How much is a dime worth with 198 as a date. there is no last number just 198 for a date that i am guessing was a misprint. so how much is it worth?

It isn't worth much. Most likely your coin was struck on a grease-filled die making the last digit appear non-existent. Such a coin, depending on condition might go for 15 cents to an error collector.


Why do coins have dates?

There are a couple of theories to why coins have dates. The first theory is due to the ego of the kings/emperors who enjoyed bragging that they spent X years on the throne and thus dated their coins in the X year of the king/emperor Y. The other theory is the debasement of coins could start in one year and allow government agents to know if a coin was debased based on the year. Debasement was an early means of inflating the currency by replacing precious metals in the coin with base metals. For example, a coin that used to contain 90% silver might be reduced to 75% silver allowing the government to strike 15% more coins to pay off debts because it would take the masses some time to realize that the coin was only worth 85% of the non-debased coin because the size of the coin and colour would be nearly unchanged.


When a coin is tossed why it appears head or tail?

Those are the names given to the two faces of a coin. From early days, coins had an image of important persons - kings, queens, emperors, on one face and that face was called heads. The reason for the other side being called "tails" is uncertain. These are the only two outcomes of a coin being tossed. Although there is a non-zero probability of the coin falling and remaining on its edge, it is small enough to be ignored in practice.

Is ANGS coin grading a reliable grading company?

I recently purchased an 1885-S Liberty $5 gold coin that had been graded MS-66 by ANGS. Another Numie and I examined the coin upon receipt. It obviously had been "whizzed" and when it was spun the word "LIBERTY" had almost been obliterated. The best way to tell an improperly cleaned, spun, or whizzed GOLD specimen is to weigh the coin. If the weight has been reduced by .001 gram or more, well.....that gold went somewhere and it wasn't lost by rubbing against someone's pocket while in circulation. PCGS, NGC, or even NNC would have returned the coin as non-gradable. People say "buy the coin, not the grader"......sorry guys, it doesn't work that way these days!

What is a 1909 wheat back penny worth?

Between a couple of dollars and several thousand dollars - it depends on: (1) the condition of the coin - better condition is worth more, (2) whether it has the initials "VDB" on the reverse of the coin, just above the rim, between the ends of the wheat stalks - VDB is worth more than non-VDB, and (3) whether it has an "S" mintmark below the date - "S" is worth more than no mintmark.

What is a miniature 1878 Carson City Silver Dollar worth?

Nothing most likely. It is not an official mint product, it has next to no collector demand, unless it is made out of silver it is worthless. If it is made out of silver it is worth the price of the silver in the coin. Since non-mint products have no set composition, I cannot tell you what it is made out of and how much silver (if any) is in the coin.
