say "Eh", drink "Double Doubles" and wear "Toques".

Haven't you noticed how we've managed to get our national sport into the weirdest places? C'mon.... hockey in Florida, Texas and Arizona? Those teams are all part of our big plan to slowly and silently Canadianize the States!
