      Nobody seems to understand the real value IS newly minted rolls. I've been selling coins for a bit and good money is to be made
      1. Rolls can be sold individually for 2-3X face leaving profit margins around $3-6 per roll giving you $150 in profit minimum.
      2. A highly recommend option is to OPEN the rolls and look for mint errors, you can find hundreds of repeating errors, progression errors,or multi stages. Trust me when I say you could literally be the person to discover a coin that writes coin history*
      *Rare coins are rare but I do I've a recent example 2021 Cent K7-K3 sold as high as $900 and seller had found 30-40. Do the math ;)

  • @SilverSeeker
    @SilverSeeker  Год назад +47

    Thanks for watching everyone! This comment will answer the majority of questions / comments being left here... hope it help!
    1) I am looking for circulated half dollars, and no I don't need to go to smaller banks and/or order smaller amounts. For years I was getting 10 boxes a week for live streams and they were always all circulated. I also use a number of different banks for picking them up as well as dumping them so I try and minimize getting the same coins all the time.
    2) Yes... there are still Silver half dollars out there. We aren't looking for ones that have been there for years, those are long gone. Most Silver half dollars ended up in circulation recently when someone that doesn't know any better takes a bunch of change they had laying around, or were left when a loved one passed to a bank and deposits them. Of course we'd love to let them know not to do that, but it happens.
    3) This isn't an exact exchange dollar for dollar... because of the large amount of half dollars I used to get, the banks did start imposing fees. Local banks don't get to order coins for free. Generally the coins they order are written off as a business expense and is just considered part of doing business. But when accounting sees a massive increase in coin ordering, they start asking questions, and the fees happen.
    4) While I USED to search for half dollars to make money, I actually don't do that anymore. Whenever I do a CRH live stream, they are 100% free fun streams and the finds are given away to people in the chat during the live stream. Hopefully I start getting circulated halves again so we can get back to that, so don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!
    YOU ROCK!

    What did you think? Halves aren't really staying in circulation, so the banks aren't getting many old ones. The stores don't want halves or dollar coins because there's no where in the register drawer for them. I would expect a large order to be all new ones. It would be cheaper for the bank to make that happen. A coin "expert" should know.

      If your president and his crew have their way, there will be no more cash or coin in the very near future. They want to switch over to digital currency only, which will mean your money, your spending, and your income will be tracked and anything the govt decides you owe can be directly withdrawn. It'll also be tied to your credit rating, loans, child support, etc.and will be controlled by the government, making it possible to implement things like social credit systems like they have in China...meaning the government can cut off your access to credit, certain types of purchases, limit ability to travel, control discretionary spending, or limit it until obligations are paid, and deny your ability to purchase a home or car, etc. And they can control your access to your own money and what you spend it on based on behavior and political leanings, participating in unpopular speech or protests, etc.

    They need to make sure people don't have any money that has any actual value that cannot let us have anything that's worth anything gotta make sure that monopoly money is as good and worthless as possible. They started pulling all the silver coins out of circulation some time ago. I've got a roll of silver dollars my grandmother gave me for Christmas about 30 years ago. And to be honest the only reason I've had it this long is because it was a gift from her so it has sentimental value but if it wasn't a gift from my late grandmother I probably would have just bought the dumbest stuff like McDonald's with it. I'm sooo glad I never messed with any of my silver dolls she gave me. If I would've known how weird stuff was gonna get moving forward I probably would have been stacking up on them.

    Yeah coin search is over. I've moved on from coin hunting with all coins from banks. Just not worth taking time for it. RUclips channels doing coin roll searching have ruined the hobby. My daughter in law works at a bank and they have stopped all getting coins unless you have a business account and even if you have a business account they limit what coinage you can get. Oh well Seeker glad you have moved on from searching coins.

      There WAS a coin shortage, and that didn't really apply to half dollars since businesses don't really use them. That said, the Mint did start producing Half Dollars for circulation again in 2021... the first time since 2002. So you're partially right yes.
