DON'T Spend This BICENTENNIAL Quarter!

[@alanmolox2095]

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.

[@MintMiser]

@@alanmolox2095 it was a different time for sure. I hope we can get back to that sometime soon! Thanks for the comment!

No other coin collecting channel actually describes things and puts it into such simplicity as you do. Thank you again kudos and keep going

[@MintMiser]

I really appreciate that Katheryn! Comments like yours make it all worth it!

[@alexbadillo9940]

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,

[@patrickhoward1330]

I agree... so this means that you hold on to it...

[@mikekutzner7416]

This has to be the best video of the errors of the bicentennial quarter ever. Thank you.

[@MintMiser]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@shannoncully13]

Agreed

[@LauraCzarnecki]

Totally agree with u

[@timeddy5158]

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!

[@maxf7351]

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

[@jnesrh420]

House rules it seems....booo!

[@ArcaneJawa]

My experience with dealers is disappointing. I feel many of them are swindlers.

[@StevenMartrano]

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.

[@Tkdm5]

Because all coin dealers are full of shit and bullshitter trying to hustle someone that’s why

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?

[@snakeplisken2123]

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.

[@kayleejustice8756]

If it’s a steel penny then it’ll be worth it no matter what.

[@glennallen496]

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.

[@OilyAnimal3]

Did you go through them and find any good good ones?

[@MrsMingo]

Because they are.....

[@michaelleas1243]

@@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.$$$?

[@professorinvestigator3998]

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 might could do that but separately would hafta take it outa the plastic case. but thabnks you give me an idea..

[@johnpetty3574]

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.

[@jnesrh420]

Thank you for the info explained in this video. Ive many many coin to search and all the info helps 😁👍

[@QuaaludeCharlie]

Wow , I had not even known they made some in Silver , Will keep an eye out :) QC

[@MintMiser]

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!

[@JoshK-g2c]

I know silver by difference in the drop sound 👍.

[@Sleghammer]

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.

[@MintMiser]

Is it possible it was machine doubling?

[@Goodmorningmythical]

Did you sell those for a lot of money?

[@Sleghammer]

@@MintMiser I don't know

[@Sleghammer]

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.

Yeah, it's hard for me to see the doubling on coins. My eyes are bad.so I'm glad I found this video

[@robert5]

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’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

[@MintMiser]

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

[@HolyDriver-lz4jh]

I have one that has the ITED on United at the top all connected. Is this a rare error.

[@MintMiser]

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!
