Q: I have a five dollar bill from the mellon bank pittsburgh1928 . pleas contact me with information thank you walt. <warnerw@iopener.net>
Q: In 1974 there was a copper shortage and the mint made some trial coins in other metals (I think aluminum, coated-steel and zinc were tried). I understand some of the test coins that were minted accidently made their way into circulation. Anyone know the weight of the various trial coins by alloy type? And the amount of each test coin that was not accounted for (and assumed to have made circulation). I either have one of these coins or a hell of a good fake and need all the info I can get. kevin e-mail: <KSByrne@aol.com>
Q: My wife picked up a few Kennedy half dollars at the bank the other day, as she collects them. I was looking through them, and I noticed that the engraving of Kennedy's head seemed slightly different on the newer ones (1997 and 1999 were two I was looking at) as opposed to the older coins. I started looking at various sites on the Internet and found no mention of any changes in the engraving. It seems as if the hair shows more of a part in it, the face seems thinner, and the eyes are different. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks, Gary Landau <gmlandau@netins.net >

Q: I found 3 Treasury Notes dated 1862. They are all on brownish parchment paper. The first is a One Dollar "Arkansas Treasury Warrant". It is a two-sided document. The second is a $100 "Mississippi Treasury Note" - it is one-sided. The third is a $100 "Virginia Treasury Note" - also one sided. I found them in an old Hymn book and they are all in great shape, pressed flat and with a 1/4" or less brown discoloration around the edge. Any information as to the authenticity or value of these bills would be appreciated. Thank you. <torihel@akronhardware.com >

This other coin is 3 inches in diameter and commemorates "Henry Ford-Edsel Ford-Henry Ford II" On the reverse of the coin "50 years forward on the American Road 1903-1953" Are these coins of any value to anyone?

Q: My name is Frank. I am a Canadian who in 1980 I was living in the Great Lakes area. I was strolling along Lake Erie and found an old coin that was apparently washed in by the waves. It is a Bronze Coin. One side has a Native Indian with Bow & Arrow and the word "Common" to theleft and the word "Wealth" to the right. On the opposite side It has the Old American Eagle with the word "Massachesetts" around it. The year is 1788. The coin has a 1 & 1/16" inch diameter and a width slightly less than a standard penny. 12 years ago I was offered $ 700.00 U.S. for the coin, although I do not know it's actual value or signifigance. Maybe someone could help. <pianoaxeman@hotmail.com>

Q: about 7 or so years ago I aquired a coin on the ground and never really thought to much about it but never really could figure out what it was cause there seems to be no indication of money value on it but, on the head side there is george washingtons head and around that it says "george washington president of the united states" then the date is1789. on the back there are two hands shaking, one looks like there is a cuff to a jacket on the left side. above that there is an axe and a cane(or so it looks like) that are crossing one another. the at the top it says "peace" inbetween the cross and the hands it says "and" then below the hands it says "friendship". Do you have any idea what the coin is all about. if you don't know i could scan it to show you.<kmakenzie@ulster.net>

Q: Searched a number of web sites,
and nowhere did I find anyone offering any way to identify strange/unknown coins
or commeorative medallions. Naturally I am looking because I seek to identify one
-approximately 2" in diameter, presumably bronze, obverse shows head of Francis
Scott Key in a circle surrounded by flag draped over a sword. An olive branch or
wheat sheaf protrudes from a fold in the flag. The words "National Star Spangled
Banner Centenial Baltamore MAryland USA Sept 6-18, 1914" appear around the edge.
The reverse shows two men on the deck of a ship, one pointing into the air, with
the words "Tis The Star Spangled Banner" around the edge. This is the most
unique coin of several I recently acquired, another being a Masonic commerative of
Alfred Pike. There is no date, just "1800-1891" which I assume is the birth
and death date of Pike.
Can you point me to any info? Many Thanks, CW Ellis <alchemist@sosbbs.com>

Q: From: Alzin@aol.com Can anybody tell me - as exactly and comprehensively as possible - which US coins in normal circulation bore the San Francisco mint mark "S" in which years from 1968 up to now? - Thanks! Allan.
Note: I tried to e-mail you but the message got returned. The Webbie :-)
A: From 1968 and up all Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, & Halfs with the S mint mark
were only in Proof Sets. Now in the penny area 1968-1974, S cents were in circulation,
starting in 1975 the only way to get an S minted penny was in a proof set. I hope
this answers your question. Catch Ya !!! :-) webbie

From: Nick
& Kim Wade
My husband and I have several jars full of misc. change and were
considering turning them all in for cash. I have been slowing filtering thru as I
would hate to put something back into circulation that may be worth more than it's
stated value. Your site was very helpful.
"This is my favorite kind
of e-mail, I hope the site can help everyone who finds it."
Thank You All.
The Webbie :-)
