This is a GREAT coin-geek video, I enjoyed every minute of it! I remember when I was a kid in grade school when this quarter came out. I also remember the painting of all the fire hydrants with patriotic red-white & blue artwork to strut your patriot stuff. Ahhh, those were the days.
I have a steel cent with a big blotch on the back, the middle 60% is faint not sure if it’s a lamination error or struck through grease on the die but it’s interesting. I want to get it graded but I want to have enough coins to grade that it’s worth the effort.
I found a bicentennial that has a very shiny coating that appears almost gold. It has several spots of tarnish on the coating. Any idea why it’s so shiny?
So I've never been able to find or find out any information about a Bicentennial quarter i had when i was 7 back in 1996, the drummer boy was missing his left drum stick. Does anyone know about that one or is it a one of a kind i spent on a bag of hot fries?
99.9% are thieves they say don't clean your coins I sold a rare quarter to a dealer for 80 dollars, I know for a fact he used a Dremel with a soft cloth bit cleaned it like new and asked 8500 for it, ya they don't want us to clean them SO THEY CAN AND MAKE BIG MONEY. WHENS THE LAST time you ever went to a coin shop and saw a rough Condition coin for sale well u won't cause they are lying scumbags they want the opportunity of cleaning them and getting all the glory. I know this because I found out exactly how they do it and sent one that I cleaned to pcgs for grading and they sent it. Back to me with an ms66+ grade I cleaned the coin that was worth a little more than face value cleaned it properly came back an ms66+ worth $$725 these coin dealers make car dealers look like saints lol, just a bit of info that all people to know.
I've had a couple doubles, which I was told they were not. The best ones were where nobody I asked could tell me what the 1940's half's missing AF looked like. Engravers had to add them cause the die was worn. I "had" 4 or 5. Then I had a 41 Filipino dime with the die crack, but was told it wasn't. Then I had two 1941 us dimes and the words "in God we trust" were wavy, like so ~~ and this is my favorite answer of all. Post mint damage. It seems to me that in most circles a little guy can't have a coin. Only the big guys can find errors and such.
Ok i made no money on what I had because I'm poor white trash and am seen and treated as such. I had a few "dealers" tell me that I had nothing. I am financially unable to get anything graded and I am limited on what sort of equipment I have and need. All I have is a Moto g 5g. Nothing more. And the only reason I have that is because the guy at the store lied and said the one I really wanted was unavailable. So then help convinced me to get a Moto g 5g stylus. And guess what, that's not what I got. Boost is a disaster. They lie trick you and get you to take something that's isn't what you agreed on. I should have stayed with ST. Putting that aside back to the coins. I need a cheap but good digital usb microscope that I can connect to my phone. I have no other devices, no comp, laptops 😔😔 tablet or otherwise.
I've been collecting bicentennials since the early 90's and have enough to completely fill an old, 3 lb Yuban coffee can. I estimate that I have over 1500 quarters as well as over a hundred half-dollars. Also about 20 dollar coins. Never figured they'd ever be worth more than face value, so now I'm gonna have to go through them all.
@@MrsMingo I was looking through some bicentennial silver proof sets I have. I looked at 1 set, the quarter was double die with a mint mark S in uncirculated condition.$$$?
I've been checking my change with a change scope for years, every coin. Searched probably hundreds of bicentennials, and over the years I've found two that have an error I can't find any info on.
I don't understand what makes that mint state 68 bi-centennial quarter pictured above and to be worth 6 thousand so special. The coin looks dull and scratchy, I come across quite a few in my register change, all of which look so much better. What am I missing here. I feel ignorant at this point. Lol
Oh my...........it's a 1906 indian head penny, just like you described. Except it's NOT an indian on the face of the coin. If you do a LITTLE research, all your answers ARE available.
Several million silver bicentennial quarters were melted down in the 80's due to a silver shortage. There would have been a lot more out there. Thanks QC!
I’m new to coins, this video is very informative but still not sure what I have. My eyes are terrible. Where do newbies go to see what may be worth getting graded? Any advice welcome! Ty
Hi Connie, I know how it is. At 55, my eyes aren't what they used to be. You can do fine with an inexpensive magnifying glass. People have different reasons for getting coins graded. Personally, I would only get something graded if I needed to authenticate an error or variety, or if I had a top pop coin I wanted to preserve. You can check out www.pcgs.com and Daniel has some good videos on grading www.youtube.com/@CoinHELPu
It's hard to tell without seeing a picture. There are some message boards and FB groups that allow you to post pictures and ask questions. A lot of times it's just post mint damage. Good luck!
@barrygoodson4952 it wasn't. But unless the D mint mark was damaged from mint, pretty sure it was a clad s. Since then I have found two proof bicentennials
I live in the Portland Oregon area and while talking about rare coins with a store clerk , he told me that some kids raided their grandparents coin collection,using them to buy candy and chips, over a period of several weeks before they got caught by the grandparents. He seen that the coins looked New, and being that he knew a little something about rare coins, he swapped out a few with his pocket change. Had them looked at and found that they were from the late 1960's thru early 1970's. He sold them and got a few hundred dollars.
If you have a computer you can get a cheap camera/microscope that hooks up via USB. Even cheap ones work great. You will be able to see the coin full screen size in perfect crisp detail. I am a machinist and use such cameras to see tiny detail of things I am machining.
I work at a carwash and you would not believe how much change and bills I find in the trash! Last year not counting quarters and bills and not just dollar bills I had $2,000 with the quarters and bills it probably would’ve got to 24. $2500. Not including the silver dimes and nickels that I kept plus all the gold chains and rings,
I've been noticing a lot of people putting information on here about our coins or American currency and other ones are foreign and they are not adequate about what they are saying actually telling us lies keeping us memorized it's not right to do this to us as we are all trying to have a little piece of the pie is nothing wrong with enjoying the freedom of our great country and enjoying the currency that keeps us all thriving although when somebody makes a mistake when printing such things out there is a tendency for someone to want to collect them and that's good but why do you want to throw it into the garbage and make it look stupid like everyone knows there's no peas use generally on mint marks on coins especially pennies thank you
I have 3 of these coins. I know very little about all of this just instinct and hey that looks strange to use as tools. Which seems to be working out. I also have a skill for adapting so I find ways to look for what others ignore. I am just now learni g that this is a super power of mine. I am pushing 5 decades on this planet and not easy ones so I am thrilled to finally know I can screw up in reverse as mach ones said but they also said... Take my avice pull down your pants and slide down the ice. Good advice. Have fun y'all.
That reminds me of someone I know. Every time they found something they thought they had something valuable without going through all the checks and without understanding the concept of condition and population.
No other coin collecting channel actually describes things and puts it into such simplicity as you do. Thank you again kudos and keep going
I really appreciate that Katheryn! Comments like yours make it all worth it!
This is a GREAT coin-geek video, I enjoyed every minute of it! I remember when I was a kid in grade school when this quarter came out. I also remember the painting of all the fire hydrants with patriotic red-white & blue artwork to strut your patriot stuff. Ahhh, those were the days.
@@alanmolox2095 it was a different time for sure. I hope we can get back to that sometime soon! Thanks for the comment!
This has to be the best video of the errors of the bicentennial quarter ever. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words!
Agreed
Totally agree with u
I agree... so this means that you hold on to it...
I have 2 1976 proof sets I'm wondering if 1 of the quarters could be silver. it's in plastic so how do I tell
Weigh it
I might could do that but separately would hafta take it outa the plastic case. but thabnks you give me an idea..
I have a steel cent with a big blotch on the back, the middle 60% is faint not sure if it’s a lamination error or struck through grease on the die but it’s interesting. I want to get it graded but I want to have enough coins to grade that it’s worth the effort.
If it’s a steel penny then it’ll be worth it no matter what.
I found a bicentennial that has a very shiny coating that appears almost gold. It has several spots of tarnish on the coating. Any idea why it’s so shiny?
If you have a bicentennial quarter that could potentially be worth alot of money how do you go about selling it
What is a 1958 silver quarter worth it was in a proof set but taken out I found it and put it into a paper sleeve
So I've never been able to find or find out any information about a Bicentennial quarter i had when i was 7 back in 1996, the drummer boy was missing his left drum stick.
Does anyone know about that one or is it a one of a kind i spent on a bag of hot fries?
I have also seen that coin!
Yeah they’re pretty valuable I think
9:31 9:33 thanks for all this information. It's great stuff to know.
Interesting that when I have a coin like this, dealers call it machine doubling but when the dealer has one like this, it’s a double die. Go figure!
Having cake and eating it too is the dealer game. Gotta learn what machine doubling is compared to a DD- bc isn't it died by machines? It's BS
House rules it seems....booo!
My experience with dealers is disappointing. I feel many of them are swindlers.
99.9% are thieves they say don't clean your coins I sold a rare quarter to a dealer for 80 dollars, I know for a fact he used a Dremel with a soft cloth bit cleaned it like new and asked 8500 for it, ya they don't want us to clean them SO THEY CAN AND MAKE BIG MONEY.

