I'll bet he loses money on this buy. There is a reason its sold in bulk. If there were valuable coins, they would have been singled out and sold individually. Like buying bags of worn out silver coins. Only worth their weight in scrap silver.

[@steves2241]

@@yoyo762 You have no idea what you are talking about. That one binder is full of .999 silver dollars, some of them are also American Morgan silver dollars, and they are worth a lot of money. I would bet my life that one binder has $2k in value alone. Silver is $23.62 an ounce, but there is a premium on Morgans, Peace Dollars, and Eagles, we call them an ASE. Even a bullion .999 silver dollar is worth $35 to $39, at the low end. The older coins can be worth much more, as much as $100 to $300 each, depending on the year and the mint mark. Morgan silver dollars range in price from as low as $20 to as high as tens of thousands of dollars. It depends on their condition and the date they were minted, Do some homework before you make a fool of yourself on the internet.

[@steves2241]

@@daniels1485 If he is saying it is nothing but junk silver, he is 100% wrong. I know exactly what junk silver is, and have for many years. I am a coin reseller, and I have been for about 5 years. I buy silver coins and silver bars from the U.S. Mint directly, and Ebay, etc. I mostly buy .999 silver proof eagles, like the v75 WWII silver eagle, I bought one for $83 and sold it for $300 a while back, to a private collector. There is a lot of junk silver in that collection in the video, and a lot of the foreign coins and paper money are probably not worth much. But there is also a lot of .999 silver coins, and I would bet those are worth $2k alone, if not more. I can not say exactly unless I can see each coin, but a lot of what I saw was pure 100% .999 silver, and it looked like he had some older Morgan silver dollars, that depending on the year and the mint mark can be worth hundreds, if not thousands. I had a 5 piece set of Morgan silver dollars about 10 years ago, and even back then they we worth $400 each. I had a 5 year set from 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, and 1890. Just those 5 Morgans were worth $2k, if he has any around those years they are worth the same. If they do not have a mint mark they are not worth as much, but some with the right mint mark can be worth up to $2k for 1 coin.

[@royoser3055]

I'm a coin collector, and some of those pages in the coin binders are worth hundreds of US dollars each. And that's without being able to see if there are any especially valuable dates or varieties. You'll probably find a few individual coins worth over a hundred dollars each. And the volume of less valuable coins will add up nicely. And the Inuit art, wow! Thank your lucky stars I wasn't the attorney for that estate.

[@63angel]

I was just commenting a few minutes ago that he should go to a coin collector or even someone who knows the true value. My husband has been collecting coins and bills for a little over 50 years. I would look at a coin and think it's just a coin. He got upset when I was given the change from the grocery store. My husband knew immediately what he was seeing. I never see him get antsy about coins unless he knows what he's looking at. I just told the cashier to keep it and put it in a cup for people that are short on change. I don't know if the stores in Canada does that or not. But, the stores do in the United States. I live in St. George, Utah and it's common here. I had to look up the name of the penny that he kept from the store. Then look online for it just to make sure it was the same penny from the list my husbands has. There was no way he would let me leave the penny. Normally I do that. I did take the penny. But, I left a few other ones I had in my purse. Since he was dumbfounded and wanted to get out of the store right away, he let me know what it is and that it's worth a lot. He was pretty nervous and tried to stay composed. To me a penny is a penny. Nothing more than that. I always think that they are the most useless coin ever. I think it costs more to make the penny's than the actual penny itself. Of course now I don't feel that way. His coins are in a lockbox at our bank. And he insured his collections. I was super excited when I found out how much that penny is worth. He made sure to put it in the lockbox with all of his coins. That penny is a 1969-S Lincoln Cent With a Doubled Die. I don't know if I worded it right. He tried to explain what that means. All I could figure out that it's more than a normal penny. If you or someone knows a better way to explain what a double die is, I would love to hear what it is in layman's terms. Since he won't sell it and his other coins that's in the lockbox are. For me I just what the information about it. I was telling him that we could sell it and that would help our daughters or our grandkids since they have had money problems. He told me that we can help them the same way we have been doing if they have problems. We don't give them money if it's not important and we don't want them replying on us if they haven't tried to help themselves 1st. But, we have it where our kids and grandkids will get the entire coin collection and it will be split for each person. We also split it based on things going on in their life and life choices. We decided years ago to never sell the collection to anyone since it's for their financial security. My comment has gotten way too long. I'm sorry I'm sharing a very long reply. I just wanted to mention that they should contact a coin collector before doing anything with the collection. unfortunately people aren't honest all of the time. People have a tendency to get something for nothing. They don't care what they have to do to get something from someone. Everyone from what I've seen on your channel, you have awesome people that's watching this channel. Anyhow since its pretty late for me, I'm going to close this comment.

Sorry to hear that you are a coin collector, hopefully you will find something fulfilling to do one day.

