Can you imagine getting paid with all silver dollars.? My uncle worked in the oil fields in Texas in the 1930’s. He said every Friday the got paid we heavy silver dollars ..
Sorting things like coins is so calming to me! I wish I could have sorted this haul for you! Ahhh! I'd make a spreadsheet listing how many of each type of coin there is... You or your wife should adopt me as a sister so I can join the family business. 🤣
That's the awesome thing about humans, there's always someone ready for a challenge. I dislike repetition but as a potential engineering problem the task is inspiring. Though there's no doubt many commercial coin sorting machines already, getting to design and build automation for this task could rewarding especially since for limited use it doesn't have to be robust on industrial scale like a bank might have and you could get away with fun hacks. Mechanical automation is a bit out of my wheelhouse but there's plenty of software and electrical things that could be used here. It could be a pipeline from feeding mechanism leading to a scale mounted on a tipping hinge, a servo-controlled diverter that would lead to series of PVC pipes, one for each type of coin. And if the weight tolerances aren't enough to discern between coins of equal weight there could be a camera and opencv program to pick up differences on average color value or size. Feeding mechanism could be a slowly moving belt with a mechanism to keep coins from being on top of each other, it could lead to a tipping trough that pauses the belt and feeds individual coins to the scale (converging to a slot might let more than one coin through at a time even if springloaded). Scale would be connected to arduino or similar that controls the diverter and hinge motor.
@@shokid I have OCD (manageable OCD... I don't use gallons of bleach everyday and stuff like that.) so putting things in order is calming for me. I'd sort those coins for you if I could!
@@SamuliTuomola_stt I love the idea of learning to build a machine like that, and in my mind I can see ideas that I think would work... But i'm definitely not an engineer so I'd get too frustrated by build 3 or 4 not working. Plus... I just really like sorting the coins myself. I hate those CoinStar machines though. I see so many people get ripped off by them!
I'd love those war pennies. I have roughly 700 in my collection, and they can be hard to find. A neat piece of history. There was a shortage of copper to make FMJ bullets, so they used steel. They actually had people volunteer to donate their copper to the U.S. military.
In the mid 90s the C&H sugar factory, in Hawaii, cleared out their old bank vault and deposited all their rolled coins to the local bank. My work at the time ordered a bunch of change for the tils and received a lot of those rolls. Every one from WWII. I bought nearly all the pennies left (some employees beat me to most of it) from them. About $5 in steel pennies rolled and uncirculated. A couple rolls of nickles, dimes, and quarters.
I think you do a great job with all you do in all your videos. It's your job and your life, and your money. So it's nobody else's business how you do your own business. If you don't like how he's doing things, STOP WATCHING HIM!! Unsubscribe! Don't complain! Your not doing it. It doesn't affect you. This is for entertainment. If you choose to purchase something from him, it's as is. If it weren't for him, the stuff wouldn't be found, and show for all to see. Alex keep doing what your doing. It's your life and we only get one!! Blessings Always!!
To the Owner of the Suitcase: Remember, those people that called you an "idiot" or said "FAKE", they are just jealous, miserable people. Sore losers, that never found anything like that. So please don't let them bother you. I wouldn't even answer them. They don;t deserve your time. Enjoy! And lots of Good Fortune with your endeavors.
Envy. I used to go through water bottles with pennies in them trying to fill my folding collector books as a kid. Watching you brings back fond memories of hoping for a treasure. You sir are in no short supply of treasure. I wouldn't want to have to try and support my family with the proceeds but what a fine hobby you have there.
Wow what a find! I can't believe the people selling this did not go through it, and pick out the valuable pieces. I probably would have kept the entire suitcase because I love coins. LOL I love your videos, keep up the good work!
I'd love to find a "Treasure chest" like that!! I was born in 1969 & I go through my change & if it's older than I am, I keep it. I've have gotten Silver dollars (some in the 1800's) I even found a couple Carson City Silver dollars. a 1900 Mercury dime, lots of wheatback pennies, even a 1943 steel penny. I love going through my change at the end of each day. You'd be surprised at how valuable coins are circulated by people who just don't take the time to see what they have & spend it at face value.
Freaking awesome find! Thanks that was fun. Can't believe that sat for two days and nobody snatched it up. Good for you for having the eye and the brains to buy it.
