Me too, I’m a 14 year old coin collector and love your tips! I have a large collection, not just a kid collection, I inherited a lot from my grandfather and it reminds me of him. There isn’t much videos like this on TH-cam but I would most certainly pay 10 dollars for that set of items.
Aiden Grabowski hey i’m a 13 year old collector! i also have a fairly large collection, mostly foreign things. do you have an instagram so we could chat about numismatics sometime?
S.Picker, my wife loves estate sales. Last year she came home from one and said they had a lot of jewelry making stuff, beads, clasps, chains, etc. Then she showed me a bag that she said looked like some kind of nuggets. Well it turned out to be 9 oz. of 14K gold casting grains, what jewelers use to cast bezels, bracelets, etc. She paid 10 bucks for a mixed bag of stuff and the casting grains had about $6,500 melt value, That's My Girl ! ! !
Yeah, I was in shock when I took it to a rock hound friend and he tested it, talk about a 1000 to 1 ROI ! ! ! Needless to say I took my wife out for a Lobster dinner. She is One in a Million.
That first guy, someone that sneaky, I would not do business with them. I'm strongly against people who bait new collectors with garbage just to make a buck. When they are well aware the stuff they are selling is trash. You did well with the 2nd place. Happy Yardsaling!
I feel the same way. He tried to rip off a few ladies and I butted in and told them not to buy it. The seller said that a bowl was sterling silver, but it was marked E.P.
there is a market every year in my town and one guy tried to sell me collection worth abou 4 bucks for 80 dollars. i just walked away and got an amazing grab bag for 8 bucks with coins for 40
I would 100% buy that set. When I lived in Germany i would travel to other countries and collect a full set of bills and coins from each country. Nice haul!!
@@Silverpicker right now I just moved to my new house, so no display besides the Euro coins. I have a big book for them. The other ones are currently in baggies. The bills are all in protective sleeves by country in a binder
I have to agree with going to every garage sale. Its so important that if you are going to go to sales, to never write them off as junk. The only ones I write off by sight alone are furniture only sales (we have alot of that in this area). I always look for coins, video games and most importantly older Magic: The Gathering cards.
Yeah! I do as well, but they arent my primary. Its hard to really find cards that are a good condition for pokemon because kids handle cards different than the teens/adults that magic appealed too.
Believe it or not, I've been playing mtg since 1995! I have only once found mtg cards at a garage sale, but it was amazing. I got a ton of old school cards including 3 pack fresh revised duals
@@Silverpicker That is incredible. I would love to have revised duals. They are the only ones I need for my commander deck. I always hope to find them in old bulk.
$10 and some ,love world coins ,that is one way to learn about the world .I do like your US and Canadian coins .You are becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs. Thanks for showing.
#9:54 You can still redeem SOME pre-Euro moneys for Euros in several western European countries (Germany and Austria are two of them).#10:12 Austria (German speaking country). #11:58 Many coin dealers sell a pound (weight) of foreign coins (usually pre-Euro for European coins) for around $10 - $15. The Canadian coins are worth 75 Cents to the American Dollar Your purchase is well worth it. If something like that was around my "hood," i'd "do it!" -- Happy Pickin's! 8^D
It astonishes me that people dont bother to investigate coins before selling them at a garage sale... That was a sweet steal..... Awesome! I never find coins at sales in my area...
i would *100%* buy that. Also, where I live, we have an annual event where everyone in the neighbourhood has a garage sale SIMULTANEOUSLY!! Its always fun to visit all of them and get some coins and stuff
Technically Harry S Truman's middle initial shouldn't have a dot after it since he has no middle name, only a middle initial. You learn something new every day :)
Luke, Atta boy! Most people DO NOT know that fact! I learned it on the history channel a few years back,yes, try to learn something new everyday! Just watching Jeopardy is a great place to pick stuff up! Stay vigilant friend,it's getting nuts out there anymore!
I would have paid the $10 just for the adventure to see what you got when you got home. It was good fun and well worth the money. And you got stuff from all over the world, how cool.
Once you get enough foreigns, you can start selling them by half pound bags too to get some value out of obsolete coins you don’t want to keep for yourself.
The Lincoln portrait is very cool. Can't wait to get mine completed. I think I'll end up mounting mine on plywood as well. Was wondering about how to evenly distribute the weight for display. Thanks for the great video and congrats on your finds!
I have just started watching your channel. Just over the last cpl months I have started collecting coins. This was a nice find. I am hoping to get me a silver coin from the 1890’s. Time will tell. Thx for sharing.
I just found out those pre-Euro German Marks you can exchange for Euros (2 marks for 1 euro) at the bank in Germany. I went to a garage sale last month, found a collection of modern-ish foreign currency in a jar and there was a 200, a 50 and two 20's Mark bills, and I looked it up. $145 Euro value! The best part was I offered $40 for the whole jar of coins and bills because i didn't know the marks had any value, and she insisted i just take it because she had no use for it, i tried to insist I at least give her $20, but she said no so i got it for free!
@@Silverpicker you can still exchange it at a bank for 50%in euro so its closer to 8-9$ and u have at least 6 more mark in coins. in usd it is easy 13$ in old german mark
This is why I can’t hit up garage sales (on top of the fact that I’d be buying up all the football cards and certain brands of magazines I could (vintage sports illustrated etc)) id be spending money on money! Great video man keep up the good work!
Silverpicker Those hungarian bills have been renewed in 1998 with completely new size, colour and pattern. Nowdays you can buy these bills on multiple price of the face value. A bill in bad shape worth at least two times. The thousand note in that shape can worth $10-20 also the five hundred at least $10. The two hundred bill has changed for coin, max worth 1$.
My sons, both in military, save all their money from foreign visits and keep them in envelopes for their "Jason Bourne" case for whenever they go back to that region. Fun to see all those coins and bills from al over the world.
Went to the Czech Republic this summer and they have the coolest looking people on their bills. They all look like medieval wizards and warlocks. Kept a bunch of the smaller ones. They also have a huge Vietnamese population who mostly own convenience stores and stuff. Was so funny to go in there and watch their faces seeing a rando white guy speaking to them in Vietnamese xD Solid haul man!
