Hey!! So like idk how to message you other than leaving a comment on here. Which i hope u see. But ive got some coins and i have no clue what they would be worth. Was wondering if you'd like to take a gander through them first. I have quite a bit. If u can email me or something i can kind of explain more and send u pictures. My email is.. justinftz48@gmail.com
The fact that this thing is a cheap tourist trinket is fine but the chinese maker knew what he was doing when he left the silver mark on the coin. He could have just as easily left it off as he did with the 10 yuan mark. Or if he wanted to be reputable he could have put a zinc mark on it to replace the silver one.
If it had a denomination on it, it's a fake Chinese COIN, majorly illegal in China (little side note: under Chinese law counterfeits of Chinese coins are illegal, but only if they're counterfeits of Chinese coins minted 1949 or later). But without the denomination, it's just a souvenir novelty medal, and thus not illegal under Chinese law. The Chinese government doesn't care about the fake silver mark. Whether he put the false silver mark on to fool people into thinking it was silver, or just copied it as it was part of the original coin design, will leave for others to decide.
Oh, "excellence" is in the eye & experience of the beholder. Ive been collecting for almost 40 years and thought the "excellent" bag was far from it. Buyer beware and NEVER buy anything sight unseen.
Looks like a D to me. The coin shop I used to go to in my home town, whenever they got a big lot of wheat cents, they used to search and take any key or semi key dates out and anything from teens and twenties fine or better out, but regardless of decade put everything else into a bin and you could scoop out your own. They would weigh it, you pay and go home and have a grand old time searching through them. It was super fun when I was a kid. Best coin I ever found was a 1910-s in VG. which at the time was like a 10 dollar coin. It's worth like 22 now. Not bad for the 3 bucks I bought the scoop for. Also found a bunch of coins that were worth the price of the scoop or more. I still have that 10-s, but have since upgraded the one in my official collection to an MS 62 RB piece, but I hung on to the one I found as a kid.
Thanks! You need to be wary of all rolls claiming to be "unsearched" but these ones on Amazon have good reviews. Might be worth giving it a shot: amzn.to/2No5FlB amzn.to/2J0y258 amzn.to/2Ltk11g
Magnet slide test is definitely useful, but to me it's not a core test. The ping test is cool, but it's mostly a gimmick that should only be used in a pinch

No, Silver is Diamagnetic so if anything it will be slightly repelled by the magnet. Even silver jewelery is generally mixed with copper so if you have "silver" that's attracted by a magnet it's almost certainly fake.
I think what youre talking about is the slight resistance the coin has when being slid down a magnetic surface. That is definitely true, but it should never ever even remotely stick to the magnet
Some silver jewellery may be attracted if it's "sterling" silver. Sterling silver must legally contain 92.5% silver (hence the .925 stamp) but the remaining 7.5% alloy can contain metals such as zinc and copper, which react VERY slightly to magnets
I think you missed that 1920 had a mintmark too. Looked like a D. On the 1916, it is hard to say from the video. It mostly looks like a D, but as you shift it, you catch an S sometimes.
maybe S over D or a RMM? You should check all of your coins for doubling. i find them all the time. sell on ebay for up to a 500. depending on the coin year and condition.
@@jacobs_channel Thinking,..This wound looks alot like what I done when field stripping my Mak pistol the very first time, See I didn't do the reassembly bit right and figured I'd get tough and make the slide go back on with a "bop" Nope, It went alright but also took a 1/2 inch section of skin off my right pointer finger with it, It was hanging out the barrel and I didn't know what it was til all of a sudden came great pain and blood dripping on my lap :O.
I’m new to all of this, and I love your videos but the only problem I see as someone who doesn’t know anything about this or if I want to get into it is, yes the older coins are probably worth more but by how much or what is the price range. Personally I would like to know say the price difference between one from 1900 to 1912, or 1922-1935. I just wish there was a bit more information than it’s a good coin. Please don’t take this as criticism
Silverpicker yeah but in the end I still feel like a straight bullion coin is an ounce of silver is an ounce of silver I just buy for the weight and the store I get my silver from will buy and sell it no matter what it looks like. Idk good video though
If the coin is 2015 or newer and you saw "1 ounce", you'd know the coin was fugazi. The 10 Yuan coins stopped having the weight and fineness stamped on them with the 2015 striking.
There are so many fake panda's out there it has become dangerous to buy them. The huge number of fakes have drove down the value of my real pandas. The fur is always wrong, the stairs are always wrong. There are some good fakes out there. None of them are silver.
I suggest.. Just show the ads on ebay so you dont have to waste your money! Also there is a Bahama penny that is magnetic! but its not really worth much i think.
They cant. Its simple as that. Not even Amazon and Ebay together have enough cash to emloy experts in *ALL* the fields people fake shit. Think about it.
Some poor shmoe tried to sell it to the grab bag dealer and he was like this is fake buddy. So poor shmoe says throw it in the garbage mr dealer and leaves store. Then mr dealer says to himself, I’ll just throw it in one of my eBay grab bags! Poor shmoe #2 buys on eBay and the cycle continues...

