Incredible…and I mean mind blowing…to think how many valuable pennies are still out there hidden away in a coin jar or a drawer. It’s fascinating to learn the history of our country’s minting process and mistakes and sought after coins. Great video!
Great video when I was just six years old I started collecting pennies - that’s all I could afford at that time of my age but I have about 50 of those steel pennies - also when we moved to New Mexico I stopped at a coin shop and bought me a poor grade 1856 flying Eagle Penny I still have all these wondering what they’re worth now I’m now 70 years old
Kind of overwhelming how many things to look at that could make a penny valuable, even newer ones. Just seems to me if you find a penny, don't get rid of it. They're just too valuable too take the chance.
I just started looking through my change because my cousin asked me if I do any cherry picking because he has found quite a few coins worth a bit of money. So yesterday I went through my change jar and I found a 1962 D penny, did a little research and found that it can be worth a ton of money in good condition, and the penny I have is in just as good of shape if not better than the one that was shown in a video and it said that penny was the best specimen that has been graded ever!!! I'm kind of at a loss for words really. Need to get it graded ASAP!!!
@@jacobbanta5962 okay, I will check him out. I also have a 1983 d penny and it sounds completely different than any other penny when it's dropped on my dresser. If you know why that's important then you know if it's what I think it is it is also worth a lot of money.
I work the closing shift at a liquor store. Over about the last month or so about 2-3 times a week at the end of the night when I count the register I've been finding 3-7 Wheat pennies. I have a feeling it's an older person whose a day time customer and is using the change they have saved over the years to buy alcohol. I'm not sure if their aware of it, but It's kind of sad as I also find real silver coins and reserve notes that people use to buy alcohol.
@@daddydo17 I am well versed in the minting process, and I can attest that a cent planchet containing double to amount of copper would not even feed into the die press. Is this Joe Biden?
First of all,it’s hard to believe that a “penny”could worth so much money. I have more than thirty wheat pennies, and they are from 1920 something and ups. Hoping they worth some money. Thanks for the video
Wow i watch all these videos on these coins and i cry it kills me inside. My Dad could have left me so very well off taken care of if only it hadn't been for my ex husbands teen age son by his first marriage. My Dad was born in 1900 and before he passed away in 1979 gave me a coffee can full of old coins and bills that he had saved when he was young and saved all those years. They were from the 1800 and early 1900's mostly. I know when my oldest grandson started saving old coins and that about 3 years ago we saw a video that showed just 3 coins i know i had that sold at auction for 3.7 million. Seriously kills me so much inside but watching this thinking i should go through my can of coins especially my really good size collection of pennies.
I'm 77 as a 16 yr old we knew of the 55 double D.We spent a summer getting rolls of pennies from the bank.My friend had one .We all went nuts trying to get one.I found out later he stole it from a coin collectors store.We did get a lot of zinc, and one Indian head but that was it.
So interesting. I have several really old wheat pennies that I've hung onto for years. I'll have to dig them out and see if one of them will bring me luck.
Most times it amazes me greatly the way I move from an average lifestyle to earning over 70k per month, utter shock is the word, I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus
Anyways not actually, what I know about trading almost borders on zilch lol. I make huge profits no my investment since I started trading with Mr James.
While it is good to give info on the coin values, you are unlikely to find a coin worth $100,000 in your change. They would be gem Uncirculated coins. But you can build up values from change, as well as errors and varieties in coin sets.
MY GRANDFATHER back in the 1980's had over 50 U.S. Silver Dollar Coins that were over 170 years old he kept in cigar boxes. My mom asked my father to see if he would sell any of them. My dad didn't even ask because he thought he would never sell them. A few years later we asked about them. I was crying when I found out what my Grandfather had done. He was short of cash one day and took them to the local super market and paid for his groceries at face value. 1 Silver $ coin to use for $1. He gave him all his coins. I bet the cashier retired with those coins.
