If you want to learn more, please head over. Here's a direct link to the post with all the details:

Good luck!

Welcome to r/coins, reddit's biggest coin community! This is a guide for participating here and how to ask a question. If this is your first time here, please read this post in its entirety. If you have been here a while, note that the rules of this sub have changed.
What r/coins is all about:
Discussions about the small, flat, usually metal,
and often round objects made to be used as money.
What r/coins is not about:
Being uncivil, trolling, trash posts, spam,
buying/selling, and self-promotion.
See the full list of rules at the bottom of this post, and on the sidebar.
Example posts titles which will no longer be approved:
CHECK THE r/coins RESOURCES FIRST: This post, the General FAQ, the FAQ on Cleaning Coins, the FAQ on Organizing and Storing Coins, the FAQ on Detecting Fakes, the Frequent Coin List and the What's Up With My Coin List are all great resources to get started before you contribute here.
We get hundreds of posts a day. In order to set some expectations, please read through our resources, and the examples of good posts and bad posts (below). We (the MOD team) want to be as inclusive as possible - but in order to keep the feed free of repetitive questions (which we've answered in the FAQ), we take a strict approach to removing low-effort posts. This includes most questions about modern circulating US and Euro coins. To avoid having your question removed, use this checklist BEFORE posting:
*** Special note about posting links (Rule 5) - we cannot tell if an external link (e.g. eBay listing, YouTube video) belongs to you, or if clicks benefit you. It is the policy of the mod team to remove nearly all posts with external links. Some exceptions are: reputable news sources, search results (e.g. eBay search is fine), historical auction prices, Numista, TPGs, etc. If you post a link, please ensure that there is no ambiguity around whether or not it is commercial or self-promotion. Failure to do so may result in a removed post. If you are in doubt, ask the mods first! ***
ONLY AFTER you have checked these resources may you post your question. You'll get the best responses if your question is specific, and there are clear pics of your coin (front and back). Blurry pictures will probably be removed. If you are specifically looking for coin identification, it also helps to also include weight and diameter, as well as how you got the coin. Mention that you have already checked the FAQ!!!
You must also select a post flair - this is the general category for your post, and helps users filter and find posts they are interested in. Please consider selecting a flair when you post - but note that the mods may change the flair if we feel there is a better choice for your post.
Here is a summary of the Rules of r/coins - check the sidebar (or "About" in the mobile app) for more details:
Thank you! We are glad you're here. These guidelines are to make participating in this sub as enjoyable as possible for everyone. Please reach out to the mods if you have any questions or suggestions.

I got these two quarters from the store , as change. The one on the right is noticeably more shiny and detailed. Is this a proof? Does this make it more valuable?

Found a Shield Nickle with an unreadable date in change. Can't believe it. What are the odds. I've never even found a Buffalo in change.

Picked these up at a yard sale. I paid 40$ total. The one on the right is a S mint.

I looked through the posting in FAQ and didn’t see any of these in it. I know nothing about coin collecting, but I know she’s held on to these for decades. It would make her day if anyone could provide info on any of these. Planning to keep the coins in the family nonetheless. Thank you for any help! I apologize if photos are bad quality or this post goes against ant community rules.

Could anyone verify that this is a replica or a legit shipwreck coin? Thank you!!

NGC AU55 - I’m collecting George III crowns and this is my 4th of the 5 regnal years.

I walked by while someone was clearing their house out and they let me take a few things. Found these in a ziploc bag. I know nothing about coins and don't care about value, but I guess today's the day I have a collection of my own. This was just to show them off, but if there's something important I need to know I'll hear it out.

Found these in my dad’s safe after he passed. I guess I could spend a while on eBay sold listings to see if any are worth more than a nickel, but then I would put them on here for a professional opinion anyway. Just hoping one is worth at least 6 cents. 😁 I stacked them so you can match front to back.
Mom just sent me a pic of this saying look what I found in the parking lot! Outside of checking the weight to see if it’s plated, how would one go about verifying if something like this is legitimate?

Sorting thru my collection and found these:
1918, 1940, 1943-D Steel?
Am I rich now, ha? Is that indeed steel? Any recommendations on cleaning it?