How do get all of those wheat cents?
Thanks! I was really interested in the Panda coin! Great show!
It did pass the magnetism test!
True! It's a good test, but not foolproof!
Thanks for the update. These are always curiously enticing to buy.
My pleasure!
From what I have seen in your videos, grab bags = crap & profit for the dishonest seller and a loss for the buyer.
I would never buy one.
True
What do you think the cash value of the roll of pennies would be. 3 cents per?
It's usually 3-5 cents per coin
When using 18 k test I had a round turn the acid blood red. I lost the guide what metal turn it red?
You got some on your thumb
I think if it goes blood red then it is silver.
Archy Grey that’s what I thought, until he said green
Magnet slide test is the easiest test
Hay at my Christian school i went to i found a sitting liberty half dime i thought it was the coolest thing ever o was so excited
Where did you find it there?
Wow that's an amazing find!
Hey, just purchased your magnets. Can you recommend where to purchase unsearched wheat rolls?

Thanks Silverpicker! I better go through the rolls that I already searched as well lol
It actually says "Chinese Panda Zinc Alloy Commemorative Coin" on the label....
Showed my wife all she does is point and say yes
The great video that I ever since,good explanation,thank you for your info about the coins.
Glad you enjoyed it, Fredelito!
Trying to complete a wheaties album for my kids collection. Great finds
If you can get an "S" out of that 1916 cent, please don't drive.
That's hilarious lol
Why not the ping test or the magnet slide test? Just wondering, not hating. Thanks for the education.
William Baker the problem with the ping is if it’s authentic and in good condition you may damage it.
Magnet slide test is definitely useful, but to me it's not a core test. The ping test is cool, but it's mostly a gimmick that should only be used in a pinch
No hate but when you starting to speak the Chinese you turned your head like you were reading it on something else. 😂
Caught me! Had written out the Pinyin for zinc alloy. Had to look that one up 😬
@@Silverpicker Ahh, no worries man. I think it is cool that you can speak some Chinese tho, rn I'm learning Spanish and I'm decently good at it.

"Stay away from coins that have a magnetic pull" *drops steel cents in anger*
Hahaha
Whats a neodimeium?
silver is semi magnetic wont stick but you should see a small attraction

I found a silver panda at a pawn shop for 34 should I get it ?
It’s in ms70 ngc slab
Very cool man. Love those grab bag videos too
Thanks!!
I always do the magnet to the rolls I get from the bank. I have found a steelie in circulation by that method.
that's awesome!
What even is a wheat cent like what dose that mean
Reading Chinese: 中国熊猫锌合金纪念。。。
Me: good, good, not bad
Reading Chinese: 币!
ME: WHAT?
Liu Haochen explain?
Exactly my reaction
Very instructional! Thank you.
is a 1939 wheat cent worth anything?
Generally not worth anything, but if it is uncirculated, just like it fell from the mint press, then it might be worth a couple of dollars.
5:05 what if its an antique 50% silver coin?
I want to become a collector, but stuff like this scares me.
Did it not pass the magnetic test. Didn't look like it was sticking to your magnet.
It did pass the magnet test, but failed all the others
@@Silverpicker so what do you think it was made of?
I think you missed that 1920 had a mintmark too. Looked like a D. On the 1916, it is hard to say from the video. It mostly looks like a D, but as you shift it, you catch an S sometimes.
Thanks I'll go back and check!
The Chinese description said "Zinc".
maybe S over D or a RMM? You should check all of your coins for doubling. i find them all the time. sell on ebay for up to a 500. depending on the coin year and condition.
Sigma precious metals verifier is a very correct and easy way too test silver and gold but differently expensive
Slver coins also sound differently in comparison with a non-silver coin of the same type.
I never dislike a wheat penny. Sure the older ones are what you want but a wheat penny is a wheat penny!
A true purist!

I was hoping to see what happens to the panda coin with acid on it XD
Denver Mint for sure.
Durrrr! Its a kung fugazi-panda round! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
You can acid test bullion coins because their value is in their metal content not what they look like
I disagree because a lot of bullion coins carry a premium because people still like to collect them
Silverpicker yeah but in the end I still feel like a straight bullion coin is an ounce of silver is an ounce of silver I just buy for the weight and the store I get my silver from will buy and sell it no matter what it looks like. Idk good video though

The magnet trick is very true it is the one of the only ways to tell between 50% silver and pure nickel 1968 dimes (canada)
I thought that was for 1968 quarters
@@primalclashxd5968 yes you are correct on that as well there are 50% silver dimes and quarters that year
Thanks for the Panda coin info.B
as an advice, next time show some real silver reaction on the scrach stone for comparison, for impact :D
Very good call! Will do
Geeat info!
Just do the magnet gliding test, the best way to see if something is silver or not.
The only silver test i need is sound.
