In fact, a proof V nickel can be had for $300. You have damaged coins like your holed Seated dime. Again it's a scrap coin. It doesn't cost much to get Seated dimes in XF+ so there's no excuse getting damaged, slick coins. Your Draped Bust cent looks to be Poor 01 or Fair 02. The date is barely legible on your cent.

I find these type collections much more interesting than collections of just one type of coin. You can see a (mostly) full history of US coinage on just a few pages. For the Ike dollar, you could go with a 40% silver that is not proof. That will match up better with the other silver dollars in the book. They are fairly inexpensive to find.
I got started collecting coins because of the time I found a really worn out 1910 wheat penny in the street. It's so worn out, you can barely make out anything which I know is not going to be worth much, but just looking at it and thinking about the history behind it is priceless to me!
Cool set. In my original coin collection I came close to filling that book up. I had that pesky 20 cent piece and the 2 seated liberty dollars it asks for. Sadly, I sold most of those coins. Now I'm collecting again. I have 2 LIberty seated dollars again, but not the 20 cent piece. You mention Trade Dollars. I'm working on a US TD type set right now. My big ones are 2 proof only TD's and a pattern TD. I love those coins. TD's are my favorite US coinage. When I'm done with this, it's on to the Drape Bust Dollars. Those are one of my favorites. Got 2 of them so far.

Yes, all gold coins are 'obsolete' as are U.S. half cents, two and three cent coins, half dimes, twenty cent, fractional currency notes, and such. All are, however, still legal tender as is everything issued by the U.S. since the Mint Act of 1792. This is in reference to actual coinage issued for circulation, not 'bullion coins' of the late 20th Century to present.
Love it, nice easy way to collect US coins. Just wondering if they need to update it, with the recent coins like State Quarters, the Shield cent, 2004 Jefferson Nickels and Presidential dollars etc. Glad they keep the album real for most collectors as it would be impossible get flowing hair coins and wreath cents for most collectors.
Adorecream 1976 I hate that Whitman’s wheat cent album has a 1909 s vdb spot. Obviously I’m never going to finish that album without soending at least 400 dollars 😩😔

Dansco hasn't made them in over a decade. They are only second market albums now. They need to do an update with the shields and ATB quarters but its doubtful they will.
Use a toothpick or a sharp pencil to remove a coin from a cardboard 2X2. The lead or wood is strong enough to puncture the plastic, but is too soft to scratch the coin.
@@tryanglecrew9128 Generally, a 1979 Lincoln cent is worth one cent. There may be some varieties (double die, etcetera) that have value, and error coins, but overall a 1979 Lincoln Cent is very common. To not have the letter 'D' (or any other letter) indicates that it was minted at Philadelphia. A letter 'S' would indicate San Francisco, which would be a proof coin. Most coins struck for circulation at that time were minted at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and at Denver, Colorado. Only the Susan B. Anthony dollar was minted for circulation at San Francisco, California, in 1979. All other 1979S coins, as well as some 1979S Anthony dollars, were specially minted and handled, with a proof finish, and sold to collectors. Here is a value guide for U.S. coinage: numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml
@@tryanglecrew9128 The opposite of near. In the sense that I used the word 'far', however, it means 'very much'. An example would be "It is far too hot today to wear a heavy coat."
Because there are different ways to define type sets. Imagine if you had to collect EVERY variation of Morgan dollars, for example. Peace dollars have the high-relief 1921, which is expensive. I'd just buy a low-relief example from later years and call it good. Indian cents have the no-shield reverse of 1859, the copper-nickel type of 1860-1864, and the bronze type of later years. And the list goes on.

