    I'm a prepper. I can't think of a better barter item than fractional copper, nickel, silver, and gold already in coin form and close to (or even below) spot.
    I stack nickels for nickel, copper pennies for copper, war nickels for silver, and goldbacks for gold. All fractional, all in perfect form for use as money barter transacting and trade.

      that's why I'm saving pennies and nickels. Small purchases and easily recognizable. Also in general real currency gets more valuble with time. I hope go through my coins with a grandkid or two and maybe find something cool. I've already got my #1 grandson metal detecting with me. He's 5 now and has more patience for it than me. We found a possible meteorite rock with his juniour detector. We found a real nice horseshoe with my detector! Fun stuff treasure hunting. I'm going to turn him and his brother into preppers too. In spite of his city dwelling Dad and Mom.

    My bank keeps the nickels in the vault. They have a few rolls only in each tellers drawer. If I ask for $20 worth, they need a manager approval and then an awkward wait while they go to the vault to get them.
    New rolls ea year seem to be worth more.

      That's sort of how my bank was the first time. Not asking the manager but the girl went in the back and came back about 10-15 minutes later. This last time I ask for a box of nickels and pennies and she came back with a box of nickels but had to order pennies. Easy peasy this time.

      Barnml, right, the $100 bills were easier to get. They don't ask any questions. But if you want $100 worth of nickels, good luck.
      I think the deal is that they will give you money that they think is common to spend. If they think that you want to save money, they will basically smile at you and think that it is cute. They made me sit in the lobby for about 15 minutes. And then another girl came out and asked if she could help me. And they forgot about me. It was a big thing they tried to ice me to get me to leave.

I bet back in 65 they did the same thing to people asking for silver coins. My new bank doesn't bat an eye and I don't care if they think I'm a crazy old hoarder man. Can't affoard other metals anymore. Too manipulated. As soon , copper and nickel will be.

      @@buck7477 I don't know which wheat penny you are asking about. The truth is I don't try to grade them other than recognizing that one is in very good shape or very poor. If I find a coin that may be worth $12,000 depending on the condition, I will send it to be professionally graded. My opinion would only matter if I could convince someone else of the same.

    I liked your idea of putting 154 pennies in a baggie as a pound of copper. Do you have ideas for nickels? Should I save ALL nickels? Or just certain date ranges plus silver of course?

    • @TwoshedsGabby
      @TwoshedsGabby  Год назад +1

      Certainly the silver, at the moment nickels are just barely over 5 cents each in value. I think if the price should start going up, you would have plenty of time to buy them up. Pennies being nearly 2.5 cents each in value, plus the newest one you can find is 1983, I would concentrate more on the U. S. cents personally. I only keep the nickels 1959 and older as you have probably seen in my videos. So, I'm hoarding, but I'm also collecting.

      Also, a minor correction for you. The 2009s in TOTAL were minted in the same amount as years prior and after. It is when you break it down into each design per mint that the numbers are "less than " the other mint years.
