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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
I love ur videos! Just found u today, and lucky for me i have been off work today, because i have been watching ever since! I wish I lived near u so I could visit your shop! Please keep posting! Thanks!
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.
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.
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.
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.

It's your life and we only get one!! Blessings Always!!
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
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.
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. :(
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.
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
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.
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 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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
It may sound bizarre but, the US doesn't recognize the Queen's money. We Yanks rarely come across Canadian coins in middle America. No doubt they do up north near the border tho'. Most Yanks don't know what a quid, or a Bob is. They couldn't tell you how much a pound, crown, or a farthing is worth either. We aren't stupid by any means, we've never been exposed to foreign currency is all.
It's called whip out the smart phone and use Google. not that hard. Some Americans haven't been exposed to foreign currency. Silver is silver and just doing a small bounce check will tell you just by the sound.
Are you really surprised?? I mean after what you lot did with perfectly good tea in Boston a few years back, God knows what you'ld do with real foreign money!
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...
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.
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.👍
Silver coins are slightly magnetic..meaning very little..so they slide a bit slower down a magnet slide...here in the us.. most newer non silver coins dont have magmatic properties ..most fakes fully stick to magnets
I have seen nuget neclaces like that and they were Yukon gold nugets. And considering the age of some of those coins and you are in Canada it quite possibke it Yukon gold from the big strike. Making it more valuable than scrap weight. Put some time into that piece.
Wait, what was I thinking... Its fake. No need to check it out. Send that fake to me. Lol. Its worth $5 so ill give you that for it. How does that sound? Haha
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
Wow, that would have been so fun to go through all those coins!
So true!
What else do u do with coins bruh. U buy em wait for a while and then sell them off duh
I know, right! As a beginner collector, I even find opening coin rolls that I get from the banks interesting!
I can’t tell if they’re being sarcastic or not 😭😂
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. 🤣
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.

Ugh me too. It was $800 when I looked it up many years ago.

You got your money back plus some!
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.
Score of a lifetime I would lose my mind!
OOh, such a treasure trove of coins and ( by now you know) the gentler you are the more money you will get for them. Cool!!
Yeah, I'm in the United States and I love getting all type of foreign coins, especially Canada coins. 😀
Thanks for watching Jordan!
That is awesome...even still is the Plymouth Cuda in your opening segment, id be real interested in that!
No wonder I've been finding rare high money coins when going to the bank for the rolls of change!
Blessing from Mary. I'm sure.....great Alex !!!!
I'd had dove on it 300.....looks to be about a 10x profit case. 3k. Yup
You're so lucky! I would love to have those coins, silver of all kinds and steel pennies too!
You gotta start posting your profit on this stuff, I swear you would get tons more subs
And a letter from the Canadian tax dept lol
@@fatashreviews5670 Yes, that's what I was going to say. The tax collector will be making contact in short order.
i realize your comment was over a year ago, but in the description box he did post that the profit was over 2000$ :)
@@amaiaamaiaa yea canadians dont evade taxes
US clad coins are non magnetic as well. Wheat pennies are worth a minimum of 5 cents each.
The Canadian dimes and 25 cents (1920-1965) are 80% silver also 1919 Canada are 92.5 silver the us are 90% silver
LOVED IT............. GREAT HULL!!!!
I would keep all the silver coinage but thats cause i love silver coins
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.
Fantastic haul, man! What a blast!
Thanks so much for watching!
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!
Make sure you check some coin books as you may have some really valuable ones there!
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.
Here in Australia we did away with our 1 and 2 cent pieces which then got reused as the Bronze medals for the Sydney Olympics
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
I'm new to this channel and I kinda love the channel. It's informative.
It may sound bizarre but, the US doesn't recognize the Queen's money. We Yanks rarely come across Canadian coins in middle America. No doubt they do up north near the border tho'. Most Yanks don't know what a quid, or a Bob is. They couldn't tell you how much a pound, crown, or a farthing is worth either. We aren't stupid by any means, we've never been exposed to foreign currency is all.
It's called whip out the smart phone and use Google. not that hard. Some Americans haven't been exposed to foreign currency. Silver is silver and just doing a small bounce check will tell you just by the sound.
we do see a few Canadian pennies,nickels and dimes. stores won't take them!
The oldest foreign coin I have is a 1951 penny
I see Canadian coins all the time in Ohio.
Are you really surprised?? I mean after what you lot did with perfectly good tea in Boston a few years back, God knows what you'ld do with real foreign money!
I would have loved to come across something like that. Lucky bastard. 😉
Yes! My kind of treasure chest
Thanks so much Rebecca!
Rebecca J Ray Same here! I wish! Lol
Gosh thats cool, im jealous. Bet that was really fun to go through. A day and half is a long time to go through coins, but still!
It was a big haul! :)
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
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.
Some of the pennies like 1982 s are valuable...
What a fun project !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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?
Noooo ,I LIVE IN TASMANIA ..Would love to buy all that..Great video..
nice buy~ what was the estimated value of this haul? im guesstimating approx $1200 USD?
About $2k after repairs were done
LOVE WATCHING! Nice JOB!
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.
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!
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!
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 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.
Great find!! Congratulations!
Thanks Michelle :)
How come this never happens to me....
Yes we feel exactly as you do picking Canadian coins out of our loose change south of the boarder.
I love to collect coins because I love them so much.
Nice silver test trick. Quick sorting with a tray
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
Thank you for including amount of profit in description.
You could have at least $5000 in silver and cash value ....NOT including the jewelry...
Silver coins are slightly magnetic..meaning very little..so they slide a bit slower down a magnet slide...here in the us.. most newer non silver coins dont have magmatic properties ..most fakes fully stick to magnets
The one dollar coin that is 1922 is worth $50.00!
I have seen nuget neclaces like that and they were Yukon gold nugets. And considering the age of some of those coins and you are in Canada it quite possibke it Yukon gold from the big strike. Making it more valuable than scrap weight. Put some time into that piece.
Wait, what was I thinking... Its fake. No need to check it out. Send that fake to me. Lol. Its worth $5 so ill give you that for it. How does that sound? Haha
