<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nate4s, post: 1679399, member: 17773&quot;]Okay...so I recently went to this tiny silver scrap selling shop in my town to ask if they get many coins in. The dealer precedes to pull out at least 75 dollars (melt) in war nickels, 600 dollars worth (melt) of dimes (mercury, barber, roosevelt), 1000 dollars melt worth of quarters, 3000 melt worth of halves, and 15,000 (melt) worth of peace and morgan dollars. Most of these coins were brought in by local folks trying to sell silver for cash, and the guy said I was one of the first to sit down with him and want to look through the coins - which he said he was more than happy to let me do. The only thing he said they do is look at morgans turned for the Carson City mint mark and recommend the sellers go to a coin shop to redeem more worth than the melt value. </p><p><br /></p><p>Long story short, it seems as though this place might be a numismatic gold (well...silver) mine! If I were going to sit down and sort through all of these coins, are there some years I should be on the lookout for? I&#039;m relative new to coin collecting, but I&#039;m addicted none-the-less. Realistically, I&#039;m sure virtually all of the morgans have been sorted through...apparently the owner of the shop has an affinity for them. The dimes, quarters, and halves seem completely un-checked, though. Do you wonderful folks have any recommendations for years I should be keeping an eye out for with any of these coins? I highly doubt I&#039;d find a highly rare coin, but I&#039;m almost positive there are at least a few, relatively numismatically valuable coins in there. If I knew a couple years that tended to be more valuable for each coin type, I might be able to pick up some neat things. Thoughts? Thanks for your time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