If this was in the 1980's and they were over 170 years old they would have to have been dated anywhere from 1792 to 1804 as none were minted between the years of 1805 and 1835. At the very minimum, these coins would be with around $100,00 today in the lowest grades, to well over $1 million in higher grades. That is if none were counterfeits
I had one of these close AM 1992 coins. I sold it to a dealer a few years back along with a bunch of other error coins for $25.00. I've been kicking myself since then. Wish I still had it.
I have the 1909 VDB but sadly it’s not an S ! It’s in extremely great condition though! I have 1971 red double mint mark, I thought I’d was able S and D over each other but I’ve not seen anything about it. I have a bunch of the “steel” wheats but not S and a decanter of wheats I have to go thru. 1919,1923. I love looking at the old at the old coins.
My Stepdad (70) had a huge coin collection he had started collecting when he was a kid. He had so many coins, some I'd never seen since. My cousin, who lived next door, got all methed out and broke in and stole the chest of coins. It broke my Stepdad, he never saw his collection again. It was heartbreaking
@@laro64 I hate to hear that. Sometimes thieves just use stolen collector coins as regular money,I have seen plenty of it. Heard of a guy spending silver liberty dollar coins as $1 to buy junk. Sad.
I've held a 1944 steel penny. A guy I worked with had one showed me it and he said he had more. True story. I just was getting into coins at that time and knew it was worth a lot and kept telling him to get it graded. He got it looked at and the guy told him that it'd be worth money but only for the steel and told him a literal, few dollar amount. I know he kept them but I haven't spoken to him in years.
@@carolsykes5683 in 4 weeks no one's replied? What's up with that. In dealing with coins, it'S not the coin, it's always about who has it. Unless you're a big time dealer, or reputable coin shop, you arent going to get the big bucks. It's always going to be done on consignment, graded, and the dealer will get 25 to 40 percent of the take after the IRS.These videos are done by dealers pumping their book, as they say on Wall St.
One more thing. You dont want a super rare coin. They're a headache. You want the ones,that go for 60 to hundred bucks on ebay. On ebay ,when you see sold 1000 dollars,and 1,bid, that's a bs sale, that's one guy listing and his buddy buying. I had an ebay acct for 25 years so I know.
U forgot probably the most expensive and rarest of them all my friend..... the aluminum cents that were struck in 1973/1974. Sadly deemed illegal to own but yeah well over 300k only a handful know to exist. Best regards, great video. 🙌💰🙌💰🙌🤑
I wish I had been interested in this long ago. I’ve seen so many coins that are worth money that I had in my possession and didn’t know and they are gone.
I've seen both when a adolescent but never knew then they'd be worth more than our little brown bags of penny candies we spent them on. Omgoodness wish we'd saved our pennies SHEEZ
I was a restaurant manager in the 80s and it seemed like a lot of people were breaking up coin collections and spending them. Every time I saw something interesting in a cash drawer I'd buy it out. I've got a few rolls of wheat pennies (at least), tin 43s, real silver quarters, silver certificates in 1, 5, 10... I think I even have a $100. Buffalo nickels, Indian head pennies. War money with HAWAII stamped across the back. Misaligned/misprinted paper money. I've got a LOT of coin and paper I haven't looked over in at least 30yrs. Need to have a look!
I have these coin's, I want to sell them.,wheat leaf pennies from 1909 to 1974 a beautiful collection. Probably over a million dollars in wheat leaf pennies.
I have a 1927 brown, Lincoln wheat, no mint mark, everything is legible. I have yet to find anything about it online. 1927 is my dad's date of birth, and I found this coin on the floor at McDonald's shortly after his death in 2017. I feel like dad was sending me a message of helping me. Sentimental value at this point
These types of coins usually were picked up by collectors etc looooong ago. It very unlikely that someone just happened to find these among pocket change. These are people with lots of money initially. My Indian Head Pennies mean something to me, so to me they are worth keeping (of course less I found one to be worth a lot). My Grandfather hence then my Mom had some Cherokee in themselves.
