I found a 1918 wheat cent coin roll hunting and it was a true lowball. The wheat stalks are like 90% invisible, and I think it would straight grade at a FR-02. Pretty cool for something purchased for a cent lol.
i my Change about a month ago i got a 1943 S liberty head Mercury dime it is in Perfect Condition .. i was thinking that some kid got into his mom or dads coins, because it sure was not in Circulation ...
I sold a 10-ounce generic silver bar at the LCS yesterday. As I was waiting for the cash, a man entered with $50 face value of Washington 90% quarters. I heard the coin shop owner state his offer price: $600.00 The customer said that he had paid around a thousand dollars for the quarters. eBay charges high fees. Coin shops have a ridiculous profit margin on 90%. I'm glad I bought generic silver bullion instead of junk silver. Collecting is one thing. Investing is another.
The price he paid depends on when he bought it. I know I paid way to much for gold and silver back in 2011. He could have bought it then or in 1980. There are times when silver and gold are high then they are low. I can buy coins for today almost half what I paid in 2011 and in 1980, but you can't time the market. If you want it then you buy it.
Chiefly Chieftain I don’t but it was pure dumb luck, my friend got me interest in silver in ‘09 so I bought under $20 and doubled my money then I’ve been accumulating again ever since it went back down under $20
I feel silver is underpriced. Gold on the other hand is overpriced. When gold drops to what it was about sixteen years ago then I will buy more of it. I overpaid for gold a long time ago along with silver. Just like the stock market you can't time it.
Thanks for bringing up an area of coin collecting that I have never heard of before. Part of me thinks this is driven by the grading firms to create more volume, but if it's for real that doesn't matter.
Interesting. I just got my hands on a 1/2 dollar book of 40 coins. The 1917's are all pretty worn out. You can see the date but the coins all before 1925 are pretty worn out. Also got a book of mercury dimes.
BRSH, please do another video on this topic! Can you define a readable date and mint mark? What denominations of coins should one search? Can this be a profitable venture?
Of course some grading companies want to encourage people to pay them $16-$30 to grade a $5 coin! Just so it can be in the registry so they can compete for the set with the most coins with the lowest grades or something like that. They're just laughing themselves to the bank.
Extremely high grade and unspent coins are beautiful, but don't have much of a story behind them. So called Lowball coins have extreme stories behind them. That 1800 cent was probably spent tens of thousands of times, handled by a million people, and travelled far and wide. If only it could speak and tell its history. I can really understand the appeal of collecting such peices of history. Great video.
Great Idea +BlueRidgeSilverhound That is what I have been doing is lowballing, but in better grades. I was looking at a bucket of coins at the dealer where I buy my supplies and saw quite a few Low End Berbers, Liberty's, Morgans and Peace Dollars that I was thinking of getting, 1 or 2 pieces at a time (prices are low enough but still to high for my pay grade). I won't sell anything to him though seeing he pays 20% or more below wholesale, if I were to sell anything to him I want either wholesale or a bit higher (but still low enough where he can make a profit) but he won't go that high.
just subscribed - i love finding old coins that have wear, but you can still read the date. walking liberty halves, standing liberty quarters or barber dimes with the date for spot? no problem there. great video and channel
They'll have to change the poem to "922, when Columbus sailed the ocean blue." LOL What's the value of that 922 Peace Dollar? I would keep it in a plastic sleeve if I carried it around.
intresting idea people buy old worn jeans and pay more than a new pair so why not with coins. All about the look like toned coins some worth alot more.
I've got old coins... but it's hard not to like sexy new silver... but yeah, I cherish my morgans and peace dollars too... and liberty coins I got, etc
7 лет назад
hmm. I was decades ahead of my time because generally my entire collection of old coins was "lowball". Of course as a 9-13 year old back in the 1960s all I could do was look at change or go to the bank and get $20 worth of pennies and look at all of them. Looking at them now I am sure that my eyes have gone because I know that I could see super worn dates, but now I don't see anything
I have a 1925 peace dollar that was made into a necklace in 1938 for my grandmother on her 13th birthday and has never been worn. She has recently passed and my mother has it now. What is it worth? There is no damage to the coin . It is very strongly struck. There is a silver rope chain that has been soldered around it. We want to sell it. Any advice?