Watching you dump those coins onto each other and sliding them on their faces across each other made my blood pressure soar! lol GENTLY! Love the channel, BTW, and also YIKES lol
That is so incredible. A small fortune. I wouldnt have been able to contain my excitement like you did. Just to touch some of those coins. Wow. Thanks for sharing. Eric
I can't believe that sat for two days. People are so afraid to take a chance. I would have snapped that up in a heartbeat! Great find man! Now I need to wipe the drool off of my keyboard....I don't mind saying I'm envious and still very happy for you and your treasure! Thanks for sharing, I had a blast watching.
Ya thatd not a chance. Just looking at it u know damn well that there's more than 300 in reg coins. He prob made more than that just with the silver weight
Be careful. When I was a little girl, I had a 1955 penny and it was stamped twice. Kinda made you feel cross eyed too look at it. I used it to buy a rocket pop. I can't tell you how much that penny was worth.
my dad had a triple stamped lincoln penny, and a three legged buffalo nickel. he set them on the edge of a loose floor trim against the wall, and they fell into the crack. house is still there, with someone else living in it, with the coins still in that crack probably.
Food for thought one Penny. $5.000.000 . 00 , there is this metal detecting guy called JD something loves it he would be a big help right here he is the go too guy for info About silver ,money! For that fact any kind of currency..I’m sorry my grandma she called it Rootin around, looking for something ok! Like I said good stuff buddy thank you for the show ...have a good night.🌙
Trish Randazzo it’s JD’s variety channel he does metal detecting. JB coins definitely, has replete knowledge of coins. In my opinion, I would say, JB coins is the go to guy. I watch them both.
I’m a small time collector, I’ve been collecting Silver for thirty years, And I will say you have some very Valuable Coins there, That is one Great Score, One thing, Please don’t melt those silver coins down, you will loose all the Value, I buy silver, and I get people trying to sell 10oz hand poured bars, I don’t buy them, there hard to Verify the amount of Silver in them
I agree 100% Klint.. Sometimes I wonder if these guys even realize someone collected all that for a reason. Even the uncirculated coins probably had a lot more value than just rolled coins!
Representing Edmonton! My home town. What an awesome collection to find. That said, I'mma haunt my family if after I die, my family decides to sell my stack at a garage sale!
Thank you for the vid. A fan from Britain. I love your respect for the things bought and for the people you interact with. You feel like you are in your perfect lane of life. Great career. Great family. A lot to be happy about.
Fyi. American quarters, half dollars and, dollars and dimes, just look on the edge, if it is all silver color, it is silver. There are many years where there were cupronickel and also either 40% or 90% silver made for collectors, so, just going by year, you might miss some, but quarters, dimes halves and dollars 1964 and before 90% silver always. Half dollars for 1965-1969 40% silver. And nickels with the large mint mark over the building are also 30% silver If memory serves.
So mamy people in coin communities Im in find coin hauls like these at tagsalea...Ive found thousands of dollars in jewelry for next to nothing but am dying to find a suitcase like this. The only thing that worried me is the rolled coins. Im an error coin collector So all I was thinking both for the regular and silver finds was "what if there is a million dollar coin sitting there and theu dont realise it." Lol I once bought a coin collection of Canadian coins since Im in the us and love your countries currencies. One of the coins I found it it I sold for over $600 for a minor error and I only paid $25ish USD and it ended up like $47 in canadian coinage face value
I live in Florida and one day found an old cash register, 1899?, in the trash. It turned out to be from Canada. I pulled the drawer out and found some old bills wedged in the back and some coins stuck between the base and sides. I managed to get them out and was telling my step daughter that coins from Canada were made of steel and if we were magnet fishing they would be easier to find than with a metal detector. So to show her I held a magnet over them and it only picked up half of them. By accident I learned Canada minted silver coins until 1968. I ended up with five dimes and two quarters.
My father thought that they would eventually discontinue pennies. So he started saving them. When he died I took to the bank 20 3lb coffee cans that were full of rolled pennies. Yea, it was over 500.00 in pennies!! It was crazy!!
My older sister is convinced that pennies will be phased out, too... she has been for years. I think that her thinking on the process is that banks will pay more for them (or other collectors?) when they are discontinued. She has quite a collection of bags of pennies in her basement, after she weeds through them for wheats, they go in the bag.
Finding all that cahange is awesome....I wish I had that luck. Be aware of a 1922 tin dime I believe the marker is an e....I hear they are extremely rare and valuable
Funny story. I was getting ready to move and sorted my thousands of pennies into pre-1982 (copper) and after 1982. I had about 5 pounds of copper pennies, and some others. Then my granddaughter came over to pack books and thought she would be helpful and put them all back together. The shield pennies are worthless. The Lincoln pennies are collectable.