I've found wheat cents in various conditions and a few silver dimes and quarters over the years it's hard to believe cashiers don't spot a silver coin but many may be younger adults not even looking hell they have enough of a challenge when you give them exact change give em a $1.50 in quarters and $1.00 in nickels and $1.00 in dimes separately stacked on counter for their convenience and what does cashier always seem to do ? They scoop them all into a mixed pile and start the slow count one coin at a time ?? But I guess the clean old coins that come in change are coins stolen from parents or friends collections and use to buy candy or cigarettes probably even hammering the plastic coin protectors off the higher denomination coins and popping them out of the cardboard coin books clueless generations !!
Mt great grandfather had a coin collection that was appraised at $350,000. The coins sold at auction and after paying fees, four of us reaped $3,692 each.
A lot of questions arise from this. First, is who appraised them? Was the appraiser a certified grader or just someone who thought they were an expert? Were the coins graded by a reputable top tier grading company? Where the coins auctioned at an auction house that specializes in numismatics, or just a local mom and pop auction house? I love buying rare coins at local auction houses for just pennies on the dollar since chances are I am the only one in the gallery that knows what I am looking at, and the others are bidding because they are just old coins and they are cool.
I watched your video and decided to go over my penny box which sat for years! Well lo and behold, I think I found the 1992 close AM 😱😱😱 Had to replay your vid again and again...Thank you so much for educating us on coin value and great education over all..
It's nice to have a class however it learning a whole new language ...Like any other field of work or collecting ...it takes knowledge , patients and tolerance ...most of all TIME ..thank you for Posting
Got referred to this. So happens also have a co-worker that used to work for the Denver mint for 20+ years & retired about 10+ years ago. You got me. Subbed too. Now I need to pay attention to pocket change. Start by checking what I have even though the majority will only be worth it's stamped value. Might as well check. Not something to go out of your way to spend all your free hours on (unless you have them to burn) but certainly be willing to give your change a look.
How does someone check if what they have is the right one & how would one sell them? I live in a rural area & have collected since I was around 12 yrs old…
I have a 1969 s mint Penny and the man that graded it said it looks like someone polished it? I don't know who did because I had just found it in my change from Safeway. He also wanted to buy it from me but I said no. What if someone did polish it why would that matter? He also wanted to buy my 1914 d mint Buffalo head nickel in mint condition too and I said no. I didn't trust the man so I'll take them to another place to get them checked out! Well wait until I bring in the 1969 d mint Penny I have. I'll let you know what they say! God bless you and thank you for sharing your knowledge and coins with us!💲
I have the 1955 and the AM but there circulated and keep them in a penny roll with others. Even 1 that was hey Miss struck which shows the face more towards the right and the left side is smooth blank
Coin collecting is an excellent and interesting hobby. Thinking you'll get rich collecting coins is foolish and a damaging idea to spread. You're better off playing the lottery or practicing basketball everyday thinking you'll get to the NBA. Work hard, invest wisely, live below your means and producing wealth is easy, especially in the USA.
I agree 100%! If you enjoy coin roll hunting, treasure hunting and coin collecting as a hobby, increase your knowledge and learn to identify rare coins. If you think searching coins is a viable retirement plan, you're going to be very disappointed. If you're serious about retirement and being financially secure I recommend reading Total Money Make Over by Dave Ramsey. That book changed my life and was required reading for my kids. Start a 401k and IRA as soon as you can and put money in them every time you get paid.
I'm not a collector but I have a 2000 penny with the A&M touching at the bottom and I have a 1984 penny that made circulation without being copper coated. Any idea what they might be worth?
Someone with some tech sav could probably set up a conveyer that runs pennies through scanners that look for rare coins. Buy a bunch from the bank, scan them, sell the boring ones back, rinse and repeat.
