I was at a customer house yesterday finishing a job I notice all these coins laying on her table, I asked what she was doing with them she told me she was going to deposit them into her account. (Because of the coin shortage) I of course asked her if she would sell them to me for double face value and of course she said yes,. So I am calling on the experts to save me a lot of Google and book time are there any key dates I should look for. Thanks Ps. Pic isn't the best.
That's awesome. I suspect that's how much coins someone would run across in a week's time who goes into old homes and replaces the old furnace ducting in the floors with the old style floor vents.
Well there's a whole lot more I just pic a hand full of a little each to share of course all the coins are silver.
Except the cents and nickels, of course. I dunno. I would've felt compelled to offer more than that. When I found a guy trying to get a pile about that size into a CoinStar, and I was short on cash, I used my credit card to buy him a couple of gift cards for the supermarket we were in. But, yeah, if you can stop someone from depositing silver for face value, then it's just a matter of negotiation -- with the depositor, with your conscience, and with the status of your wallet.
There's only 4 Indian head cents in everything she had 289.00 face value I doubled that they are well circulated coins, of course there worth more in scap but she was going to deposit at face value. My conscience is clear. LOL
I'm surprised a CoinStar machine would accept any of it, since the weight and sizes are off from what modern day currency is. Matter of fact, now that you're mentioning CoinStar, (I learned this from reading on this site), yesterday I was in the local grocery store and I saw the CoinStar machine sitting there so I made it a point to walk past it and look into the reject slot. There was a nice 1960 dime sitting in it. LOL. That made my day.
I know they take clad halves. I'd expect them to reject 90% halves; not sure if they're sensitive enough to reject 40%. I don't believe they take Ikes of any composition, nor any large-size silver dollars. I could be wrong about that, but I seem to remember picking up some Ikes from a grocery's customer-service till because the CoinStar wouldn't take them.
Haven't had opportunity to go thru all off them yet , the reason she was rolling them up was the bank wouldn't take them if she didn't. And she new they where sliver coins and I was only interested in those.
For V nickels the dates are 1885 1886 and 1912-s. worth checking for. Nice group of silver even if the base metal is nothing special (although the V-nickels are at lest a quarter each)
Off the top of my head for the quarters, '32-D, '32-S, '34 DDO (x2), '34 Motto variations (Light/Medium/Heavy) '37 DDO, '43 DDO Check the mintmarks for and overstamping (D/S, etc)