In BU, Trade dollars are all expensive. I paid over $1200 for my MS62. Even in problem-free, low circulated condition, they're still worth at least $200 (the price guide says you can get a G4 for $100, but good luck finding one).
They are, but weren't always. I had a 1934 Stack's catalog that had 'offers to buy' on the last few pages of it. Trade dollars were purchased at 65 cents each in lots of ten or more. In later years, 'chop marks' were viewed as damage or alterations and devalued the coins. Now they are (appropriately, I'd say) viewed as part of the coin's history since they were produced to facilitate trade with the 'Far East'.
Best and worst thing I ever did was decide on a grade across all coins. Then found an MS Seated dollar and screwed myself over. Now every coin is under graded and the total eye appeal had to be shifted.
Unfortunately they are basically sold out everywhere or really expensive. You can get it here (amzn.to/2SQrhag). However, much cheaper but not quite as good: amzn.to/2SQrhag or amzn.to/3claTGP

Interesting to see Kennedy halves 1965-70 being referred to as clad? Nice video however! I don't actively collect US coins here in Sweden but I actually got a Buffalo nickel 1913 variety one in a world coin lot. :) I would say VF to XF in quality but I am bu no means good at judging quality :P
U.S. half dollars of 1965 -1970 are, indeed, 'clad' coins as they were minted on planchets with outer layers of .800 silver, .200 copper bonded to a core of .209 silver, .791 copper. As the net yield of such coins is 40% silver, they are often called '40%' or 'silver clad'. The same composition was used for 'Blue Pack' Eisenhower dollars minted from 1971 - 74 as well as 'silver' Bicentennial quarters, halves, dollars that were specially packaged and sold by the mint. Many people who are aware that 1964 Kennedy halves are 90% silver are unaware of the silver content of 1965 - 70 halves which means they are often found in circulation to this day. Buying rolls of halves at banks (in the U.S.) can be a dandy way to go about 'silver mining' for that reason. Free grading guides can be found online for your Indian Head nickel. It is one of my favorite coin designs, done by husband and wife sculptors James and Laura Fraser.

That's true. I've passed on a lot of otherwise nice coins because of slide marks. If the obverse is exposed it's even more risky because the coins can fall out. I also think it's important to protect your coins from damage even if they are inexpensive. Someone else will own those coins one day, after you die, even if you never sell any.
@@jeffw1267 Yeah. what I would do is put them all in 2x2 flips, put them in a 2x2 flip folder, and put those in a binder. Then you can expand them or put whatever you want.
I always go to my local bank just to collect those Eisenhower dollar coins among other things One day my teller was holding a stash for me and told me an elderly lady needed some money so she exchanged some coins in I got 10 Eisenhower’s , 2 1964 half dollars and best of all 1 Morgan Dollar and 1 piece dollar I love my Morgan dollar coins
I started when I was 13 as well. My friends could never figure out why I was always broke. My sister worked at a saving and loan, so that helped a lot. at one time, I had every penny from 1877 to date, including the 1909s vdb.
Stay with it! I started at about age eight and developed interest in and appreciation for history largely due to having collected coins. I'm sure you've imagined what hands they have passed through and the events that have occurred since they were minted.
@@doubled7080 Pennies were British and were abandoned by them in 1970. The idea of metric coinage was quite novel in 1792 and was pioneered by the U.S. Mint; one dollar = ten dimes = 100 cents. Ten dollars was equal to one (gold) eagle. Many people in the U.S. do not realize that we (sort of) went metric nearly 230 years ago and still use the metric system daily. The U.S. dollar was based on, and traded on par with, the Spanish dollar which was the most widely respected unit of international commerce at the time. As the Spanish dollar was divided into eight reales, or 'bits', U.S. half dollars, quarter dollars and half cents were also minted to make change of 'two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar' with one real (bit) being 1/8 dollar or 12 and one half cents.
You can get a PCGS or NGC graded MS66 steel cent for not more than $30 with shipping. It's already slabbed so it won't fit in the book, but it's not a lot of money for a really nice coin.
@@Silverpicker Those were sold in magazine ads extensively in the 1960s and 70s, often in a set (PDS) that came in a small lucite snap case with cardboard insert.
If you're referring to his Columbian Half Dollar (at 18:25), they were coined (and dated) 1892 and 1893 to raise funds for the World's Columbian Exposition which opened in Chicago on May 01, 1893. It was the first United States commemorative coin. U.S. Mint: www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/commemorative-coins/columbian-exposition-half He is correct, therefore, in identifying a Columbian Half (even if the second year) as "the first of the series" having just referred to U.S. commemorative half dollars as "the series". The next commemorative half dollar would be the 1915s Panama Pacific issue. There was no regular or commemorative issue of U.S, coin introduced in 1882. The 'Liberty' five cent nickel made its debut in 1883, that's about as close to "1882 is the first year [sic]" as it gets.
@@Silverpicker I guess so, I just feel its strange, I should be working on my own album, will send you a letter this week with something for your Philippine collection.
Missing a lot of type coins in that set and not only ones that you don't have filled out but also no page of gold none of the earlier half dollars and dollar coins along with a few other
Sort of. "Trime" not "tHrime." Also, there was indeed a three cent nickel in addition to the 3 cent silver. The difference between them is the type of metal they were made of. Nickels were never silver, but 3 cent pieces were made in both metals

