Need to know what country it is from, and the condition.\nIn the United States, for example, there were 3 areas that made the 1913 penny.  In Canada, maybe 2 (not sure).  Also Great Britain.  \n\nIf it were a US coin, the BOOK Value would likely be anywhere between 65 cents and $33 (dollars)  depending upon \n1) where made in US  (Look for a small letter under date) \n2) condition\n\nBefore giving a value, MUST  know what country.\n\nIn Large libraries (Ususally MAIN  library)  they MAY  have a very thick directory, which has pictures of the common insignias on most major countries' coins, so  yuo could at least START  there.\n\nForeign coins are harder to sell, and ALL have a DEALER value of 1/3 to 1/10th (or less) the value stated in any coin directory.

Hi Underworld -- I'm afraid some of the previous answers may have caused some confusion about the coin(s) in question... So -- let me explain it like this:\n\nYour 1940 penny is likely worth .02 to .05 (cents) if in "pocket-change" condition.  If it is still in "shiny new" condition, perhaps $1 to $1.50.\n\n . . . ABOUT WHEAT PENNIES . . .   (per Coinfacts.com)\n\nMost Wheat cents are very common, and were produced by the millions and even billions. Currently, common date wheat cents carry a very small premium, in fact only a few cents to a few dollars each, depending on condition and year. Be on the lookout for the 1909-S, 1909-S V.D.B. (The designers initials that appear at the bottom of the reverse), 1914-D, and the 1922-D with no mintmark below the date. These four dates carry a nice premium if you have one. Wheat cents may be a good start to a youngster's collection.\n\nA complete list of Wheat Cents and their retail values is available in the Guidebook of US Coins by R.S. Yeoman. Currently you can purchase the Guidebook of US Coins for as little as $11 online (see link below)\n\n===========================\n\nThe reference to a 1943 penny with a "value of 200,000" is incorrect...  \n\n . . . ABOUT 1943 STEEL PENNIES . . .  (per Heritage site)\n\nIn 1943, the production of our One Cent coin went through a major change. War efforts that year required copper and its availability was limited. It was decided to change the content from copper to steel coated with zinc for the first run of the new 1943 cents. In 1944, the need for copper was reduced, and the production of the copper cent resumed.\n\nOver one billion 1943 steel cents were produced at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints, making this a very common coin. However, many people found the new "look" fascinating and saved, rather than spend, the new steel cent. Today, their value ranges from about 5 cents up to about 35 cents in circulated condition. Uncirculated specimens (showing no trace of wear or handling) can bring up to about $10 in high grades.\n\n===========================\n\n . . . ABOUT 1943 COPPER PENNIES . . .\n\nRare errors on bronze planchets are known - BUT beware of counterfeits (bronze will not be attracted to a magnet). IF you happen to locate a BRONZE colored 1943 penny - take it to a coin dealer THAT YOU CAN TRUST for their opinion.  \nGenuine cents of this type can sometimes fetch $40,000.00+.\n\nWhy the confusion?\n\nMany national and area television stations recently reported about a $500,000 cent. They mistakenly advised people that the steel cent was very valuable. What they should have said was that THE 1943 COPPER CENT IS THE RARE VERSION.\nWhat happened was an extremely limited number of 1943 cents were inadvertently struck on copper planchets, left in the machinery from the previous year. Very few escaped the mint unnoticed, and these are considered very desirable to collectors. \n\nAuction histories indicate the value range to be from around $5,000 to $70,000 depending on the mint and condition... not the half million-dollar figure quoted. Copper-plated zinc forgeries abound. The primary test is to use a magnet. The common steel & zinc pieces (and the copper-plated fakes) will stick to the magnet. The rare copper issues will not.\n\n[I also found this info about this coins' value:  A 1943-S Copper Cent (graded NGC MS-61 Brown) sold for $115,000 in Ira and Larry Goldberg's "Dr. Jon Kardatzke" sale, February 6-8, 2000, Lot 257 (ex - Superior's "Dr. Charles Ruby" sale, 1974 - Steve Benson, sold privately for $49,500.00 - Superior, June 2-3, 1997, "ANACS AU-58"]\n\n===========================\n\nSuch is the world of collecting coins....good luck to you.\n~mishel

What it's worth and what you'll get for it can vary greatly. To a collector, it might be worth the previously mention $10, but an enthusiast of that era might give you $20. (And then again, you might only get offered $2...)\n\nYou might eBay it to see where it goes.