Sir I have red red brown and 55. 40s 99 red 65 red or brown, I know I have some good ones I took a look .any way I don't know nothing about could you help .this 98 yr old lady gave to me
I just want to say that I'm looking at this site and listening to what you're saying about these pennies well I have a 1944 penny not copper and it has the S on it and it has the wreaths on the back how much would that be worth in today's market for vintage coins
In my coins for kids book by Kevin Paul it said that steel pennies were made from 1943 to 1946. I'm not sure if this is any error or something. I also heard about some silver pennies.
Hi 16cyborg, There could be silver plated pennies but they would be novelties. There were no silver lincoln cents. 1943 Zinc Coated Steel Pennies have been referred to as silver pennies, but they're not silver. The zinc coated steel cents were only produced in 1943 with the exception of some of the wrong planchet errors I mentioned. If you have the book handy and you have a few minutes I would like to see the context of the information you provided if you don't mind taking a pic and emailing it to mintmiser@mintmiser.com. Thanks for the additional information! Miser
The 1992 close AM cent was produced by the mint using dies that were intended for the proof coin and not the circulation strike. Thus the the opposite error occurred on some of the proof cent's with the wide AM proof cent
Thanks for the detailed information @silverseaher64! I made a more detailed Wide and Close AM video that you can check out here th-cam.com/video/JY_54OOIqCY/w-d-xo.html
I'm not a collector, but I noticed that a 1991 D penny I got has a smaller bust of Lincoln, and I was wondering why? Another odd thing is finding a 1916 penny in my change last week. I figured those would be long out of circulation :)
I found a 1901 wheat back penny a few years back round of giving it to my stepdad for his collection but I went and actually got it evaluated the coin shop that I took it to they wouldn't give me more than a dollar for it when it was worth a lot more so it's kind of crooked if you don't know anyone personally to go through or if you of course just get lucky enough to find one of those rare collectors that will really go for it which is like almost as likely as winning the lottery
@@jamesfortune7118 No you didn't. The Wheat cents were not minted until 1909. If it was a 1901 average circulated Indian head cent then $1 would have been a more than fair price for it.
Are you a white person??? You might get a few bucks, while they make millions. It's the way it is and have always been if you ain't white you are just a piece of dog crap. I was going through over 80 thousand very very old foreign postage stamps , I would see photos of white m e m and women holding postage stamps 300 1million they got for stamps I know for a fact I have the same and more very rare and valueable, but our stamps are only worth 20 20 dollars. That's what they say they are only common stamps but they would pay 20 dollars for them.
I got a 1958 d wheat penny today n change and the E on the CENT on the back is way over stamped and u can really tell it I'll upload a video of it marra
Canada got rid of the penny. Any purchase is rounded to the nearest nickel. The bills are now plastic. I learned in Taiwan the banks sterilize cash money everyday (UV). Look at their covid numbers. Taiwan vs other countries, it's an eye opener. Excellent tutorial!

I found a 1978 Double headed Washington quarter. How do I find out if it's real and how much it is worth?
I just started looking through my change because my cousin asked me if I do any cherry picking because he has found quite a few coins worth a bit of money. So yesterday I went through my change jar and I found a 1962 D penny, did a little research and found that it can be worth a ton of money in good condition, and the penny I have is in just as good of shape if not better than the one that was shown in a video and it said that penny was the best specimen that has been graded ever!!! I'm kind of at a loss for words really. Need to get it graded ASAP!!!
@@jacobbanta5962 okay, I will check him out. I also have a 1983 d penny and it sounds completely different than any other penny when it's dropped on my dresser. If you know why that's important then you know if it's what I think it is it is also worth a lot of money.
Just recently, my change from Zaxbys was a silver note dollar bill, I liked to have fell over, now I have 3!
That's what I thought mine was 1062 d but she still told me face value and that made me sad.
With a mintage of almost 1.8 BILLION, the 1962D Cent (page 118 in my 2009 Yeoman coin book) is probably worth less than $1.
@@lisamurray4622 1062 d ???
I've got a 1918 wheat penny.
Got it at the butcher shop when I bought a home in Virginia.
