1919-1929 silver dollars worth?
If these are US silver dollars, you need to check the dates again. There are no US silver dollars dated 1919, 1920, or 1929. The 1921 Morgan and 1922 Peace type dollars are the most common. The 1921 and 1928 without mint mark Peace type dollars are the scarcest dates. Even the most common silver dollars in uncirculated condition are worth $25 - $30 each. Here is a good reference book: http://www.amazon.com/2012-Guide-United-... Your local coin shop and your local public library probably both have this book available.
What is the value of an Abraham Lincoln gold 1 dollar coin? How rare are they?
Whenever your run across these “gold” coins with a President on the front and it has two dates. it’s a modern “Presidential” dollar. (HINT: The real date is on the edge of the coin.)Presidential $1 Coin ProgramThese coins are the same composition as the Sacajawea and Native American dollar coins. From the US Mint website:The coins’ physical makeup is a three-layer clad construction - pure copper sandwiched between and metallurgically bonded to outer layers of manganese brass. Manganese brass composition:77% copper12% zinc7% manganese4% nickelGolden Dollar's overall composition:88.5% copper6% zinc3.5% manganese2% nickelThe Presidential $1 coin series started with George Washington in 2007. Four different designs were issued per year, until they got to Reagan. Since no living President can be on a circulating US coin, Carter was skipped. All the presidents after Reagan are still alive, so the series ended with him.NOTE:Since this question gets asked a lot, I am going to put the entire list in this post, and hope that someone searches Quora in the future before asking about it.Presidential $1 Coins2007George Washington (1789-1797)John Adams (1797-1801)Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)James Madison (1809-1817)2008James Monroe (1817-1825)John Quincy Adams (1825-1829)Andrew Jackson (1829-1837)Martin Van Buren (1837-1841)2009William Henry Harrison (1841)John Tyler (1841-1845)James K.

What caused the hyperinflation in Germany in the 1920's?
The hyper-inflation of '23 occurred when Germany couldn't pay its instalment of war reparations to France for WWI and defaulted. In response the French army occupied the Ruhr area, the industrial heartland of Germany.This didn't improve the situation in any way of course, because the German government was in an even worse position than before. In response they just relinquished all control of the money supply and since everyone knew their position, public confidence in the Reichsmark fell through the floor.The French eventually withdrew their army, since its maintenance in the field was costing more than they could squeeze out of Germany. Subsequently, Germany and France started talks in order to reschedule the war debts.I suppose you could say that the hyper-inflation was a more or less deliberate act of sabotage by the German government, born out of impotence and desperation.It all goes to show the truth of the statement that if you owe someone a thousand dollars, you have a problem. But if you owe him a billion dollars HE has a problem.
Old coins--history/value?
The first item is not a coin but a medal. It could have been made by any private mint and sold in a set of presidents or it could have been a give-a-way item maybe from an oil company's gas stations. There are lots around and most are worth a dollar or so if made of copper or bronze. There are no catalogs on that type item so you may never know who made it. Item 2 is a penny from Great Britain with a mintage of 121,560,000 it is far from scarce. It can be found in a coin dealers world coin box for around .25 cents or so. As for the reverse the person holding the trident is Britannia who means as much to the British as the Statue of Liberty means to us Americans. It has been a symbol since Roman times. Item 3 is a coin made in the USA for the Philippines during world war II. From the War with Spain in 1898 the U.S. received the Philippine islands and they were held until 1946 when they became a free independent republic. During that time coins were minted in the U.S. as well as the Manila mint. The coin should have a D mint mark for the Denver Mint. The coin is silver and worth .50 cents and up depending on grade. The coinage of world war II has a lot of history more than can be written here.