Unless the chain can somehow be removed without leaving any trace, it would probably get a "removed from jewelry" designation from one of the grading companies, which would take down the value. If they noticed signs of handling or cleaning, that would also probably affect the value and the grade. On top of that, if it's a regular 1925 from Philadelphia, it's not likely to be worth over $100 unless it's problem-free and higher than MS-64. If it's a 1925-S, it could be worth quite a bit more than $100 if it's problem-free and higher than MS-62-but in either case, it would only get grades like those if they didn't give it a "details" designation (like cleaned, removed from jewelry, scratched, etc.)
I get crazy nice Morgan's and peace dollars for little over melt value at my local coin shop , I find many proofs in the junk bin . Condition don't matter to him he checks for key dates and all the rest if their not sold that month they go to the refiner . I fill tubes each week of silver dollars and resell them on ebay for 700 + , then buy a tube of silver Eagles , and each week I do the same thing it's my own little business . I guess the local drug sets help the coin dealer stay stocked up , and he tells me I'm 1 of 7 people who actually buy the coins the rest sell sell sell . I will take advantage of this as long as I can . My friends beg me to tell them where it's is , and their so stupid it's in are town , and they drive by it all the time .
I like your comments on peace dollars seems a good way to go would you know what silver percent or how much silver in each thanks as a beginner lot to learn
Robert Walterman pre-1965 (1964 and earlier) Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollar coins have 90% silver. After '64, the silver content was reduced to 40% (1965 to 1967 in the Quarters, then fully copper/nickel clad beginning in 1968) in the half's and IKE Dollar coins until '74, then they too became fully copper/nickel clad as well beginning in 1975, with the bicentennial mintages. You'll only find silver in bullion and proof coins nowadays. Hope this helped.
I had a similar circumstance with a 1917 D type 1 Std Lib 1/4. The D plus zero stars under the bird all but sealed it. Maybe I should have it graded cus it's sorry as hell looking. Lol. Anyway, cool channel subbed.
In the whole 12 minutes and 8 seconds of your clip about "low-ball" coins, I failed to hear one piece of information that would make such coins valuable. And most reputable companies will not grade this type of coin, or charge you more to grade it than it would ever be worth.
Love yr vidios...plzzz tell me if ..COPYS...ARE WORTH ANYTHING ? I have a Arabic Coin..I looked up..460 b.c...but it's got COPY ON IT.....SO WHAT DO YOU THINK???
I personally don't agree with the red book pricings . I went through a lot of 25 dollar boxes pennies wheats are not plentiful like they were. I believe any 100 year coin should be worth a lot more. Coins were destroyed in the years for silver etc they are not plentiful like they were in the past. People are destroying coin to make rings jewelry etc . I believe the red book pricings should be a lot higher.
You are wrong there. In fact the red book prices for relative common coins are higher than what dealers are willing to pay! The value of a coin is (1) how rare it is and (2) how desirable it is. When you say "coins were destroyed in the years ...", it simply doesn't matter if they made 10,000,000 of them if there are only 5,000 collectors.
the 1800 is an 1800/1799 or 1800/1798 it looks like 1800/1799 thats the more valuable I collect large cents I love them being brass or bronze how many hands they've passed thru wow
I love coin collecting I literally have thousands. I disagree with you I much rather have many low grade coins than a few high grade. And I do have both. Probably at least 50 k worth. And older rare coins still carry a lot of value.
I have a gold coin with a liberty bell with 1776 on leftside an1976 on the rightside with 13 stars around the coin on back has. United states of America bicentennial with a eagle with liberty between the wings woundering what its worth
I have a 2004 p Jefferson peace nickel in pretty good condition, very legable. It's just like the one that sold for $3,000. Where can I sell mine? I will take less for mine. I also have a 1969 s that looks like it has 3 faces on it. HELP
Beautiful coins......if you could go back in time and follow a coins history, until it came in to your pocket, what a story it would make.
I found a 1918 wheat cent coin roll hunting and it was a true lowball. The wheat stalks are like 90% invisible, and I think it would straight grade at a FR-02. Pretty cool for something purchased for a cent lol.
love collecting the older coins no matter the condition...found a 53 penny in amazing condition the other day coin rolling.

Good looking coin. The wear makes them attractive.

you mention 'type 1 or 2' what is a Type 1 or 2 and how do you tell? Are there more "TYPES"? I am extremely new to this. Can you tell? lol
Certain coins have had minor alterations to their design. The buffalo nickel was one. The buffalo went from standing on a hill to flat ground.
great video friend😊
really enjoyed your video
Interesting!
I will buy coins that show some wear but I will not buy coins so worn that you can't see the date or any of design details .