I got a 1909 wheat penny for 4 cents
I work the closing shift at a liquor store. Over about the last month or so about 2-3 times a week at the end of the night when I count the register I've been finding 3-7 Wheat pennies. I have a feeling it's an older person whose a day time customer and is using the change they have saved over the years to buy alcohol. I'm not sure if their aware of it, but It's kind of sad as I also find real silver coins and reserve notes that people use to buy alcohol.
I was looking through my coins and found a extremely red penny. Turns out it has double the copper never circulated
Turns out that is not possible. It is either 95% copper if struck before 1982, or copper plated. it is not possible for it to have double the copper.
No, that is not true. Is this Donald Trump?
@@daddydo17 I am well versed in the minting process, and I can attest that a cent planchet containing double to amount of copper would not even feed into the die press. Is this Joe Biden?
First of all,it’s hard to believe that a “penny”could worth so much money. I have more than thirty wheat pennies, and they are from 1920 something and ups. Hoping they worth some money. Thanks for the video
Have them graded are they "pretty" or circulated matters but the 43' 55 ' 69's mint mark 26's flying eagle or 1909
Wow i watch all these videos on these coins and i cry it kills me inside. My Dad could have left me so very well off taken care of if only it hadn't been for my ex husbands teen age son by his first marriage. My Dad was born in 1900 and before he passed away in 1979 gave me a coffee can full of old coins and bills that he had saved when he was young and saved all those years. They were from the 1800 and early 1900's mostly. I know when my oldest grandson started saving old coins and that about 3 years ago we saw a video that showed just 3 coins i know i had that sold at auction for 3.7 million. Seriously kills me so much inside but watching this thinking i should go through my can of coins especially my really good size collection of pennies.
Dang it. We could have shared the wealth together.
I'm 77 as a 16 yr old we knew of the 55 double D.We spent a summer getting rolls of pennies from the bank.My friend had one .We all went nuts trying to get one.I found out later he stole it from a coin collectors store.We did get a lot of zinc, and one Indian head but that was it.
So interesting. I have several really old wheat pennies that I've hung onto for years. I'll have to dig them out and see if one of them will bring me luck.
Hey guys, I don't know anything about investment or crypto , and I'm looking forward to invest, any help? Or who can I reach out to?
I do see it that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status.
Most times it amazes me greatly the way I move from an average lifestyle to earning over 70k per month, utter shock is the word, I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities abound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus
Wow, that's more than a mouthful of profits you're making. How do you achieve this feat consistently? You must be a genius in trading.
Anyways not actually, what I know about trading almost borders on zilch lol. I make huge profits no my investment since I started trading with Mr James.
His trading strategies are top notch coupled with the little commission he charges on his trade.
While it is good to give info on the coin values, you are unlikely to find a coin worth $100,000 in your change. They would be gem Uncirculated coins. But you can build up values from change, as well as errors and varieties in coin sets.
I have a error dime .one like it sold for 14 k at auction. I can't even get one thousand on eBay. Cashing in. Is an art .
or just YT entertainment
MY GRANDFATHER back in the 1980's had over 50 U.S. Silver Dollar Coins that were over 170 years old he kept in cigar boxes. My mom asked my father to see if he would sell any of them. My dad didn't even ask because he thought he would never sell them. A few years later we asked about them. I was crying when I found out what my Grandfather had done. He was short of cash one day and took them to the local super market and paid for his groceries at face value. 1 Silver $ coin to use for $1. He gave him all his coins. I bet the cashier retired with those coins.
I knew a lady who had pennies and random coins saved. Her drunk bf took them and bought a bottle of cheap vodka with them
If this was in the 1980's and they were over 170 years old they would have to have been dated anywhere from 1792 to 1804 as none were minted between the years of 1805 and 1835. At the very minimum, these coins would be with around $100,00 today in the lowest grades, to well over $1 million in higher grades. That is if none were counterfeits
This is a very good video that summarizes the opportunity this hobby provides. Thank you Mint Miser
Now I know why my buddy is always digging through pennies
I had one of these close AM 1992 coins. I sold it to a dealer a few years back along with a bunch of other error coins for $25.00. I've been kicking myself since then. Wish I still had it.
