Coin Collecting

Why aren't you checking your pocket change, /biz? Many common coins you can find are worth 10x face value, and rare ones can be worth millions. Not a bad way to build your silver stack either.

Brief guide for American coins:
Pennies: pre-1982 are worth at least 2 cents in copper melt
Quarters and dimes: pre-1965 are 90% silver, worth about 10x face
Nickels: 1942-1945 are 35% silver
Half dollars: pre-1965 are 90% silver, pre-1971 are 40% silver

i do op

>tfw I’ve literally never gotten a silver coin in any of my change

Got about $140-200 in change. Worth going through it and if so, do I just sell it to a person who deals in silver?

You will get more money from other coin collectors if it is rare. Silver bugs will only pay melt value for the rarest of coins

Buy a metal detector, user. You can door knock at old houses and ask if you can search their yard, this is the best way to find silver in my opinion

at least in america, banks have gotten so much better at separating the coins actually worth something from just the average coin so its becoming tougher and tougher to find a coin worth anything more than face value

It is worth going through $100k of pennies. For example, the 1982 D copper small date penny can be worth $20k in good condition

first post best post and I'll add to the pennies that ones 1958 and before are wheat cents and worth at least 4 cents in collector value since they're mostly pulled from circulation now. I still find a few of them while coin roll hunting $25 penny boxes though

They cant distinguish error coins and varieties though. Silver, yes, which is why metal detecting is your best bet to find silver. People do still find silver in circulation, but you would have to buy hundreds of dollars of coin rolls at a time for it to be worthwhile

which coin should I buy in bulk for the best chance at a profit?

Who the fuck would let some random NEET search their yard for treasure with a metal detector??

Probably half dollars. This denomination has the best chance of finding silver in coin rolls, but banks can be picky and may not want to order them. Also, do not dump undesirable coins back at the same bank, they will cut you off very quickly.

About 50% of the people you ask. Almost everyone will let you metal detect, but as soon as you mention digging they reconsider. But about half of them dont care if you dig, as long as you cover the holes. People didnt trust banks back in the day, so they would bury all of their money in jars and die and it would be forgotten. It is not uncommon to find these caches

I'd love for that to happen in europe,i used to work with thousands of coins every day,(automated selling machines)it would have been like a side job just by doing my day job,it could have got my own silver stack for free
Sad.

JD is the best at what he does. I think hes found over $10k in coins or something like that

Europe is one of the best places on earth to metal detect. A very historically rich area

>look through my jar of coins
>tons of pennies pre-1982
>no quarters, dimes, or nickels with the right dates with silver

>me and wagecuck buddy inspect them after she leaves
>they look and feel funny, not like normal half dollars
>get on work computer, learn about silver content in older coins
>we change them for cash money and split them between us
>at that time the 1964s are like $10 to $12 each

I always wondered where on earth would this thot have even gotten them. Raided her dad's coin collection maybe? All to see some dumbshit movie too, lol.

as a leaf i might get lucky and find some old stock that the boomers haven't pillaged yet. are there any good leaf coins you know off the top of your head?

Hell yeah, probably 10k in face value of coins but actual value of some his finds are way more. Been watching his channel for a year and he's super informative plus a genuine dude.

Back in early 80s my dad had an old Tanqueray tin filled with pre-65 quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars.

I fed them all into Pac-Man and pinball machines.

think about it this way, those coins probably ended up in coin rolls at banks and made some coin roll hunters really happy

I actually kept a cool £1 because it seemed rare, some coin from the 2012 Olympics. I checked the price last year and it was worth £10 so yeah, not a bad decision at all. I'm gonna keep it because £10 isn't a lot and I like collecting coins

Pre-1967 canadian quarters are 80% silver

Look up "valuable pennies(or nickels, dimes etc.) You can find lists of errors, key dates and varieties that can be worth a lot of money. Your change is worth more than just the silver or copper if you have a rare coin

This is how silvers get back into circulation. Drug fiends or unknowing burger junkies trade them in for their fix and help out collectors like us. Unfortunately in the 60s most people began hoarding all of their change once they realized silver melt was worth more than face on their coinage

You're doing gods work user

Pass it down to your grandchildren, will be worth a lot more in the future

I found a 1930 Denver in a roll I bought from the gas station the other day

I'll remember this next time I'm rolling up my change

I'll keep that in mind, ty!

nice find, the wheats with mint marks are usually worth more especially the earlier wheaties with S mint mark

>Nickels: 1942-1945 are 35% silver
war nickles have a big mint mark, S, P, or D over Monticello

during my wage cucking i've figured my odds here, central cali, are over 1:10,000 for finding silver quarters in change

just found a 1939 s the other day. ive only found 2 steel pennies though ever

Is it twue the large coin separators the banks use automatically sort out the silver coins?

Statistically, no.
Just look at the sides of the coins, if copper color then not silver.
Also, this but don't bother with nickles and pennies.

If anyone reading this has over $1000 worth of silver coins, JM Bullion buys them at a great price.

t. used to be in the industry

A lot of the pre 1965 silver has basically been pillaged from the currency supply. Even in like 2013 when I was still working as a cashier, actually finding any silver coins in the till was basically an effort not worth undertaking. I think of 2 years cashiering I had probably seen like 2 silver dimes and that's it

>Half dollars

Lmao has anyone even actually seen a half dollar in a normal transactional setting in the past like 20 years? I don't even think you should bother looking at the dates, if you see a half dollar it is such a novelty that most people would end up keeping it regardless of silver content

Yeah, most silver quarters have been removed from circulation. You have better luck finding silver roosevelt dimes, most people don't see the difference between a clad and a silver

I have no idea honestly

Errors and varieties are usually worth way more than silver

It would be worth it if you looked for key dates and varieties as well

Casinos still use them heavily. You can also order $500 boxes of them at the bank

>boomers
>even once

nice, ya steelies are really hard to find in circulation because even back in the 50s and 60s they were being taken out of circulation just for the novelty of them. The best way to find steelies or even some good key dates is to buy up old peoples collections however you can, ebay, in stores. If you can buy the bulk bags of pennies and search through them you have better odds of finding some really cool coins.

Only if automated somehow.