Another way to check quarters esp if they are American when are looking on the edge silver will be all one shade in quarters and half’s if they are two colors they are not all silver.
WoW!!!! As a coin collector I had no idea people sold brief cases with coins??? Cool video man!!! you certainly teached me something today!! I'm going to go and hunt for some.
Curiosity Incorporated no thank you. It was like looking in my past. Funny thing is I lost many thing to an X wife who I'm sure had no idea of what was in front of her. Within and my stuff the was a stamp that was worth $120000 30 years ago.
I have recently found these videos but I’m finding it hilarious that people are telling a man who sells antiques as his living, how to do his job. If you watch the video, you can see how thorough he was. Not to mention how people asked what he paid for the suitcase when it’s in the title. 🙄
Put the wah he handles these coins is miserable and no I’m not hating I’m just trying to help him when your dealing with colectible coins you should wear gloves and not bang them on with normal coins
As someone who handles numismatics all the time I have to completely agree with @TamerOfTheCats. The way he handles these coins in the video shows that he doesn't know what he is doing when it comes to handling potentially valuable coins. He is just costing himself money through mishandling them and anyone who collects coins will agree.
OMG!! What a find!!! I’m not jealous at all and I will tell you why I am jealous! 🤣. I am on the south shore of Lake Superior..I collect and save all the Canadians I find.👍
@@Robstrap Actually no... Say you have a 1909 S VDB In MS-68 RB in there. Scratching it around would decrease its value by thousands. So just because they are old it does not matter one bit.
Boy am I jealous lol, I love old coins. Even the way they sound when you jingle a handful of them is almost musical compared to the cupro nickel of modern coins. About the magnet test for silver - I work at a pawn shop and saw a colleague checking a coin with a very strong rare earth magnet, and it appeared to stick so the deal was off. It wasn't until later that I remembered an odd quality of silver when near a strong magnet - if you move the magnet quickly it seems to attract silver, but it won't attract if you move it slowly. I think it only does this with rare earth magnets though.
I worked at a grocery store last year and found a couple Canadian coins, silver dimes, and American wheat pennies. I would always trade them for my own when I would find them.
Agreed if they are put in there with all those ones that are definitely worth money then there must have been some type of value to them to the person that put them in there
1922 peace dollars-uncirculated coins-silver dollars and half dollars- no...not jealous at all nope not me no sir. Lol killer..killer video bud thanks for sharing
I believe if that was me,having the yard sale; I would not set something out that was without looking in it. Even more so when it’s so heavy and surely they could hear the coins moving around, and not want to know what it was? That’s just crazy! But their lose is your gain! Love your videos,keep them coming.
OK, a gal has to know, was the nugget real gold and was the necklace diamonds. My guess is no on the neckless, but who knows on the nugget. I also had a great surprise on an estate sale auction. They had a safe they were having trouble getting the combination for and the auction had already started. They finally got it open, went it quickly, through together lots having no clue what had value and what didn't. None of us had been able to preview what came from the safe, when a lot came up with a cameo bid $25 and got it. Here's what was in that lot; (1) very expensive cameo brooch , (2) Italian mosaic brooche, (1) ladies Bulova white gold, black rope wrist watch with 1 quarter carat diamond on either side of the watch face. Of course the big finds were the watch and cameo. I gave the cameo to my closet friend after her father passed and she was told it was quite valuable. I. Can believe it as it was truly beautiful and extremely well made. As alive the watch, I love very old, feminine, dainty jewelry, so I fell in love with it immediately. It's a wind up watch and wasn't running and the rope had been cut, so off to my jeweler I went. I told him the story of the auction, that I loved the watch, but wouldn't fix it unless it was worth it. He just stood there and laughed at me. He said the watch was very nice quality and probably only need cleaning and of course a new rope band. Then he said, but the two quarter carats on the watch most definitely made it worth it. What did I do, argue with him that they were only crystals as I only paid $25 for the whole lot. Well, he one that arguement and I got the deal of the century, a beautiful give for a life long friend some beautiful watch for me. Oh, the Italian brooches were a nice throw in. Lol. Congrats on your coin adventure and profit...
That's quite an amazing haul - and obviously well worth the effort to deal with it. You've got a heck of a lot more patience than I do, though, to research so much!
You want to mine out the copper and not give it to the bank! Copper is not magnetic so it's easy to find and can be 3x the value. Great show keep digging.