[@royoser3055]

@@mad0uche I was a coin collector as a child and early teen over 50 years ago, and it helped me learn a lot about American, world and even ancient history. Coins reveal much about the society in which they were used. With ancient societies, they often are among the last remaining physical evidence of political, economic, religious and cultural systems and events. I suppose many today are ignorant of the importance of learning the lessons of history.

Coincidentally my wife and I were just talking about how the money we spent in our youth is now quite valuable (such as real silver coins). Then it was just money, and if we had saved it instead of spending it - well we wouldn't have had much fun.

[@PatchworkUSA]

When I was a child, my mother had a half-dozen silver dollars stashed in her jewelry box. I knew they were considered valuable and not to be spent. But one night in 1957, my parents decided they wanted our whole family to go see the Doris Day movie “The Pajama Game” which had just come out. Lacking cash and it being in the days before ATMs, they took some of the silver dollars to the theatre to buy our tickets. I felt like we lost a little of the family treasure but the movie was fun.

[@northernerinnc3179]

Coins are deceptive; quantity and age seem to imply worth, but oftentimes the return is low. Sending coins off for grading takes money and time, too, so weigh which coins to actually send off. But, like all coin collectors hope, you may just find some that have value!

[@icanfartloud]

1888 sil dollar US is $40-500 possible.

[@davefish2280]

I think pre-valuing them with a coin valuer app like Coinoscope or something, and only sending coins over $500 or so on the app for grading would be a good strategy. Would not take long to quickly process each coin in the app.

[@royoser3055]

True I guess, especially unloading the less valuable bulk coins at a fair price would take some work. But the more valuable coins would be pretty easy to get $$$ for without paying to get them professionally graded. As Dave Fish said, that is usually worth it only for the most valuable dates, or for gold or ancient coins. Alex does have a few that may have to be graded, especially if he is auctioning them off himself rather than going to a high-end coin dealer who specializes in running those auctions.

[@patmccccc]

According to the NGC Price Guide, as of December 2022, a Morgan Dollar from 1886 in circulated condition is worth between $34.50 and $63. However, on the open market 1886 Silver Dollars in pristine, uncirculated condition sell for as much as $1650

My grandmother was a bookkeeper and was very wise. During her off time she was always learning something. She started saving Silver Certificates in $20, $50 & $100 dollar bills up to a $10,000 stash. When she passed away at an early 72 years old my mom unfortunately sold them to the local coins plus store. They would be worth so much more now, 35 years later.

[@joyharmon1110]

I guess that's a common story. My dad started saving US silver dollars when they were still circulating but new ones were no longer being minted. Sadly, one time when he was ill and out of work my mother spent them. Even then they would have been worth more than a dollar each. However, she had a bad experience with an antique dealer when her mother died. So, I am sure, she didn't trust any dealer. So, thanks Alex for your informative videos.

You would be well advised to "stay tuned" and watch out for the big coin auction coming up. Alex always uses the same auction house, Kastner Auctions. You may be very surprised that most of these coins will sell for much less than they are worth, simply because Kastner is not a huge well-known auction house or online giant with millions of users, it's a little mom and pop business near to Alex and not many people outside of Canada are registered to buy on there. Alex knows this, and is happy to "leave some profit on the table" as he says, for the next guy. I have bought literally dozens of Alex's items from Kastner over the years, stamps, comics, toys, you name it. I shipped them to the UK for a pretty decent rate. Some items I've kept for myself but most I have resold on ebay and have made easily double my money back including the "free" items I've kept for myself, and I've had some really fun things pass through my hands in the process.

What a great find Alex!!!!! I had a very small coin collection which was passed on to me from a very Dear Uncle, he was so very kind to me and gifted me many beautiful things over the years. When I was thirteen I saved up my babysitting money and bought a piano from an antique dealer. It was a "rinky tink" piano which made it super cool in my teen opinion. I had no idea how to play but he counseled me to save and buy it and then get some lessons, which I did. He made me a beautiful piano bench complete with my name burned into the side, it has travelled many miles with me, sadly I couldn't move the piano with me as I was living a bit of a nomadic lifestyle for several years and moved back and forth between several Provinces for a while. Thankfully my best dearest childhood fried played the piano and her parents bought it and she still has it today, some 40 years later :)

This proves my point exactly, why collectors never realize that buying all these variety of coins, although may be fun to do, become a nightmare for your heirs, who 99.9% of the time have absolutely no idea of their value, and end up selling them to the first person who comes along, for many dollars under their supposed value. If I could give one piece of advice to all those fathers, mothers, grandfathers, or grandmothers, please do not waste money on all this crap, because your heirs will just see it as a headache to get rid of, and almost never get fair value for them. Stick to government sovereign coins of your local country (either pure Silver or Gold). Your heirs will thank you.

