I have been holding onto this item for many years now and only been able to find one other like it on the web and its located in the Power House Museum in Australia.

1964 Beatles Movie Poster and Signatures

Category
Movie Stills/Posters
Condition
Excellent
Description

I think the poster itself is a print and I have no way of knowing anything about the signatures.  There is a stray mark around Lennon's signature.  Just want to know what it's worth.  It's priceless to me.  FYI: The pictures don't do it justice.  They are too dark.

2 southwest paintings

Category
Paintings
Condition
Good
Description

I looked at this art with a 10X loop and can see that it is paint on what appears to be artist felt paper on both pieces. I removed the art form the mat and frame because it was turning the back of the artwork acidy. The signature look a little different and are placed differently on the painting. One is dated and has a symbol with the signature. I would like to know who is the artist and is this art authentic? What is the value? Thank you for any info. regarding this art.

1893 Dime

Category
Coins and Currency
Condition
Poor
Description

The coin was about to be put into a drink machine when I talked the person into swapping it for a 'regular' dime.  I wasn't sure if it was worth anything (other than 10 cents), but I had to know.  Now, I have to know.  Thanks!