OMG, I had some of those books as a child. Some of them belonged to my dad, and some my grandmother bought me at yard sales and flea markets. I miss those books so much. My dad inherited her house and the roof started leaking badly and he couldn’t afford to fix it, and so much of my old stuff is ruined with mold/mildew now. :(
A good lesson for us all. We don't live forever, so at some point the collection is going to change hands. Maybe a good rule of thumb is that by 75 years old, the collection should be sold. Make cash investments that your heirs won't sell at a garage sale.
AMAAAAAZING, that you got all of that for $300 (Canadian?) and rolled almost $430, and that's before checking all of the silver, pure profit and great find.👍
If I am not mistaken, the 1943 steel pennies go for around $300k each. If he had checked all of the pennies carefully, he might have come across some 1943 copper pennies, which, if I am not mistaken, can sell for around $1.7m each.
It's interesting that American stores will give out Canadian coins as change but if you try to spend them the stores won't take them. Therefore we get stuck with Canadian coins we can't use. I've accumulated quite a few over the years.
This is like a cliffhanger. Was fully vested to the end, but no final numbers $$. Savage.
I can't believe that somebody would just sell that at a garage sale! What a great find!
It was an estate sale, not a garage sale. Big difference! At least that is what he called it at the beginning.
I would have swooned, lol. 😂
Its fake come on!
Obviously no one with any sense that runs an estate business would sell a trunk full of silver got 350. They would have had a appraiser look at it. He paid more than that.
They probably didn’t probably BS.
Can you imagine getting paid with all silver dollars.? My uncle worked in the oil fields in Texas in the 1930’s. He said every Friday the got paid we heavy silver dollars ..
Really incredible haul. These are the buys that make it all worth it

Im a great sorter too, if you ever need any help, let me know!
I have a few boxes of coins from my dads collection, it’s too much work to sort. I wish I had your patience.
That's the awesome thing about humans, there's always someone ready for a challenge. I dislike repetition but as a potential engineering problem the task is inspiring. Though there's no doubt many commercial coin sorting machines already, getting to design and build automation for this task could rewarding especially since for limited use it doesn't have to be robust on industrial scale like a bank might have and you could get away with fun hacks.
Mechanical automation is a bit out of my wheelhouse but there's plenty of software and electrical things that could be used here.
It could be a pipeline from feeding mechanism leading to a scale mounted on a tipping hinge, a servo-controlled diverter that would lead to series of PVC pipes, one for each type of coin. And if the weight tolerances aren't enough to discern between coins of equal weight there could be a camera and opencv program to pick up differences on average color value or size.
Feeding mechanism could be a slowly moving belt with a mechanism to keep coins from being on top of each other, it could lead to a tipping trough that pauses the belt and feeds individual coins to the scale (converging to a slot might let more than one coin through at a time even if springloaded). Scale would be connected to arduino or similar that controls the diverter and hinge motor.

They have been phased out here in Canada, Australia did it years ago.
I think the previous owner had them all separated and you just mix them all up. You got way over $300 worth
Finding all that cahange is awesome....I wish I had that luck. Be aware of a 1922 tin dime I believe the marker is an e....I hear they are extremely rare and valuable
Please do updates! Dont leave us hanging. Do episode numbers too.
My knees would have buckled had I found that, lol. Dang, you're lucky. ♥️😂
Just a great episode Thanks
Nice little chunk of change. When I was a kid I thought the Indian head/Buffalo back US Nickels were cool, but wartime steel pennies are even cooler.
I wish I had your luck! The steel pennies are worth quite a lot.
WifeofagrumpyoldMarine not necessarily, you can sometimes buy one for about 15 cents each
Funny story. I was getting ready to move and sorted my thousands of pennies into pre-1982 (copper) and after 1982. I had about 5 pounds of copper pennies, and some others. Then my granddaughter came over to pack books and thought she would be helpful and put them all back together. The shield pennies are worthless. The Lincoln pennies are collectable.
That would’ve been frustrating! But kind of her to want to help :)
Another way to check quarters esp if they are American when are looking on the edge silver will be all one shade in quarters and half’s if they are two colors they are not all silver.
WoW!!!! As a coin collector I had no idea people sold brief cases with coins??? Cool video man!!! you certainly teached me something today!! I'm going to go and hunt for some.
You got your money back plus some!
That was awesome.
Great family stuff. It's what memories are made from.
Thanks so much for watching :)
Curiosity Incorporated no thank you.
It was like looking in my past.