I have the 1909 VDB but sadly it’s not an S ! It’s in extremely great condition though! I have 1971 red double mint mark, I thought I’d was able S and D over each other but I’ve not seen anything about it. I have a bunch of the “steel” wheats but not S and a decanter of wheats I have to go thru. 1919,1923. I love looking at the old at the old coins.
A Collector: my kind of girl!
I never knew pennies could potentially be so valuable.
I have a 1909 S VDB. I'd like to see a pic of yours
1945 Mercury dime
My Stepdad (70) had a huge coin collection he had started collecting when he was a kid. He had so many coins, some I'd never seen since. My cousin, who lived next door, got all methed out and broke in and stole the chest of coins. It broke my Stepdad, he never saw his collection again. It was heartbreaking
That’s horrible.
@@laro64 I hate to hear that. Sometimes thieves just use stolen collector coins as regular money,I have seen plenty of it. Heard of a guy spending silver liberty dollar coins as $1 to buy junk. Sad.
Oh man, that is horrible to hear!!
so if you suspect that you have one of these rare coins, what do you suggest as a next step? How can you tell a reputable dealer from a bad one?
Also interested in this question.
Good question
Me too
I learn something new every day. Thanks for sharing your insight. Much appreciated!
Have a1926 wheat penny also have penny with close Am where can I sell them
Thank you for this information I'm just learning about coins collection.
Just getting into coins. Didnt realize they were so rare or could be worth so much. Got a new subscriber. Was fun to watch. Great video
I've held a 1944 steel penny. A guy I worked with had one showed me it and he said he had more. True story. I just was getting into coins at that time and knew it was worth a lot and kept telling him to get it graded. He got it looked at and the guy told him that it'd be worth money but only for the steel and told him a literal, few dollar amount. I know he kept them but I haven't spoken to him in years.
I have that in 43 44 45 and 46 and they aren't worth anything but the original 1943 copper penny is worth a cool Mil.
I have a 43 copper penny where can I get it graded
@@carolsykes5683 in 4 weeks no one's replied? What's up with that. In dealing with coins, it'S not the coin, it's always about who has it. Unless you're a big time dealer, or reputable coin shop, you arent going to get the big bucks. It's always going to be done on consignment, graded, and the dealer will get 25 to 40 percent of the take after the IRS.These videos are done by dealers pumping their book, as they say on Wall St.
One more thing. You dont want a super rare coin. They're a headache. You want the ones,that go for 60 to hundred bucks on ebay. On ebay ,when you see sold 1000 dollars,and 1,bid, that's a bs sale, that's one guy listing and his buddy buying. I had an ebay acct for 25 years so I know.
That do that to try to establish a value. I've seen it done with records and Gillette razors.
I have a machine doubled 1955 :( I was so bummed to find out it was not a true DD. It's toned though so it has to be worth a few bucks.
U forgot probably the most expensive and rarest of them all my friend..... the aluminum cents that were struck in 1973/1974. Sadly deemed illegal to own but yeah well over 300k only a handful know to exist. Best regards, great video. 🙌💰🙌💰🙌🤑
I have some of those to
It is only illegal to own because it is mint property, so if you had one, you would be charged with receiving stolen goods etc.
@@Gumardee_coins_and_banknotes That's when you find a collector direct then ask a mint.

What's the use in keeping a coin that you can't sell?
Is there any way around not getting in trouble for having them?
I am glad I found this video the way u explain everything.good info.Thank you
Hi , can you tell me the price on the steel pennies, 1944 S? thanks
I wish I had been interested in this long ago. I’ve seen so many coins that are worth money that I had in my possession and didn’t know and they are gone.
I've seen both when a adolescent but never knew then they'd be worth more than our little brown bags of penny candies we spent them on. Omgoodness wish we'd saved our pennies SHEEZ
I remember brown bags of penny candy. It's been a little while. Can't even buy one candy with a penny these days.
