What would you do if...?

What would you do if you can home to this in you’re living room?

I posted this in coin chat, as not everyone is a roll hunter and this answers may vary.

I would set aside a day to search them.

 

Book an intimate hour or so with the local CoinStar machine.

 

I'd re-shape it to look like a Christmas tree

 

I'd be keeping an eye out for Scrooge McDuck to come for a swim...

 

Throw it all in a few buckets and hide them from the world to irritate my kids when I'm gone.

 

put all of it aside for a weekend of coin hunt and chill

 

I'd run my fingers through them over and over and pretend they were all gold coins.

 

Take out the 35% silver war nickels, then pile the rest into a wheelbarrow and head for the nearest bierhaus

 

In nickels? Scrooge ain't no scrub.

 

Some good answers here. Obviously I searched them. Here are the results:

One 1883 is with cents the other without. The with has some unfortunate dings on the reverse that make it a problem coin. It’ll be a good gift for a YN and/or talking piece for my tray at work.


I haven’t searched these for varieties, though I don’t think I saw any 3 leggers. I just roll these 40 at a time and save for later.



I found a total of 101 war nickels (I think the photo is missing a couple). These also go unsearched (meaning no loupe taken to these coins) into rolls. I’ll likely trade/sell these down the road. I believe them being unsearched adds to their value, assuming people believe me.



I only keep 1938-1955 Jefferson’s. Someone pays 7 cents per and likely searches them for varieties and errors.

 

Take individual pictures of each one and start a new thread for each one.

 

Make sure the post only contains a partially focused image with the text, "what do you think?"

 

You just stole best answer from @BooksB4Coins both hilarious!

 

where did you get all the nickles

 

You might not believe this, but they just showed up on my living room floor!

 

and you have no idea how they got there