Nice find! But, how do you find these type of sales? Everytime I look online or go to garage sales its overpriced or at retail. Do you use any special sites or do you just live in an area that has these good sales?
You have to hit a lot of sales and get lucky...I bought a gold ring last year at a table top sale right towards the end of the day that other people had looked at and left behind so I was expecting either it was a fake or they were asking retail but it had full hallmarks for 9kt gold and was only £10 ($12-13)...I pulled the CZs out and sent it to my refinery for £17
Called my local coin place wanting four Half Crowns, price £4. Nice price a little over spot but not too much, got there £4 for all four! Should have been £13.68 just at spot. Anyway the Jersey 50p could well bring $5 on fleabay
Amazing. All most don't believe you. I have gone to over 1000 garage sales in the last year alone and found only a few buffalo nickels and 40 dollars of wheat pennys.
11:42, the women came here to jersey at some point. She has one of are 50p coins that are not legal tender in the UK. I hope she enjoyed it over here Also the way you said bailiwick is so funny, also you should come and visit some time, all of our coins have designs that are landscapes of land marks around the island. There pretty cool
yo i watch a lot of your videos wile i stoned af and not gonna lie that compressor that starts going off in the background was freaking me the fuck out because i thought someone was in my garage lmfao
You really undervalued a lot of things in the video. West german marks can be exchanged for euros (both coins and banknotes), so those banknotes are worth like $8 for example. But those hungarian banknotes are definitely not worth that much. That was a really great deal.
Excellent lick for $10! Will be watching this channel, buy what YOU like I always tell people,but go at it being informed,MANY unscrupulous sellers out there! If it seems too good to be true,it probably is!
when they ask you if there is anything in particular you're looking for you must tell them,sometimes they go digging around in the house and let stuff go cheap
I would definitely buy this for $10 because I love collecting world coins and American coins and also I only have a couple foreign bills in my collection so I will definitely buy this for 10 buck
I come from the UK it's nice to see that you have never seen a baliwick of Jersey coin before. Btw it's pronounced like the name bailey-wick it's weird to pronounce. I saw the penny's and 50p and 20p nd another 50p. My favourite coin there is the last one you showed with all the different design of coins on it from the United States mint.
@@Silverpicker that's okay. I'm glad you replied. Have you heard of a youtuber who also collects coins called christopher collects. He's a great youtuber and he is subscribed to you
First time I saw your video. Nice. I don't travel but I would have paid $10. Its like getting souveneers without traveling, jet lag, no cost. And some looked really cool. I aquired some foreign currency from where I used to work. [Russia China, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa to name a few.]
The sister of a friend of mine went to a garage sale in New Hampshire and bought a tin box with metals, Coins & buttons etc. Inside was a 1776 PEWTER COIN with the 13 colonies on it. It had only one ( R ) in the word Continental (Curency). My friend wanted to give it to me. I had to tell him what he had. I think a good one right now is worth about $8000.00.
You have some Two Pence coins from the U.K. Check if any of them are a 1983 "New Pence", If so you have a mint error 2p coin The 2p coins should be :- 1971 to 1981 "New Pence" From 1982 "Two Pence".
So very true, 2 years ago I drove from Colorado to Florida to spend Christmas with my brother from another, who is also my best pickin buddy.and his lovely bride. They had just moved down there from Colo within a few months of my visit. Long to short, we hit up some yard sales in an area unfamiliar to him and they happened to be in a really bad meth part of Tampa. Learning curve achieved and a little disappointed , we decided to call it beer 30. On the way out of this neighborhood there was one sale left and you could see it was being put on by two little ladies (Widows )and definitely not the crack head types. Although it looked like a ladies sale of knick knacks, clothing, tupper.....etc. I made him stop, he humored me, but did get out to look. Well that day, I ended up with a Smith Wesson collection of 7 pistols all different calibers for $390. I offered more but they wanted them out of the house. Its true, if one puts forth the effort, sometimes that effort will get rewarded in spades. Sorry about the novel.
I don't even travel and I'd pay ten bucks for that lot. Was a cashier for a major grocery chain in the mid-atlantic and have a lot of forgien coins that I found whild working. And the coinstar machine was right near my station and I use to pick up all the rejects too.
@@Silverpicker Yes I did. Unfortunately I had to sell all the silver I had gotten but luckily it was about ten years ago when silver was worth a lot more than it is now.
That jersey 50p is not technically legal tender in the UK but you can't tell them apart from the UK ones without close examination. I find one non-uk coin roughly every few months.
What part of the country do you live in? I would have sworn you were driving around some of the streets around here in NW Illinois. I have NEVER, however, found any noteworthy coins for purchase at garage sales here. There was one house one time, and it was the situation where the old man had every coin individually marked based off of a silver price of about $25/oz, apparently.
Nope, this was in Central New Jersey. I hate when people know enough to realize their coins are valuable, but not enough to realize that they are WAY overpricing their coins
@@Silverpicker ah yeah, that makes sense, it was the rows of those nice little Cape Cod houses that looked like my town. As far as the overvaluing, I've been saying for years that it's a result of shows like Pawn Stars and American Pickers. Everyone thinks their junk is rare collectibles. Of course, I suppose Antiques roadshow was doing the same thing well before then.
I love how you always have the value and what you paid for it
Ya, that's fairly new for me but I see how much people like it, so now I'm gonna do it for nearly all my videos
What is your source for the coin and bank note values?
@@Silverpicker keep it up love it!
Me too, I’m a 14 year old coin collector and love your tips! I have a large collection, not just a kid collection, I inherited a lot from my grandfather and it reminds me of him. There isn’t much videos like this on TH-cam but I would most certainly pay 10 dollars for that set of items.