I was a restaurant manager in the 80s and it seemed like a lot of people were breaking up coin collections and spending them. Every time I saw something interesting in a cash drawer I'd buy it out. I've got a few rolls of wheat pennies (at least), tin 43s, real silver quarters, silver certificates in 1, 5, 10... I think I even have a $100. Buffalo nickels, Indian head pennies. War money with HAWAII stamped across the back. Misaligned/misprinted paper money. I've got a LOT of coin and paper I haven't looked over in at least 30yrs. Need to have a look!
And if you wanted to sell it, who do you go to or how do you advertise your coin
@@3o5maniak indeed
@@RobKMusic yes yes
I opened a penny roll today and found a Queen Elizabeth I I Canadian penny in the US penny roll. Of course I am keeping it.
Is the 1943 all copper penny the only valuable year? What about other years?
I have a 1954 S nickel.
Only around 55,000,000 of them were ever made.
I have these coin's, I want to sell them.,wheat leaf pennies from 1909 to 1974 a beautiful collection. Probably over a million dollars in wheat leaf pennies.
bullshit
I have ONE CENTY P 2017
I have 2 water cooler jugs full of pennies I’m about to start digging through 😂
Why is the 1909 S VDB more expensive than a 1909 P VDB or a 1909 D VDB?
I have a 1927 brown, Lincoln wheat, no mint mark, everything is legible. I have yet to find anything about it online.
1927 is my dad's date of birth, and I found this coin on the floor at McDonald's shortly after his death in 2017. I feel like dad was sending me a message of helping me.
Sentimental value at this point
Very enlightening. I seldom look at my collection but will from now forward.
These types of coins usually were picked up by collectors etc looooong ago. It very unlikely that someone just happened to find these among pocket change. These are people with lots of money initially. My Indian Head Pennies mean something to me, so to me they are worth keeping (of course less I found one to be worth a lot). My Grandfather hence then my Mom had some Cherokee in themselves.
How would someone find a rare coin that's been in circulation for over thirty years in near mint condition. In pocket change?
Exactly if it's in your pocket the pocket is worth more than the coin, I save them anyway I don't know why
Notice all the coins showed is in a sealed case and highly grated
I've found wheat cents in various conditions and a few silver dimes and quarters over the years it's hard to believe cashiers don't spot a silver coin but many may be younger adults not even looking hell they have enough of a challenge when you give them exact change give em a $1.50 in quarters and $1.00 in nickels and $1.00 in dimes separately stacked on counter for their convenience and what does cashier always seem to do ? They scoop them all into a mixed pile and start the slow count one coin at a time ?? But I guess the clean old coins that come in change are coins stolen from parents or friends collections and use to buy candy or cigarettes probably even hammering the plastic coin protectors off the higher denomination coins and popping them out of the cardboard coin books clueless generations !!
fun fact....you could also retire on one hundred million regular pennies
Nice work! I knew about most of these but it was really cool to hear about all of them in one video with well researched details.
@@None-685 Sorry, never heard of such a thing.
What is the place to take them and sell them
Mt great grandfather had a coin collection that was appraised at $350,000. The coins sold at auction and after paying fees, four of us reaped $3,692 each.
I don't think he would have wanted that outcome without a story with what YOU did with your inheritance for the good 🧐
A lot of questions arise from this. First, is who appraised them? Was the appraiser a certified grader or just someone who thought they were an expert? Were the coins graded by a reputable top tier grading company? Where the coins auctioned at an auction house that specializes in numismatics, or just a local mom and pop auction house? I love buying rare coins at local auction houses for just pennies on the dollar since chances are I am the only one in the gallery that knows what I am looking at, and the others are bidding because they are just old coins and they are cool.
That math doesn’t work
I watched your video and decided to go over my penny box which sat for years! Well lo and behold, I think I found the 1992 close AM 😱😱😱 Had to replay your vid again and again...Thank you so much for educating us on coin value and great education over all..
