If you know about aging paper you'd know that's atleast 5plus years old. I live in Cali my grandfather buries his and digs em up every few years change cloth wraps. As long as it's covered and in a cool dry spot in ground it's safer then your house.
That’s what i thought as well. Seems like it should be more rusted and decayed, right? I’m wondering if he had it wrapped in something else or sealed in a plastic container.
Silverpicker: oh I need a video idea.. **finds old tool box in garage** **rubs some dirt on the box** **puts “old coins” in there** Silverpicker: this is literal buried treasure
The super glossy pennies were probably set on top of a bar and then ballast over with a clear minus turn making a shiny copper penny countertop. That’s why the backs are not glossy at all… This was down a couple times in houses I’ve visited with finished basement bars
Love your videos. However, based on the fact the white envelopes in the box seemed in pristine condition, I think there is 0 percent chance that box was ever in the ground.
As Aidan said below, the approach with the Washington quarter album was to show the P issues' obverse-facing and the same year D ans S mint issues reverse-facing to identify the respective mintmarks. Not strange at all to do that, especially if all examples are of roughly the same overall grade.
I see what he was doing with the Washington quarters, he put the P’s obverse out because they have no mint mark and the D’s and S’s reverse out that’s a cool different way to do it.
I totally agree with you that the box does not look like it had been buried for nearly a decade. I think that he had this box sealed in plastic bags or something because I would have expected a lot more corrosion. I wish I would have asked him. Oh well, the mystery continues. He did say something about the acidity level of his soil, though
A lot of people have been commenting on this and I totally agree. I said the same thing. He mentioned something about the acidity levels in his soil. Also, it's possible he had the box inside some other container. But totally agree that the box is in too good shape to have simply been buried in normal soil as-is for 10 years
@9:43...that well-defined (unworn) expanded rim on the worn Lincoln cent...that's SOOO EASY to explain. The clue: If you look at the lettering on the reverse at the top ...it's right on the rim edge...someone put that worn Lincoln cent into machine that flattened the rim outward...so now the coin is physically smaller than one cent but with a well defined rim. Magic!
Ok. I recently found out that 7 of my 2008 silver eagles where error coins. I'm not sure if it would be better to keep them or sell them for closer to spot price silver.
the coin book -- just a thought: maybe the collector was trying to distinguish the coins he wanted to save and the coins he was looking to replace/upgrade.
That box buried under ground with paper in it and the paper is ok! Now most people would say that there is no way that box was in the ground for 10 years! But if it was buried under a house in a barn in Arizona wrapped in plastic then this could be true! I have a question is the 75% you paid on another video is that silver scrap value, or do you go through the collection and find values like that? Later brocephus! 😎💨
If you notice he only did that with the ones that had a mint mark. I guess it was his way of showing exactly what mint marks he had without having to handle them as often.
@@Silverpicker you should have clarified before making the video all clickbait and shit cuz i know you knew that shit before you dropped the video. this channel sucks. you seem full of shit
I love old coins,and old paper money. There is no telling how much money in old coins I buried an forgot about it playing as a kid. Plus no telling how many old forin coins I have thrown away back then because I thought it was fake lol . Now as I think about it it hurts my feelings. There are alot of pawn shops around where I live that buy old silver dollars,and the silver half dollars. What makes me mad is they only wanna pay you what the coins weigh as far as the silver part goes. Here at a pawn shop it doesn't matter the condition of the dollar coin or date on it. The most they will pay is $15.00 dollar's they say they just send them to melt down. when all that beautiful old money has been melted down there isn't anymore left. That is a part of our history we will never get back.Sad to know what this country is becoming that people are more worried about melting down a part of history to make something else out of it. The original coins are worth more to me than the silver melt down value of it is. What do y'all think? lol
That's what most Pawn Shops do. It costs them to much money and time to research each coin for "numismatic" value vs "melt" value. You have to take them to a "Coin Shop" or "Coin Collector". You have to know what you have or you could sell a coin for 50 or a hundred bucks and it could possibly be worth 10x or more what you sold them for. There are tons of videos on TH-cam and info on the internet that will give you an idea of how much your coins could be worth.
To be honest it's kinda hard for me to believe how you got this. Right away I can see the box has no rubber seal so no matter how tight you have it water will find it's way in and since you said the box has been underground for like 8 years there should be at lest some signs of water damage to the paper esp since that paper is right next to the opening of the box. That so called rust on the latches is just the wear and use of using the box, over time consistent use of those latches would wear out the outer layer then the raw metal exposed to the oxygen causing it to rust, now if it was under ground for 8 years and there was no wear on those latches I'm sure in 8 years with the build of water and such those latches will be completely rusted. Last thing, if you really want people to believe it then you should have taken photos or video recorded the digging stage. That's just my opinion.
You are totally right. After I got a million comments like yours I went back to the seller and asked him for more details. He explained that he meant it was "buried" under sticks and stones hidden under the crawl space of his house--not actually underground.
@@Silverpicker oh then maybe you should have said that. Even if this was fake or not, I am not on of those people to hate cause of it. It was actually fun to see what it had inside.
@@Silverpicker With the moisture most crawl spaces have, again it would rusted and would have still experienced some water intrusion from humidity making its way into an unsealed metal box. Your video, like most coin related videos on TH-cam, is BS, and that is all there is to it.
@@Silverpicker That I might believe if it was dry enough. I've been metal detecting for almost 40 years. I've found quite a few goodies hidden in crawl spaces too.
If that box spent a single day underground then so have I.
Yep. Not airtight, and no signs of any damp on any of the paper. No way was that in the ground at all.
@@Jin-Ro a box itself does not need to be air ight. a box wrapped in oil cloth with moisture absorbent material inside could be used

