Yeah ya can find them. But try reading the Roll Searcher threads sometime and see how many boxes you go through without finding anything. Then you can think about how many banks they talk about that don't even have any half dollars.
There's always a risk factor. Try buying a 2009 Gold Buffalo and sell it in 2 months, you might come close.
ok then how do I turn $1,000 into $2,000 in less then 2 months with or without coins? please be a little more serious...
Not sure why so many silly answers when there is such a simple, serious answer. Use the money you have to go to China. Find those that are making our coinage. Join them, make as much as you want, bring it back here for sale everywhere. Go to a magic shop and purchase those two headed coins. Then just go around flipping people for money. Uset the money to purchase a gun, rob a bank, put the money from the bank into another banks savings account, turn yourself in but not the money. You'll spend several years in jail, get out on good behavior, go to that other bank and take out lots and lots of money. Skip out to some other country like China and start making our money over there. :goofer: Not sure but I think this was an alfred Hitchcock program.
I made pretty good money when a bank handed me a box of LP1's soon after release. Try to get a hold of some unc dimes and nickels at the bank.
That's true....I actually call my local banks to see which ones have rolls of halves. For every bank that does, I have to call at least 4 or 5. Half the hunt for silver and obsolete halves comes in trying to find the banks which even carry half dollars in the first place.
I like Jim's idea... just buy a bunch of umarked replicas for a buck each from any of the various Chinese sellers on eBay, set yourself up at the local flea market, let people know you inherited these coins from your grandmother, and dump them for two bucks each. Bingo... you doubled your money. Believe me... this happens every day. And it doesn't have to be coins... it could be DVDs, CDs, pocketbooks, clothing, watches, etc.... Our Chinese friends have proven their ability to copy just about anything. And they are very, very good at it. Just be prepared to have the cuffs slapped on if you hang around too long...
I really hope you're not serious. There are ways, of course. Even legal ways. But with the potential of reward comes risk. And, a 600% rate of annual return, required to turn your $1K into $2K in 2 months, would bear an extreme risk. You could put all $1K on a single spin of the roulette wheel, and double your money in seconds, but that comes with about a 52.61% risk of instant ruin. While there are exceptions, in general, the greater the potential rate of return, the riskier the investment. If it were a good investment with little risk, everyone would do it!!!
I'm sure people on the short end of the marriage game (both males and females) could tell you how their ex-partners did it. guy
Take $1000. Take $20 as two rolls of quarters and put them in a sock. Mug 20 people for $50 apiece, or in these bad time 50 people for $20 apiece. Don't get caught. Now you have $2,000. Really, if the people here could actually easily turn $1k into $2K in two months or less and do it consistantly would we be here?
"...without coins?" I don't know why you need to spend $1000 to make any money in the 'without coins' scenario. Get a job! Many jobs earn more than $2000 in a normal 2-week pay cycle, so in 2 months time or less you might be well over your goal. Even if you don't have a high salary position like that, you should be able to earn $2000 in 2 months time, especially if you can earn tips on top of your wages, or take commission work. Just four, two-week payroll cycles bringing you $500 per check total $2000. And, let's not get all technical with what your taxes, etc. do to reduce gross pay leaving you with a lesser net take home... the question wasn't that specific to begin with. :rolling:
I see signs all the time they are hiring people to work at convenience stores, plus you can cherry pick the change that customers leave. Even at minimum wage you should be able to pick up a grand within two months.
If you can find any..heck most banks I go to now days don't have any half dollars, and the ones that DO have them have 1 or 2, and of the very few that do have a couple rolls there are never any silver ones anymore. As a kid in the 90's I used to go to banks and find silver ones all the time, 40 percent, 90 percent, now days...nawp, nothing.
Every time I've asked my bank to order halves for me it has been no problem. Sure, they don't always have a few thousand dollars in halves just lying around, but upon request they get them for me usually the same week.
Take you $1000, and buy coins off of the coinvault which sell on every other channel or in a leading mumismatic catalogue for $3200 and then resell them on ebay for $4000 and send me the extra for a finders fee!!!!!:hatch:
I like the bank ideas, I once went to my bank to get a roll of quarters to go to a poker game. When I opened them at the game I found I had a roll of susan b. anthony dollars. If you did tha 50 times you would be there. Hope this helps!!!!!!:hail:
There is your answer. Buy a book on poker. Spend the first month playing online micro limit games until you have the confidence you need to play $5-10 limit in a real casino. Then go to the casino and play really tight for about 25 hours a week for the second month. Yep, that should do it.
Here are three options that come to mind... 1. If you have the equipment, time, knowledge...and juevos, day trading will get 'er done! 2. Another approach...and I'm being serious here...is to play Keno (assuming you're not afraid to lose your money). I saw a guy turn $1000 to $5000 in less than an hour playing Maryland state keno in a bar. His $5000 quickly went back down to $2000 and he left...never saw him again. The way he played it was with two (2) spots. He picked five (5) sets of two spots that he thought were "hot" and played $200 each per draw. The $200 was played across ten (10) $20 tickets so that no one payment would be over $600 (Keno payouts are tax free up to $600 per ticket...plus you get instant payout). The payout is 10 to 1 on a two (2) spot so $200 worth of tickets returns $2000...but you gotta hit both numbers. Theoretically, if he hit all five two spots in a draw, he would have won $10,000...but that didn't happen (hard to do). I saw him hit 2 out of 5 in one draw...that was pretty amazing! Just remember, the payout is 10 to 1, but the risk is slightly greater than 16 to 1. Over time, you're gonna lose...but it's possible to get lucky and win a chunk of money in a short period of time...like that guy did. 3. This is really the best approach, but takes more time than you want to invest. Spend your $1000 on Cisco Certified Network Administrator (CCNA) certification training. Pass the test, get a job with one of the phone companies, then buy all the silver you desire.