My personal opinion of the TRIME is to display the III side. I think it is more eye catching but it is your collection. Keep adding.
I hear that. It is a super cool design. I just happen to like the star side better lol!
Very nice additions! BTW, not a fan of your way to remove 2x2 coins. I use small blade to puncture 2x2 plactic, avoiding staples.
Hey silver picker nice set
Are $2.50, $5.00 etc gold coins considered obsolete denominations of coinage?
Yes, all gold coins are 'obsolete' as are U.S. half cents, two and three cent coins, half dimes, twenty cent, fractional currency notes, and such.
All are, however, still legal tender as is everything issued by the U.S. since the Mint Act of 1792.
This is in reference to actual coinage issued for circulation, not 'bullion coins' of the late 20th Century to present.
What do you do with the ones you have replaced? Sell them for others?
Exactly!
Love it, nice easy way to collect US coins. Just wondering if they need to update it, with the recent coins like State Quarters, the Shield cent, 2004 Jefferson Nickels and Presidential dollars etc. Glad they keep the album real for most collectors as it would be impossible get flowing hair coins and wreath cents for most collectors.
Adorecream 1976 I hate that Whitman’s wheat cent album has a 1909 s vdb spot. Obviously I’m never going to finish that album without soending at least 400 dollars 😩😔
I definitely wish they would update it. If they did I would totally buy the new version
@@limaechonumismatics The older albums (several decades ago) had perforated cardboard plugs in those spots marked 'rare', as people filled the albums with coins found in their pocket change. If one was lucky enough to find a '14d, '09sVDB..., one punched out the delete and in went your prized 'key' coin.

