Let me start by letting you know that I don’t know much about coins beyond spending them. I went through many of your pages of prayer appraisals and found them quite informative as well as hilarious. Your comments crack me up. With that being said, please go easy on me. I got these coins recently from a gentleman who owed me money. There are many more besides these ones but I didn’t want to overload you. My intent is to see if There is any value to compensate for what he owed me. Thank

I'm glad you took the time to look through, I wish more people would. I'm not a monster, if people are polite and don't act like experts and read my FAQs and don't submit a thousand coins I do what I can to help. You have a lot of "type" coins and approximate values for coins in the neighborhood of "good" are as follows: Common wheat cents usually have a book value of $0.50 to $1 but when selling it's get what you can, we only buy them at 1.5 to 2 times face value. Indian cents, we buy these for 10 to 25 cents and sell for a dollar. The earlier, thick planchet Indian cents sell for more like $3-5, and the Flying Eagle, $20. We purchase liberty nickels for 15-30 cents and sell for a dollar. That shield nickel is probably $15-20. 1890 Canada 5 cents should have about a dollar of silver in it, and that's about all it's worth. A shame about that 1832 dime, I'd ask $5-15 for this "problem" coin. Your silver dimes are worth around $2 each. Prices for all these things can vary a lot, and dealers mark them up a lot because they are common and a lot of work to sell individually. If you look at closed auctions on eBay you will see that, But these are reasonable averages.