Ya not only that the dirt has been put/ left there to convince us/ viewers of it's authenticity? Duh- huh !! Won't be subscribe
That box did NOT spend years buried underground where water seeps down into soil.
That’s what i thought as well. Seems like it should be more rusted and decayed, right? I’m wondering if he had it wrapped in something else or sealed in a plastic container.
Silverpicker oooh good save. Everyone believes you. You’re doing great
@@Silverpicker if wrapped but you just showed us the dust
Depends on where it was buried my grandfather had some buried in his barn under the tractor.
@@Silverpicker Then why the dirt on it???
There is nothing better than the sound of silver!
Ain't that the truth!
No water damage? Looks very clean for being buried. The collection is amazing.
Oh yeah oooofffccc doesn’t say what he paid as promised, typical clickbait
NOT CLICKBAIT!
Part 2 dumbass
Yeah watch all parts before you make comments
Silverpicker: oh I need a video idea..
**finds old tool box in garage**
**rubs some dirt on the box**
**puts “old coins” in there**
Silverpicker: this is literal buried treasure
No way that was buried! NO WAY! Dude you just blew all you credibility!
Read the comments. It was “buried” in the crawl space under the house (above ground) covered with rocks
@@Silverpicker so it wasnt buried. you little story teller. i kid you not
2:15 fuck you silverpicker
Omg this video is just straight up epic!!! Thanks for sharing & congrats on all that silver! I love the story behind all of it
LONG ISLAND!!!!
14:40 All the Phillies are face up...He's showing the mint marks over the date.
I like seeing the mint marks more than the date that's really smart
I could watch this 4,100 times.
Hey thanks, Prepper! Much appreciated
This box was buried underground? Was it 100% totally waterproof?
Agreed. No way that was buried for 10 years period unless it was incredible wrapped to keep dirt and water out.
He clearly pointed out the corrosion on a lot of those coins. It was clearly buried and not 100 percent water proof.
at around 6 mins he says that the coin folders were dampened and therefor do not have nice toning
Idk but the paper coin holders aint wet
@@Mrdrivereight But all the paper has stayed untouched!!^^
I love your enthusiasm lots of work
Hey Christ, thanks so much! (Also, been enjoying watching you on Christian's channel!)
The super glossy pennies were probably set on top of a bar and then ballast over with a clear minus turn making a shiny copper penny countertop. That’s why the backs are not glossy at all… This was down a couple times in houses I’ve visited with finished basement bars
Great find, thank you for sharing this with us, well done.🙏🙏🇦🇺
I guess TH-cam recommendations have brought us all back together again

I found my first silver quarter today. It's a 57 D in good shape
Nice find
no water intrusion on a metal case without proper seals? No way. Those paper rolls and papers would've rotted. The coins would've corroded.
Turns out they were actually "buried" under a crawl space under the guy's house, covered with rocks and sticks and such
@@Silverpicker Maybe it was buried under bull shit.
Lol
That be a cool way of getting some coins
What a find, Nice work very exciting.
That's a Porter Cable tool box :-)
Love the video, great find, but if that box spent a decade under ground, I’ll eat it.
I just saw something similar to this silver only out of a dirt basement floor in an 1825 colonial.
That must have been something too! Wow!
You dident say how much you paid for this and you promised
Watch part 2
Silverpicker wow that was a fast replie and just did great videos, and how would I bye this, i saw an eBay link, is that yours or just some random one
If you're interested in making any purchases shoot me an email at thesilverpicker@gmail.com
@@Silverpicker and l promise by the end of the video l will tell you how much l paid.... I lied!!!...ha ha ha...
Silvertongued picker....
Sweeeeeeeet. I always dream of buying a collection like this.
finding it under a house would be even better!
All the people that say this was never buried are just jealous of all that silver
That’s my box I buried that give it back
Hope u r joking lol
I’m sure it is not

thats soo incredible... you finding EXACTLY what your videos are about.. holy.. -.-''
One word... WOW 😮... great story and great coins. I’m so happy it is garage sale season here in New York
You said it Silver Snatcher!
Nice pick
i love eagle cents
Im not saying this is not true but its hard to believe that the paper on the coins isn't decayed. But i guess it could be a water proof box .

The box wasn't buried. Look at the hinge on the back. There is no way. Ive buried things underground before. That will not survive. Period

This was awesome!
no rust?
Of course I'd be interested in anything you have that I could purchase for her collection. Thank you
Nothing left from this, but hopefully I'll get some more soon
Quarters in the reverse are the right year but wrong mint , I do the same in my collection
Ok. I recently found out that 7 of my 2008 silver eagles where error coins. I'm not sure if it would be better to keep them or sell them for closer to spot price silver.
Chris Rock better to get graded and then sell
SIver picker you should cheak the steel cents for 1944s!!!
and the 1943 for copppers
@@jonarbuckle1102 I sub to you you sub to me?
Reverse shoes mint Mark is correct. Coins face up were mostly Phillies
the coin book -- just a thought: maybe the collector was trying to distinguish the coins he wanted to save and the coins he was looking to replace/upgrade.
All the plain quarters have the front but the one with a D or S mint is the back because I think the mints on the back not the front
10 years buried underground the box would be completely rusted shut and everything inside water damaged
I got a 1943 silver quarter and i don't know what to do because it is in uncirculated condition

not even 10 seconds into the video and I'm like, "no it's not." But do I care? NOPE! As you were.
Lol, thank you :)
The 1943 steel cent is very desirable
Definitely to some!
The obverse showing are the mint marked coins
It might have been buried in a wall or a vault but it wasn't buried in dirt or eath.