Check the following site.  Value depends on condition and mintmark for that date.  Anywhere from $10 to over a thousand dollars.

Has it got a blue tint?  If it does, and it was printed before 1935, on or abouts it could be a silver certificate.\n\nThat meant it has value in sterling silver.  Sorry I do not know more than that.\n\nContact the mint.  The website comes on T.V. all the time.\n\nIt would be interesting to find out\n\nNow, make sure that it is the U.S. mint.  Not somebody calling themselves a mint, you find that alot.

You'll have to get it authenticated.  If it is, it's worth several thousand and up depending on the condition.  Look on E-bay for completed items similar to this, that would indicate a base price.

List it on Ebay for a penny and see if anyone bids - that's what it's worth....whatever the market is willing to pay.\n\nBest wishes,\n\npup

At the very least, they are worth there bullion value, that is, whatever silver is selling for today. If on the other hand, they are in excellent condition, they could be worth significantly more. Take them to a coin dealer and find out. It won't cost you anything.

Depending on condition of the coins, the penny could be worth up to $8 and the nickel up to $2! Sorry!

It is still only worth $1.00 unless the price of silver is up or u find someone who is looking for that coin to finish or add to a collection.\n\nI save old coins 2 and have some dated before 1900 and took to a coin dealer/pawn shop to see what they were worth and they are pretty much worth the amount printed on the coin. That goes for rare paper dollars as well.

look it up on coin price guide....but don't get all excited...even if almost uncirculated it wont be worth a lot...but ...keep it...to some collector you might get 50 cents or a dollar....when i was younger they were worth about a nickel each - but 1942 is not that rare...you  would get more if it were a s mint mark ...1942-S ...as there weren't as many of those...see price guide URL below

Any legal tender coin or bill is worth its face value in commerce. There are many examples of the mony being worth more on the collector or metals markets. A 1922 penny is only worth a penny at the store, but if it has no mint mark, collectors will be falling over each other with fists full of $$ to claim it. The same is true on a smaller scale with the new quarters and nickles, as many collectors will pay a premium over face value for the right one or ones. On the metals market the valuation of the coin(s) reflects the price of its metal at the time. A silver dime is worth its weight in silver on the market, yet may be more valuable to collectors due to date and condition. It definately pays to do a bit of research if you have an old or unusual piece of currency as you just may have hit the proverbial "jackpot".

If it's creased, it might be worth a little more than $1 but not all that much though. Crisp and new, it's worth more. Does it have "In God we Trust" on the back?  Doesn't change the value, but it's interesting.  Look on Ebay and see what they're going for.

A 1936 quarter is made of pure silver, so it is at least worth its weight in silver.  It realistically is worth about $1.50

I'm guessing you found some commemorative coins or something similar.  Depending on how much it cost and what each coin weighs if they are all pure silver they would be at least worth their weight at current silver prices.  But as far as collectible value on them I would say $0 since probably every Ace in the country is selling them.\n\nThe silver price is pretty high compared to a year ago and going up steadily so if you can get an accurite weight on them (in oz) and its below current scrap prices you could buy and just sell them as scrap for a profit.  \n\nhttp://goldinfo.net/metals.html (contains current silver prices)

Well if you know how old they are they maybe worth more then what you pay for them. My advice is you need to look it up on some web site find the name of the company or who made it and look up some back ground on it you never know might be realy old!
