I Just Found Over $1,000.00 in Silver Coins!

[@hokkaidoutaima]

Such a rare thing these days, walking into a bank and coming out with REAL money that means something :D Congratulations!!

[@Klesh]

It was awesome thanks!

[@LockerLootersIN]

We went to the bank the other day and my wife reminded me to ask for halves. We got $300 worth and found 33 - 40%ers and 6 - 90%ers in customer wrapped rolls. Awesome score. Thank you for sharing

[@Lifesvagabond]

Your videos are inspiring! Congrats man, that's a nice haul!

[@Klesh]

Glad you like them!

someone likely got into their grandpas coin collection

Yep probably

My mother some years ago gave me a bag of 50's, she got them in Reno before they went with the newer slot machines.. in the bag were numerous collectables.. Still have about 100 coins left as people collect them, I get top value..

[@ChrisW18]

That’s an awesome score, congrats!! Being a coin collector, I’m wondering how a “customer” would have no idea they were all Silver. Just blowing my mind 🤯

[@Klesh]

Some people just don’t know

[@ants-in-my-eyesjohnson1271]

@@Klesh How do you sell that though? Do you melt it down or will a pawn shop just hand out a grand for those coins?

Wow, amazing find, love to hear more about the unmarked bicentennial. Got loads of those here, figure they are common. Cheers Shane!

[@Klesh]

Unmarked bicentennial are very common, over half a billion minted. However, Silver with no mint mark are extremely rare and valuable.

[@mountainofcoinachord3364]

I only dream about going to the bank and them handing me rolls like you just got congratulations I still have hope

[@mikeobie1]

I hope for this every single day. My bank knows to keep an eye out for anything like this for me. Best I ever got in 1 roll was 6-40% and 1-90.

[@chriseggert4000]

I went into a local bank and asked if they had any half dollars, they said yes they had gotten in $390 worth of them. I bought them all and got home to go through them. The first roll I dumped in my hand was all walking liberty half's. Out of the $390 worth of half's I ended up with 30 walking liberty half's, 28 Ben Franklin half's, 22 of the 1964 90% and 109 of the 40% that were all S mint mark proof coins in outstanding condition. My best day ever on searching half's and I will probably never beat that day. Thought I had a repeat coming a few months later when the first roll I dumped in my hand had 18 walking liberty halfs in it, but that was the only 90% I found that day...

I work in a bank and when I used to be a teller, I would buy rolls like these for myself. If people came in with old rolls like this we would buy them and split them all. It’s crazy how people don’t understand the value of some of these things if you just pay a little attention

[@bigdogbob845]

Klesh, I am a big fan of stacking, and have had great success @ Estate sales. I like to go check them out early in the sale, and if they have some junk silver / coin collections I will return right before they are closing on the final day of the sale. Most times they are willing to negotiate so I can get what ever they have left at a good price. The pandemic has slowed things down some, but in March , 2020 I scored about 8 and a half pounds of pre-'64, US mint, 90% silver halves, quarters, and dimes for.........wait for it...........$300 cash. That "Junk" is worth about $3,000 today. Sweet Score, not the first time either. Keep on Stacking !

A Head Teller friend of mine told me she tried to talk an older lady out of turning in a bill that was clearly over 70 years old and in great shape. The lady insisted she just wanted the hundred. So the Head Teller had another teller make a change bill action for her, and she sold the collectable bill for over $500. People not around collecting or respecting their family that are collectors will do this type of thing all day long.

[@ut000bs]

Sounds like the Silver Eagle a lady in front of me in line at the store used to pay for part of her groceries. She didn't look like she needed to use that silver as a dollar. Maybe she didn't know any better. The cashier also didn't know any better. I bought it from her for $1.

I had a friend whose Mom tossed thousands of dollars worth of his collectable comics while he was in the military, and his parents denied they had value. So he took a few from what she did not find, and his Dad to a show. His first 3 sales brought in $750. He said, Dad, she threw out 60 comics this good as collectables, and they were in my room. She gained nothing, no closet space no garage space, she changed nothing in my room, just threw out thousands of dollars for no reason.