I shared some things with family, still give away items to friends, and saved mostly large furniture for my own home. I also have one cabinet with a representation of some of the most memorable, special items. My parents weren’t drinkers, didn’t travel much, lived well, but modestly. But they had so much joy antiquing together and collecting items. I focus on their joy, and I do have memories of going with them! The stuff wasn’t really of much value. I did due diligence on certain items. I sold or auctioned some. As I sit here in my room, their gorgeous oak furniture surrounds me. I don’t expect my kids to keep all my stuff. I’ve had great fun traveling and might grab a coffee cup or some small jewelry. No collections for me.

Omg I would love to find that. You have a coin collector’s dream finds.

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

The US coins you need to look for are: Peace/Morgan dollars, Walking Liberty, Ben Franklin, and 1964 Kennedy halves, Quarters and dimes 1964 and older, V nickels, Buffalo Nickels with readable dates, war nickels with the huge mint mark over the Monticello, 1943 steel pennies, half dollars from 1965-1970, and any error coins. On any 1968 Canadian nickels, hold a magnet to them, if they do not stick, they’re silver. You’ll definitely want to grade the best coins, the right coins can make your investment pay off big.

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

On the Morgan dollars, if you see any with the CC (Carson City) mint mark, those are the most valuable. O signifies they were minted in New Orleans.

[@lindawilliams9880]

Seeing all the pennies made me wonder what you did with the cabinet unit you covered with pennies?

[@kaleigh4081]

I'm pretty sure he sold it.

[@robertb4455]

I do wonder what some pennies from the 30'sto 80's will be worth in another hundred years when more countries stop using and minting pennies. I used to collect very red or some other variable pennies up to the 80's. Even 15 years ago, they were worth over a dollar each. Who knows what they wil be worth down the road. I have hundreds if not thousands of Indian Head U.S. Pennies that I got back when I had the itch for collecting coins years ago. Some are in big bags, other are rolled. and some are in cardboard protectors.

Great find Alex! I think your missing out on eBay ! Watch for error coins. They weren’t popular back then, but their hot now !

[@urbanurchin5930]

......but THEY'RE hot now.......learn English ( and viewers are more likely to take your comment seriously )........

[@robertb4455]

Any coin that had errors or something rare about it gets good money on eBay CN or eBay US. They are easy to ship and insure. I have bought and sold quite a few back in the early 2000's when I did more reselling.

[@lorrainelegault5844]

I think you’re going to do very well with all of these coins. Love from Canada.

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Mr. Archbold. 👍👌👏 Very well done, Sir, very well indeed! Absolutely fantastic purchase again! Congrats! I bet all this is worth AT LEAST 10.000 CAD. Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you.

How is your sweet family ? Hope your New Year is filled with lots of family time . 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@lanitaorjeraldlewisdillorl2258]

I thought I saw some gold certificate bills in there too Alex. It will say it on the bill just like the silver ones. You'll definitely make your money back & then some. Yeeeeah!

[@mattchagnon5620]

That binder with the Morgan silver dollar coins is BANK!

[@Tallenn1]

I'm am very jealous!! What a score. I'm sure you'll more than double your money on this.

[@michaelmeehan5505]

It still blows my mind that places in Canada swing 80 degrees C (or more!) over the year. Thanks for the show!

[@sheer64]

Never ceases to amaze me what your able to find.

[@deecarson3343]

Very cool collection. Double check USA paper money and coins. You’re looking for 1943 penny made of copper. Good luck 👍💜

[@lindaboyack3164]

I happen to be 30 minutes early to my event tonight so I’m watching your video!

[@davefish2280]

There's a couple different apps where you can take a photo of a coin on your phone and it immediately shows a rough value. They are pretty good. I've used Coinoscope and it's pretty quick to come back with a value. It can even pretty accurately guess the condition from a photo. Alex could easily "pre grade" all his coins using an app like that and only send the ones worth decent money in the app for grading.

[@christineoates770]

Happy New Year for 2023!🥂

[@monkabuda]

I can not believe I have never come across your videos before. Great content! Thank you!

[@jaylegendre6563]

Great score. Congratulations👏

[@shawnoandrew]

Cool buy. Coin value based on scarcity AND condition.

[@anniehartley8851]

1966 I was 1 year old. So that is old, I collect coins and stamps, that is interesting that somebody collected so many. WOW.

[@janicewiehe9936]

The jade birds are likely magpies and the lid for the jade bowl is topped with a kirin/kylin, a mythical creature. ( they sometimes get mistaken for foo dogs) If the white bowl with lid? Is all carved from one piece and not carved pieces glued together it is worth quite a bit especially if it is carved ivory.

My son has been ice fishing the last few days. I think for pike. It was as big fish! They live in North Dakota. I was wrong they are fishing for walleye!

[@truenorthtreasureseekers5858]

I would sell high value graded coins on eBay set your price and let them sit. Great collection!!

[@sheilakirby5616]

OMG *** THAT'S AN AMAZING COLLECTION !!! I'M SURE YOU HAVE MORE THAN COVERED YOUR INVESTMENT !!!