Where you get this book
Never been so excited by someone else's collection.😁😁😁
Thanks Jason! It's not the most professional collection, but for me, each coin has a story, and it feels good to have acquired the collection in such an untraditional way
Nice book and coins congrats thanks for sharing
thanks!!
Did the link you have for buying a type set album change or was it always littleton? Im going to buy a dansco album like you have, but want to make sure you still get that benefit for the link.
The reason is because the Danscos are out of stock so the only ones available are like $75 each
@@Silverpicker Oh shoot. How often do they come in stock?
@@jlward129 Unfortunately I'm not sure. I don't think that often
@@Silverpicker Dang. Alright. I suppose Ill just keep collecting like I am, ill use 2x2s and hope they come into stock soon. Otherwise, Littleton it is. Thank you for your time! :)
Dansco hasn't made them in over a decade. They are only second market albums now. They need to do an update with the shields and ATB quarters but its doubtful they will.
Trying to find a place to sell junk coin, specifically, 40% '65 - '70 silver. Any suggestions?
I'll buy them for the right price. Email me at thesilverpicker@gmail.com
Use a toothpick or a sharp pencil to remove a coin from a cardboard 2X2. The lead or wood is strong enough to puncture the plastic, but is too soft to scratch the coin.
Hi silver piker. i have 1 cent liberty coin 1979 red. how much its value. i'd like an answer.
Your description is far too general.
@@-oiiio-3993 1 cent lincoln 1979 no letter D red color
what means far?
@@tryanglecrew9128 Generally, a 1979 Lincoln cent is worth one cent.
There may be some varieties (double die, etcetera) that have value, and error coins, but overall a 1979 Lincoln Cent is very common.
To not have the letter 'D' (or any other letter) indicates that it was minted at Philadelphia. A letter 'S' would indicate San Francisco, which would be a proof coin.
Most coins struck for circulation at that time were minted at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and at Denver, Colorado.
Only the Susan B. Anthony dollar was minted for circulation at San Francisco, California, in 1979. All other 1979S coins, as well as some 1979S Anthony dollars, were specially minted and handled, with a proof finish, and sold to collectors.
Here is a value guide for U.S. coinage: numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml
@@tryanglecrew9128 The opposite of near.
In the sense that I used the word 'far', however, it means 'very much'.
An example would be "It is far too hot today to wear a heavy coat."
So is there a way to get some free coins shipped and delivered without paying a fee? Would be much appreciated if you could answer my question. 🤔🤙
Buen vídeo
Thank you!
Where did you get the album for your set?
I bought it from an LCS in New Jersey years ago
i just got my type set and 42 holes are empty
Pretty fun and interesting!
This was an awesome video. Thank you. More coin videos please.
I think the date on that 2 cent piece is 1864
Thanks Simon!
there are two types of three cent silvers. why is there only one in the set
That's a darn good question. Gotta ask Dansco!
Because there are different ways to define type sets. Imagine if you had to collect EVERY variation of Morgan dollars, for example. Peace dollars have the high-relief 1921, which is expensive. I'd just buy a low-relief example from later years and call it good. Indian cents have the no-shield reverse of 1859, the copper-nickel type of 1860-1864, and the bronze type of later years. And the list goes on.
@@jeffw1267 Well stated.
I think there's actually 3.

I thought trade dollars were valuable in any condition?
They absolutely are. The only thing I meant was that there are other coins in the album that may be more valuable
In BU, Trade dollars are all expensive. I paid over $1200 for my MS62. Even in problem-free, low circulated condition, they're still worth at least $200 (the price guide says you can get a G4 for $100, but good luck finding one).
They are, but weren't always. I had a 1934 Stack's catalog that had 'offers to buy' on the last few pages of it. Trade dollars were purchased at 65 cents each in lots of ten or more.
In later years, 'chop marks' were viewed as damage or alterations and devalued the coins. Now they are (appropriately, I'd say) viewed as part of the coin's history since they were produced to facilitate trade with the 'Far East'.
Best and worst thing I ever did was decide on a grade across all coins. Then found an MS Seated dollar and screwed myself over. Now every coin is under graded and the total eye appeal had to be shifted.
You could sell the MS Seated Liberty dollar. You shouldn't have a problem getting a big offer on it if it looks good. Those coins are RARE.
Can you link me a website where I can buy one of those albums? I can't find one
Unfortunately they are basically sold out everywhere or really expensive. You can get it here (amzn.to/2SQrhag). However, much cheaper but not quite as good: amzn.to/2SQrhag or amzn.to/3claTGP
@@Silverpicker unfortunately they dont seem to ship them to Ireland but I appreciate the help
ooof i love these!! your album looks amazing, i tried the link in your description but it goes to a really kinda plain and ugly-inside looking album that isn't even in stock ;_;!! i want one like yours Lol!! *edit nvm yours is $140 right now so, my type set isnt worth that yet LOL* ... also is your is your mercury dime cleaned at 14:24 ? i mean, it looks cleaned :( or is it just that good of condition? awesome collection :D