Great job. You've created a channel that is far more than just roll hunting. There's education and conversation. Well done.

Thanks!! Good luck!
This looks like so much fun to go through. Great video! I would definitely pay $10 for all that!

That's pretty sweet. Ever find anything good in there?
@@Silverpicker Yeah. 1800's coins and weird stuff you never see. They closed for good earlier this year after 40 years or so.

Really glad to hear you're learning!! Hope you are successful in your hunts!
Great video!! Yes I like how you always do the value and cost comparison!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Went to the Czech Republic this summer and they have the coolest looking people on their bills. They all look like medieval wizards and warlocks. Kept a bunch of the smaller ones. They also have a huge Vietnamese population who mostly own convenience stores and stuff. Was so funny to go in there and watch their faces seeing a rando white guy speaking to them in Vietnamese xD Solid haul man!
Lol that's awesome!
Yes, Good Deal
Nice find! But, how do you find these type of sales? Everytime I look online or go to garage sales its overpriced or at retail. Do you use any special sites or do you just live in an area that has these good sales?
I use craigslist to find the sales, but it's really more about going to a lot of sales and consistently going every week
You have to hit a lot of sales and get lucky...I bought a gold ring last year at a table top sale right towards the end of the day that other people had looked at and left behind so I was expecting either it was a fake or they were asking retail but it had full hallmarks for 9kt gold and was only £10 ($12-13)...I pulled the CZs out and sent it to my refinery for £17
Wow really amazing video about Coins and Silver!!! :D
Thanks!!

And
I hit 441 Subscribers!!!

