I started saving coins a bit over two months ago and it's definitely fun and addictive. In my case, it's not just pennies, but also nickels, dimes, and quarters. I've been very strategic about how I accumulate them and I roll them each week to keep better track of the progress, and thus far I've been averaging almost $3 a day. At this rate I hope to break $1,000 by the end of the year. If this guy wouldn't have focused only on pennies but also saved nickels, dimes, and quarters, he could've saved up $45,000+ over all those years.

My mother, who was born in 1927, and grew up during the depression, always picked up every single penny or coin she found. Till the week she died, last year. She would save the money and at the end of the year donate what she had found to a charity. In the days and weeks after her death, i began finding coins on the ground. Late one night within a few weeks of her death i was in a secluded parking lot at night. I had parked under a light pole, and upon return to my car right in front of the driver side door on the ground, was one of those new gold $1 coins. 😇

He had a couple of male employees unload them and they headed to the Coinstar machine. He said that when he bought the truck he was currently driving he started saving his change so that when it was time to get a new one he could pay for it with his change. Well apparently he new exactly how much he had because he said he had enough to buy one off the showroom floor. I was going to stick around to see how much he ended up with but he had drawn quite a crowd and management of the store was trying to contact their corporate office because they had to pay this out and nobody was sure how much change the coin star machine would accept.

illegal to melt coins for profit since 2006, let alone the expense of melting would only make you loose out on total profit having kept in perfect as can be condition as all pennies before 1983 are 88% or 95% at most, depend son year, knowing this percentage it is easy to evaluate the copper value alone

Nothing after 1980 or so is pure copper. Mostly zinc.

Most pennies up until sometime 1983 were 95% copper the rest zinc but still Illegal to melt for profit.

Who else just watched the video to know how much were the pennies worth?

[@mrhertzppl8759]

would there have been some other reason really

[@MichaelMa]

He neglected all the value of rare pennies. It is surprising how quickly you can go through a 5 gallon jug of pennies to find the old designs and rare metal ones once you get in the swing of it. Probabaly one jug a day. A 2 week project at most for thousands of more extra dollars. He got ripped off.

[@lifeongps]

I collect and sell coins,,,,,wow. He did not mentioned if the pennies were searched for additional value? Just one penny could have made him more than 5k,,,very nice collection Sir!

[@conservativesoldier6509]

He more than likely had more money in rare pennies than he did for the value of each penny

[@phunkfarm]

How can a penny be worth any less than a penny? "more than likely" makes no sense. whats the going rate of an average random wheat back? can we say a nickel?

[@Meatwad787]

pete gregory Every time I look, a wheat is worth like 35 cents

[@Powermusclechick]

that's exactly what my sister and I were saying. Didn't he look at collectors pennies. This is ridiculous. So many pennies could've given him 6 times the amount he got.

[@RamadaArtist]

@@phunkfarm the bulk metal alone in a single penny is worth more than one cent. However what is meant here is the values of individual pennies to collectors, as numismatists are crazy and will assign all kinds of dollar value amounts other than the face value for a wide range of arbitrary reasons, apparently because they find owning money in order to look at it, rather than spend it, to be a rewarding endeavor.

[@RamadaArtist]

@@Powermusclechick hell the pennies he collected in 1970 alone would have been worth 6 time what he cashed them in for in 2015, had he done literally anything else with them other than save them at the time.

[@Tommyxp420]

I'm sure that total would have been way more if he sold the wheat pennies for their value instead of counting them as only 1 cent. Some have a value of over a few bucks to a few hundred dollars. Impressive none the less.

[@wordfromzic]

Smart but i dought anyone wants to search through thousands of pennies

[@Tommyxp420]

[@Tommyxp420]

stamps briefmarken timbre gabriel.c.l The wheat penny is a classic iconic early 21st century American coin with a face value of 1 cent that was minted from 1909 to 1956. On a personal note we just love searching penny rolls forwheat and indian head pennies. This is what the definition of it is. But they say "one cent" on the back instead of having the white house or whatever building is in the back or the shield of the newer pennies. Some are worth thousands of dollars.

Everyone in the comments expecting a big number of money, like bruh it's pennies not quarters. If it was 25 cents it would be OBVIOUSLY MORE

[@cinerama62]

The first 1943 copper cent was sold in 1958 for more than $40,000. In 1996, another went for a whopping $82,500. But those sales pale in comparison with the latest: , a dealer in New Jersey sold his 1943 penny for a staggering $1.7 million.

[@lilliampumpernickle4655]

The 1943 penny was made of steel. That's why it's so rare, and valued as a collector's item.

Imagining saving all these Pennies and he had so many rare ones that was worth more then what he saved for 45 yrs😫

[@JK-dj1zj]

Somewhere in that collection of pennies were pennies worth millions of dollars due to discrepancies during the making of those pennies, or the year the penny was made or even a penny with no letter. Pennies that were made in the 1800's, 1920's, 30's, 40's are worth alot if you're a coin collector. WOW!

[@billyb34usa]

the most valuable pennies are an 1877 Indian head, worth up to $4500 and also 1873 doubled liberty worth as much as $13,500

[@simplysteve68]

J K the ones he collected (if the 45 yrs was from this yr {2018} and in good condition) he began in 1973, so there were a few key dates, plus maybe a few wheaties but not many.

[@JK-dj1zj]

I think you're right Steve. I've been watching nuggetnoggin on here and he's found some interesting coins from civil war times, not many but he's finding them through metal detecting.

[@stegreg-c8e]

John Manrow Steel pennies were made in 1943 since copper wad needed for the war. They aren't that valuable, and are only worth a few cents in average condition. Some 1943 copper pennies however were made on accident and are considered extremely rare error coins. They go for 50k-1.8M depending on grade. Less than 10 of them were found and there may possibly be a few left out there. The problem with 1943 pennnies (and any other valueble coin) is that there are countless fakes out there meant to deceive people, making it very hard for you to find a legitimate one.

Not necessarily , i was handed down not 1 but 3 steel pennys from 1942(1) and 1943(2). They are only worth between $54-$89. The "famous" 1943 steel penny had a certain print on it that makes it worth thousands and a 1943 american coper penny is really sought after because they only minted so few(40) during that time (WW2).

[@dnsmithnc]

Money went for an expensive dental treatment. Folks, many dentists are no more than crooks. Had a 67 year old friend had an estimate for 32 k for work. He kept looking and getting other opinions and estimates, price at another dentist was 22k, another 8k. Finally went to one who told him that you didn't need all his molars (you can do just fine with 4) and didn't need other things the rip off quacks told him he needed. His final bill at this dentist, $1700.00. A year later he is doing just fine. Just because they are doctors don't mean they're not crooks. Keep that in mind when looking for dental work.

[@scottfirman]

john Moreland It would have taken at least a couple weeks to sort the older coins. I know an old gentleman that buried a barrel in his yard. It took his kids and grandkids weeks to sift out the silver and wheat coins. They had quite a lot of them! Those were sent to the local coin dealer whom graded and sorted the silver and others. It took a month! They offered him $5 thousand dollars just for the silver! He got another 10 grand for the regular stuff. Total was $15 grand. He wanted to bury another barrel but his family said no! I was there the day they used a back hoe to dig up the barrel. They used wheelbarrows and loaded the coins into plastic totes.

Too bad that he didn't look at each individual penny from the start. A 1943 copper penny can be worth as much as $1,000,000!
