Sorry, I only go to beaches that require clothing.

I'll take overcomplicated words for simple things for $1000 Alex....

Smart a**…

Clever. Very clever.

I'm in the same boat as you. We've inherited about a 40lb tote full of coins. I've got American coins that I didn't even know existed...two cent, half cent, and three cent. If you find a great resource I'd love to know.

I have a source that I’ll likely use. However, I’d like to approach this person (he is a long time coin dealer in town) with at least a modicum if knowledge about what I gave.

Your coins sound interesting. I don’t recall any I have that are as unique as those listed.

I have all the coins scanned. I’ll try to isolate a few and post them up.

You just did that to make Curt and me google it, you pedant.

((wink, wink))

Whatever you do,

DON’T CLEAN YOUR. COINS!

The WILL lose value if you do.

Great advice. I’m given to throwing my coins in the “small items” basket to clean them upon occasion.

Yep, same dang boat. Got at least 500 coins that need to be waded thru ................someday!

I inherited a pretty good coin collection this past year. I can tell you, it's a rabbit hole to go down when finding value. TICTOK has some very good videos on alot of coins. Just type in the search bar what your looking for.
but things like
Year
Mint mark, no mint mark
What the coin is made of
Double stamp
Any type of errors
And more come into play as far as value.
Write down things as you go, so you can look back to refresh yourself on what to look for.

As far as your junk silver, the easiest way to spot which ones are face value is to stack them / put them in a roll & look at the outside edges to spot those that have a dark ring...your silver coins will be just that.

Separate the dark edged from the all silver edged for a starting point.

1893-1895 Morgan’s can be $$$$. Also check for “CC”
Carson City mint marks on your Morgans.

I’m in the same boat. Got silver and don’t know what it’s worth

[E.TX.BOWHUNTER]

Everyone with old coins needs to catalog them in a spread sheet. Otherwise you are going to get 2-3 cents for wheats, and melt on silver. I have seen boxes of silver dumped into coin counters and customers paid melt. The dealer will search those coins when he is not busy. I know of a bulk buy of buffalo nickels that produced a 1918 over 7 nickel. That nickel was bought for a couple of dollars but today is worth over $2,000.00. (can you say new bow and rifle?) I don’t blame the dealer as he is not going to search your unknown coins in order to buy them. He is happy to take that chance. He loses nothing by buying at melt. That is on you. I hate this happening to people but you have to put the work into knowing exactly what you have and yes it takes some time. Spend it wisely!

Thanks. I’ll try to search him out.
