Yes,

 The rarest Nickel in the World is the 1913 Liberty Nickel which sold for $3,737,500. in 2010.

Theres only 5 known see here http://www.coinlink.com/News/us-coins/olsen-hawn-1913-liberty-nickel-sells-for-3737500/.

Unfortunately they made hundreds of thousands of 1912 Liberty nickels so that year they are'nt worth much.

There are many branads and makers of tea sets and lamps.

These don't seem like anything rare or unusual to me but I'm sure they do have sentimetal value to you being your grandmothers.

I think the lamp is worth $30 or so and the tea set does'nt seem unusual either and I have seem them sell for about $40 for the set if they are'nt any famous or rare brand. If they are silver they shoudl obviuoly bring a little over it's spot price.


good luck!

Some great points. I think what can't be stressed enough is taking great images. This way you can email the pictures to antique dealers or experts who specialize in that area.

I have received some great replies thanks to providing good images in the past but most importantly bein corteous in the email ank making it sort helps as some dealers will send you to someone who can give you more information if they don't knoe the answer.