Funny thing is I lost many thing to an X wife who I'm sure had no idea of what was in front of her.
Within and my stuff the was a stamp that was worth $120000 30 years ago.
I have recently found these videos but I’m finding it hilarious that people are telling a man who sells antiques as his living, how to do his job. If you watch the video, you can see how thorough he was. Not to mention how people asked what he paid for the suitcase when it’s in the title. 🙄
Thanks Jill! Appreciate your comment :)
Put the wah he handles these coins is miserable and no I’m not hating I’m just trying to help him when your dealing with colectible coins you should wear gloves and not bang them on with normal coins
As someone who handles numismatics all the time I have to completely agree with @TamerOfTheCats. The way he handles these coins in the video shows that he doesn't know what he is doing when it comes to handling potentially valuable coins. He is just costing himself money through mishandling them and anyone who collects coins will agree.
@@TamerOfTheCats So I guess letting them rattle around loose on an old suitcase was more ideal conditions.
@Gregory Lee you dont have a clue what you're talking about,,you steam from criminals anyway
Such a wonderful show!!!

No wonder I've been finding rare high money coins when going to the bank for the rolls of change!
I would have loved to come across something like that. Lucky bastard. 😉
OMG!! What a find!!! I’m not jealous at all and I will tell you why I am jealous! 🤣. I am on the south shore of Lake Superior..I collect and save all the Canadians I find.👍
I was a really good find for us and I’m glad you enjoyed watching! Thanks Amy :)
Arcanum High and can I have money
Very nice finds! Oh and by the way Canadian silver are 80% silver and the older ones 92,5% 😇
It kills me to see you handle some of these like that oooof
They're vintage coins, they've had worse
@@Robstrap Actually no... Say you have a 1909 S VDB In MS-68 RB in there. Scratching it around would decrease its value by thousands. So just because they are old it does not matter one bit.
@@coinsearcher9635 ok coin searcher
It's the mascara he put on, it must've gotten in his eyes and he's was rough with the coins......
Its theres so they can handle them as they like mate.
Boy am I jealous lol, I love old coins. Even the way they sound when you jingle a handful of them is almost musical compared to the cupro nickel of modern coins. About the magnet test for silver - I work at a pawn shop and saw a colleague checking a coin with a very strong rare earth magnet, and it appeared to stick so the deal was off. It wasn't until later that I remembered an odd quality of silver when near a strong magnet - if you move the magnet quickly it seems to attract silver, but it won't attract if you move it slowly. I think it only does this with rare earth magnets though.
Fantastic haul, man! What a blast!
Thanks so much for watching!
You have a heart of gold myfriend you helped your friend hans & homeless people god will reward you greatly in heaven
I would keep all the silver coinage but thats cause i love silver coins
I worked at a grocery store last year and found a couple Canadian coins, silver dimes, and American wheat pennies. I would always trade them for my own when I would find them.
I would never let any of those coins near a bank
Agreed if they are put in there with all those ones that are definitely worth money then there must have been some type of value to them to the person that put them in there
I know some people that collect coins as a series and not as a future value.
1922 peace dollars-uncirculated coins-silver dollars and half dollars- no...not jealous at all nope not me no sir. Lol killer..killer video bud thanks for sharing
Thanks Tony! It was a good haul :)
I'd had dove on it 300.....looks to be about a 10x profit case. 3k. Yup
I believe if that was me,having the yard sale; I would not set something out that was without looking in it. Even more so when it’s so heavy and surely they could hear the coins moving around, and not want to know what it was? That’s just crazy! But their lose is your gain! Love your videos,keep them coming.
nice buy~ what was the estimated value of this haul? im guesstimating approx $1200 USD?
About $2k after repairs were done
A real bonus buy, you must have every version of the Queen's image on those coins from her coronation onwards. Thanks for sharing
+Ken Sherwood yes, you can see her age on the back of the coins!
The Canadian dimes and 25 cents (1920-1965) are 80% silver also 1919 Canada are 92.5 silver the us are 90% silver
Such a fabulous find !!
Wow !!!
OK, a gal has to know, was the nugget real gold and was the necklace diamonds. My guess is no on the neckless, but who knows on the nugget.
