you can fix a price and put in on auction
Maybe by a coin collector.
If you didn’t know, cleaning your coins damage and reduce their value.
Here is a good website to start off with:
http://www.collect1.coinsandstamps.com/uscoins/Large%20Cents/1826%20to%201845/large_cents_1826-1845.htm
go to barnes and noble and look through the coin books. we have tons in the antiques/ collectibles section.
You need to contact a Coin Dealer where you live; there are too many variables you don’t mention that would need answering before giving a definitive answer.
The 1843 Braided hair large cent is valued at $17.50 in grade good which is details on liberty’s head visible even wear on date and legends. In grade fine-all hair lines visible hair cords visible $21 and in extra fine-both hair cords and hair lines are sharp$38. There are 2 1908 cents, one has a mint mark on the reverse t the bottom to the right of the bow. If the S is there then it is from the San Francisco mint and is the first cent to be made at a branch mint. The 1908 is a common date and is worth $1.25 to $2.25 in circulated grades. The S however is worth $46-$65 in regular circulated grades. The above values are about what a dealer would pay.