I need som franklins 💯I got like eight just started stacking them . As well as sets
That Mercury Dime is AU.
Is there a 1943 copper cent? I heard it existed, possibly on another youtube channe.Thank you for your educational videos.
Yes, 40 were minted, most were re melted, but around 15 specimens still exist.
Thank you for the information.
Yes, but they are exceedingly rare. More of an error than a true type piece
@@regnij01 Nobody knows how many off metal cents were produced in 1943 as they were error coins.
@@Silverpicker Quite correct.
Do more videos on grab bags! There are so many ones for less than $50 that I’m skeptical about, would love to see if you think they are worth it.
That's not a bad idea. Maybe I'll do the cheapest ones I can find!
Silverpicker yea deff, I’m sure most are not even close to worth it but hey maybe I’m wrong!
Don't waste your money. You're better off buying individual coins if the seller has provided quality photos.
Nice work!
Thanks!n
Where’s that trade dollar video?
I need to make it!!
being a coin collector is very hard without a steady source of income. I will probably get a job next year though.
I think the type set is for people who don’t wanna buy the rest of the albums (sorta obvious)
Sort of, but I would argue that it's for people who are interested in variety of design
Sometimes the reverse is in better shape that the Obverse.
That's true for sure
Interesting to see Kennedy halves 1965-70 being referred to as clad? Nice video however! I don't actively collect US coins here in Sweden but I actually got a Buffalo nickel 1913 variety one in a world coin lot. :) I would say VF to XF in quality but I am bu no means good at judging quality :P
That is awesome!! I also think it's a bit odd to call the 40%ers "clad," but I'd rather have that in there than a true clad coin
@@Silverpicker I agree completely :)
U.S. half dollars of 1965 -1970 are, indeed, 'clad' coins as they were minted on planchets with outer layers of .800 silver, .200 copper bonded to a core of .209 silver, .791 copper. As the net yield of such coins is 40% silver, they are often called '40%' or 'silver clad'.
The same composition was used for 'Blue Pack' Eisenhower dollars minted from 1971 - 74 as well as 'silver' Bicentennial quarters, halves, dollars that were specially packaged and sold by the mint.
Many people who are aware that 1964 Kennedy halves are 90% silver are unaware of the silver content of 1965 - 70 halves which means they are often found in circulation to this day. Buying rolls of halves at banks (in the U.S.) can be a dandy way to go about 'silver mining' for that reason.
Free grading guides can be found online for your Indian Head nickel. It is one of my favorite coin designs, done by husband and wife sculptors James and Laura Fraser.
Thank you for the info
I’ve been collecting for 10 years but don’t have them organized! Not smart as some proofs may be damaged if not secured in a sealed container !

Very nice album. I'm jealous.
Why do you have to wear glove?