I also had a great surprise on an estate sale auction. They had a safe they were having trouble getting the combination for and the auction had already started. They finally got it open, went it quickly, through together lots having no clue what had value and what didn't. None of us had been able to preview what came from the safe, when a lot came up with a cameo bid $25 and got it. Here's what was in that lot; (1) very expensive cameo brooch , (2) Italian mosaic brooche, (1) ladies Bulova white gold, black rope wrist watch with 1 quarter carat diamond on either side of the watch face. Of course the big finds were the watch and cameo. I gave the cameo to my closet friend after her father passed and she was told it was quite valuable. I. Can believe it as it was truly beautiful and extremely well made. As alive the watch, I love very old, feminine, dainty jewelry, so I fell in love with it immediately. It's a wind up watch and wasn't running and the rope had been cut, so off to my jeweler I went. I told him the story of the auction, that I loved the watch, but wouldn't fix it unless it was worth it. He just stood there and laughed at me. He said the watch was very nice quality and probably only need cleaning and of course a new rope band. Then he said, but the two quarter carats on the watch most definitely made it worth it. What did I do, argue with him that they were only crystals as I only paid $25 for the whole lot. Well, he one that arguement and I got the deal of the century, a beautiful give for a life long friend some beautiful watch for me. Oh, the Italian brooches were a nice throw in. Lol. Congrats on your coin adventure and profit...
Necklace was costume gold was good
That's quite an amazing haul - and obviously well worth the effort to deal with it. You've got a heck of a lot more patience than I do, though, to research so much!
Yes! My kind of treasure chest
Thanks so much Rebecca!
Rebecca J Ray Same here! I wish! Lol
What a great find! Love watching your videos.
You want to mine out the copper and not give it to the bank! Copper is not magnetic so it's easy to find and can be 3x the value. Great show keep digging.
So smart on that Magnet...Kudos...and BTW the token that you said you never saw before is to a Adult Movie arcade.☺
You could have at least $5000 in silver and cash value ....NOT including the jewelry...
OMG, I had some of those books as a child. Some of them belonged to my dad, and some my grandmother bought me at yard sales and flea markets. I miss those books so much. My dad inherited her house and the roof started leaking badly and he couldn’t afford to fix it, and so much of my old stuff is ruined with mold/mildew now. :(
I wish that guys would sell these hordes before they die. If not, it just ends up selling as junk at a garage sale or pawn shop.
A good lesson for us all. We don't live forever, so at some point the collection is going to change hands. Maybe a good rule of thumb is that by 75 years old, the collection should be sold. Make cash investments that your heirs won't sell at a garage sale.
Can’t take it with you they say :) thanks for watching!
That would be a dream come true for me. I was amazed. Thank you very much.
Make sure you check some coin books as you may have some really valuable ones there!
What an awesome case you got . Plus so much fun sorting all of it.
Thanks Teresa!
Some of the pennies like 1982 s are valuable...
Noooo ,I LIVE IN TASMANIA ..Would love to buy all that..Great video..
9 silver dollars dated before the 1920s are worth a good amount of money.
Linda Taylor yeah but these are priced down now because of how they were kept
Jorden Walter bare minimum they’re $30 a piece
1922? WAS THAT A $90,000 PEACE DOLLAR YOU THREW IN THAT BOWL? RARE COINS?
True but most are in regular to good grades.Most of these can be bought for 18 USD at a silver shop.
@@dontherealamericantrainer9317 WHAT? Where on the video did you see that?
AMAAAAAZING, that you got all of that for $300 (Canadian?) and rolled almost $430, and that's before checking all of the silver, pure profit and great find.👍
It was a really great find! :) thanks For watching Steve!
The one dollar coin that is 1922 is worth $50.00!
If I am not mistaken, the 1943 steel pennies go for around $300k each. If he had checked all of the pennies carefully, he might have come across some 1943 copper pennies, which, if I am not mistaken, can sell for around $1.7m each.
I love to collect coins because I love them so much.
Dude please take care of the coins don’t damage them- all coin collectors are watching this!!
How come this never happens to me....
It's interesting that American stores will give out Canadian coins as change but if you try to spend them the stores won't take them. Therefore we get stuck with Canadian coins we can't use. I've accumulated quite a few over the years.
Hope he didn't take all those pennies to the bank. Some pennies are worth thousands
I did take them to the
Bank but after I searched them
Matthew Moore, I like to collect wheat pennies, don't know that they're worth more, I just like them
I believe they stopped making Canadian pennies. What a sweet score @curiosity Incorporated!!
I thought you couldn't take pennies in any more? They're not legal tender anymore, or am I wrong about that?
There is one pennie that is worth a 250000$ there are only 12 of them in the world but still there where a lot of pennies
You’re making me want to start going to yard sales and estate sales. Lol.