Thanks so much for this info!
Why are the 6’s on the two years different on the quarter?
What about the gold looking one in the picture? I have similar
I have one that has the ITED on United at the top all connected. Is this a rare error.

So, i found a s bicentennial roll hunting, but it didnt look like a proof and it had a clad line. Was it at all silver, orerrr?
go to a collector
Did they have a S mint mark ? If so they could have been silver. If not they were not .
@barrygoodson4952 it wasn't. But unless the D mint mark was damaged from mint, pretty sure it was a clad s. Since then I have found two proof bicentennials
What about black smudge mark on a deep brownish wine color
Toning can look really good on a coin if it's natural but it usually won't result in a premium on a coin.

If you have any questions like this is the question about how much is it
What’s the beast location for a fast coin transaction for cash
Yeah, it's hard for me to see the doubling on coins. My eyes are bad.so I'm glad I found this video

Sure there is a good indication but how can we know?? Exactly I got one just like the one on video??
I have a double die 2016 obverse what is it worth

how do i sell my quarter? any one knows?
Ebay
@@HolaBrazil thanks
I have two what's the site called
PCGS or NGC
So does it having no letter worth anything?
No, 99% of the time, a no mint mark coin, was minted in Philadelphia.
Ok thanks.
I've been finding these quarters in my change lately.
Yes ! me too...In my laundry money...I find a few proofs ,
I see them occasionally. If you're seeing alot, someone may have been holding them and eventually put them back into circulation.
I have one with a larg lump on both sides in the casting
Is it worth anything
It's on the shoulder and behind the back of head
Have you heard of a 2010 Lincoln cent that's stamped with the date in different places all over it
You'll scratch a million dollar ticket before you will find that error coin. Have a bunch of them. 25 cents is all there worth.

You can check www.pcgs.com and estimate the grade with their photograde sections, then look at the price guide and estimate the price.
Maybe you need an English teacher
Perhaps.
had a lot of the quarters, took them to a coin show, no one would care to look. (the vendors were so busy with selling silver).