@@Silverpickeryou can go to Dansco .com and type it in
@@Silverpicker cant wait for next video
Overtime those books will damage your coins. I know this from experience. Much better to leave your nice coins in a 2x2 flip
That's true. I've passed on a lot of otherwise nice coins because of slide marks. If the obverse is exposed it's even more risky because the coins can fall out. I also think it's important to protect your coins from damage even if they are inexpensive. Someone else will own those coins one day, after you die, even if you never sell any.
@@jeffw1267 Yeah. what I would do is put them all in 2x2 flips, put them in a 2x2 flip folder, and put those in a binder. Then you can expand them or put whatever you want.
Really? I thought this company said it won’t
I always go to my local bank just to collect those Eisenhower dollar coins among other things
One day my teller was holding a stash for me and told me an elderly lady needed some money so she exchanged some coins in
I got 10 Eisenhower’s , 2 1964 half dollars and best of all 1 Morgan Dollar and 1 piece dollar
I love my Morgan dollar coins
I love the video! I’m 13 years old and I am also working on a Dansco type set.
That's awesome! Wish I would have started at your age
I started when I was 13 as well. My friends could never figure out why I was always broke. My sister worked at a saving and loan, so that helped a lot. at one time, I had every penny from 1877 to date, including the 1909s vdb.
Stay with it! I started at about age eight and developed interest in and appreciation for history largely due to having collected coins.
I'm sure you've imagined what hands they have passed through and the events that have occurred since they were minted.
@@doubled7080 Pennies were British and were abandoned by them in 1970.
The idea of metric coinage was quite novel in 1792 and was pioneered by the U.S. Mint; one dollar = ten dimes = 100 cents. Ten dollars was equal to one (gold) eagle. Many people in the U.S. do not realize that we (sort of) went metric nearly 230 years ago and still use the metric system daily.
The U.S. dollar was based on, and traded on par with, the Spanish dollar which was the most widely respected unit of international commerce at the time. As the Spanish dollar was divided into eight reales, or 'bits', U.S. half dollars, quarter dollars and half cents were also minted to make change of 'two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar' with one real (bit) being 1/8 dollar or 12 and one half cents.
Tape damage the value on the coins and there is a double dye on that Canadian pennie on the bird
I love coins
I’m new to your channel
Welcome!
I need one of those sets!!! But it would take me 30 years to fill it!!!
It will likely take me as long as well!
Thirty years well spent.
Nice video. You should probably get a non-reprocessed steel cent
I was wondering about that. You think it's been tampered with?
Silverpicker yes, yours just has that “look”. many steel cents have been replated. look up reprocessed steel cents and compare
You can get a PCGS or NGC graded MS66 steel cent for not more than $30 with shipping. It's already slabbed so it won't fit in the book, but it's not a lot of money for a really nice coin.
@@Silverpicker Those were sold in magazine ads extensively in the 1960s and 70s, often in a set (PDS) that came in a small lucite snap case with cardboard insert.
I love Your Silver.
Thanks!
Hi guus this is very rarr of collection
i just figured out i have the 1976 quarter and i flipped my lid
>fine with silver eagles and like them and are used to them
>freaks out about an bicentennial
Yes that is a cool way to do it
This has become the "give me free stuff" channel
What do you mean? Because of the mail call?
What's wrong with people sending him coins voluntarily?
your two cent piece looks from 1864
How can you tell?
Silverpicker i paused it at 6:14. the last number kinda looks like a 4.
You mean 1892 and not 1893 and 1882 is the first year
If you're referring to his Columbian Half Dollar (at 18:25), they were coined (and dated) 1892 and 1893 to raise funds for the World's Columbian Exposition which opened in Chicago on May 01, 1893. It was the first United States commemorative coin. U.S. Mint: www.usmint.gov/coins/coin-medal-programs/commemorative-coins/columbian-exposition-half
He is correct, therefore, in identifying a Columbian Half (even if the second year) as "the first of the series" having just referred to U.S. commemorative half dollars as "the series". The next commemorative half dollar would be the 1915s Panama Pacific issue.
There was no regular or commemorative issue of U.S, coin introduced in 1882. The 'Liberty' five cent nickel made its debut in 1883, that's about as close to "1882 is the first year [sic]" as it gets.
Obverse definitely.
Hey that is pretty good.
Thanks bernard!

That's why it's called collecting.

@@Silverpicker Thus the fun.
thats called a thrime, not 3c silver nickel. Nickels were never silver lol
Nickels were silver in Canada up till 1920 or so.
Silver 5c coins were called half dimes
Sort of. "Trime" not "tHrime." Also, there was indeed a three cent nickel in addition to the 3 cent silver. The difference between them is the type of metal they were made of. Nickels were never silver, but 3 cent pieces were made in both metals
Silverpicker yea ik that’s what I was saying. There’s the 3 cent nickel and the trime and ppl tend to mix them up
Silverpicker love your vids btw
Arent you afraid that some of those coin could be counterfeit???
No because I've been working in the coin business long enough to know how to tell. It's theoretically possible (anything is) but it's highly unlikely
*just use scissors with 2x2*

can you send me a coin pls :D