I’m glad my information helped you! Congratulations on your find and thank you!

It's nice to have a class however it learning a whole new language ...Like any other field of work or collecting ...it takes knowledge , patients and tolerance ...most of all TIME ..thank you for Posting
Got referred to this. So happens also have a co-worker that used to work for the Denver mint for 20+ years & retired about 10+ years ago.
You got me. Subbed too. Now I need to pay attention to pocket change. Start by checking what I have even though the majority will only be worth it's stamped value. Might as well check.
Not something to go out of your way to spend all your free hours on (unless you have them to burn) but certainly be willing to give your change a look.
Welcome and thank you. You’re 100% correct!!
How does someone check if what they have is the right one & how would one sell them? I live in a rural area & have collected since I was around 12 yrs old…
I have 4 gas station attendees now 🏴☠️🤘🥷🥷🥷🥷 keeping an eye on the till 😜❤♻️🇺🇸 love these videos! Thanks bud!
I have a 1969 s mint Penny and the man that graded it said it looks like someone polished it? I don't know who did because I had just found it in my change from Safeway. He also wanted to buy it from me but I said no. What if someone did polish it why would that matter? He also wanted to buy my 1914 d mint Buffalo head nickel in mint condition too and I said no. I didn't trust the man so I'll take them to another place to get them checked out! Well wait until I bring in the 1969 d mint Penny I have. I'll let you know what they say! God bless you and thank you for sharing your knowledge and coins with us!💲
So you telling me you owe me so money so basically part of that money belongs to me
When I was a little girl I got a 1955 double impression in some change. My dad collected coins and told me I hit the jackpot!
IF you could go back in time to those mint prominent years I would check under the cushions of my sofa ,that's where the treasure coins would be 🙂
I have the 1955 and the AM but there circulated and keep them in a penny roll with others. Even 1 that was hey Miss struck which shows the face more towards the right and the left side is smooth blank
Coin collecting is an excellent and interesting hobby. Thinking you'll get rich collecting coins is foolish and a damaging idea to spread. You're better off playing the lottery or practicing basketball everyday thinking you'll get to the NBA. Work hard, invest wisely, live below your means and producing wealth is easy, especially in the USA.
I agree 100%! If you enjoy coin roll hunting, treasure hunting and coin collecting as a hobby, increase your knowledge and learn to identify rare coins. If you think searching coins is a viable retirement plan, you're going to be very disappointed. If you're serious about retirement and being financially secure I recommend reading Total Money Make Over by Dave Ramsey. That book changed my life and was required reading for my kids. Start a 401k and IRA as soon as you can and put money in them every time you get paid.
I’m sitting on some of these how would I get into looking up someone that knows what to do with them

In my coins for kids book by Kevin Paul it said that steel pennies were made from 1943 to 1946. I'm not sure if this is any error or something. I also heard about some silver pennies.
Hi 16cyborg, There could be silver plated pennies but they would be novelties. There were no silver lincoln cents. 1943 Zinc Coated Steel Pennies have been referred to as silver pennies, but they're not silver. The zinc coated steel cents were only produced in 1943 with the exception of some of the wrong planchet errors I mentioned. If you have the book handy and you have a few minutes I would like to see the context of the information you provided if you don't mind taking a pic and emailing it to mintmiser@mintmiser.com.

Where can you go in North Carolina to sell your coins?
The 1992 close AM cent was produced by the mint using dies that were intended for the proof coin and not the circulation strike. Thus the the opposite error occurred on some of the proof cent's with the wide AM proof cent

I found a 1901 wheat back penny a few years back round of giving it to my stepdad for his collection but I went and actually got it evaluated the coin shop that I took it to they wouldn't give me more than a dollar for it when it was worth a lot more so it's kind of crooked if you don't know anyone personally to go through or if you of course just get lucky enough to find one of those rare collectors that will really go for it which is like almost as likely as winning the lottery