Finally I’ve found it, Old Jersey
Awesome find at a yard sale!!! Yes I would definitely give 10 dollars for all of them
Thanks!
If you like that mint medal, you can get a 3 inch one from the mint. I have one.
very nice video and very nice deal with those coins and currencies!
Thank you!
Ahaha always nice to see old italian coins making their way to the us :D
What a great find! :)
You have almost $10 just in the Japanese yen. This is a steal. The random shrapnel would make a great gift for children.
Wish we were there. Thanks for sharing this.
Definitely Yes
I think it was worth it. Very nice!
Called my local coin place wanting four Half Crowns, price £4. Nice price a little over spot but not too much, got there £4 for all four! Should have been £13.68 just at spot.
Anyway the Jersey 50p could well bring $5 on fleabay
Amazing. All most don't believe you. I have gone to over 1000 garage sales in the last year alone and found only a few buffalo nickels and 40 dollars of wheat pennys.
Not sure what to say. I've lived in three states and hit over 1k sales over the years as well and I've bought literally dozens of coin collections
11:42, the women came here to jersey at some point. She has one of are 50p coins that are not legal tender in the UK. I hope she enjoyed it over here

Right, it's just a lot of fun
Cool finds

Yep, definitely a low stakes investment
I will pay 10 bucks for it I love collecting foreign currency and coins I love this video and you silver picker ♥♥★★

As a collector of Japanese currency who has no notes.... I envy your awesome find!
THANK YOU!!
You have some Two Pence coins from the U.K. Check if any of them are a 1983 "New Pence", If so you have a mint error 2p coin
The 2p coins should be :- 1971 to 1981 "New Pence" From 1982 "Two Pence".
great profit and great video .Also they Changed the design of the Chinese coins recently on August 30,2019
Thanks for the heads up! I'll check it out!
This was great. Reminded me of garage sales I used to go to as a kid in Buffalo. Where were these garage sales?
These were somewhere in New Jersey, I believe (though now I can't actually remember lol)
silver picker good one 😍😍👍👍🇮🇳🇮🇳
I'd pay that for the paper only! Coins would be a nice bonus.
The coins from British Territories (Jersey, Gibraltar Ect.) Are quite valuable due to mintage figures
Not a 97 Jersey though, so common.
Ya, unfortunately it's not that valuable.
Just as a typical rule of thumb in the Mainland UK we'll always keep them as they're not meant to be in UK circulation
Still looking for a 2003...
I could never have that luck

On the way out of this neighborhood there was one sale left and you could see it was being put on by two little ladies (Widows )and definitely not the crack head types. Although it looked like a ladies sale of knick knacks, clothing, tupper.....etc. I made him stop, he humored me, but did get out to look. Well that day, I ended up with a Smith Wesson collection of 7 pistols all different calibers for $390. I offered more but they wanted them out of the house. Its true, if one puts forth the effort, sometimes that effort will get rewarded in spades. Sorry about the novel.
Very cool currency finds
Thanks!
There was a state quarters book in the last one too.
In the last what?
@@Silverpicker in the last garage sale
Oh yes I would buy. Love foreign coins. 😊
Aren't they so interesting!?
I don't even travel and I'd pay ten bucks for that lot. Was a cashier for a major grocery chain in the mid-atlantic and have a lot of forgien coins that I found whild working. And the coinstar machine was right near my station and I use to pick up all the rejects too.
That's really awesome! I bet you've found some great stuff!
@@Silverpicker Yes I did. Unfortunately I had to sell all the silver I had gotten but luckily it was about ten years ago when silver was worth a lot more than it is now.
That jersey 50p is not technically legal tender in the UK but you can't tell them apart from the UK ones without close examination. I find one non-uk coin roughly every few months.
Very cool. Thanks for the info!
all day long! In fact I want to buy some of them now! The medals especially
Happy to sell the medals if you want them! Shoot me an email at thesilverpicker@gmail.com
cool
What part of the country do you live in? I would have sworn you were driving around some of the streets around here in NW Illinois. I have NEVER, however, found any noteworthy coins for purchase at garage sales here. There was one house one time, and it was the situation where the old man had every coin individually marked based off of a silver price of about $25/oz, apparently.
Nope, this was in Central New Jersey. I hate when people know enough to realize their coins are valuable, but not enough to realize that they are WAY overpricing their coins
thats ridiculous for now...well see if that stays if the liberals win the next election
@@Silverpicker ah yeah, that makes sense, it was the rows of those nice little Cape Cod houses that looked like my town. As far as the overvaluing, I've been saying for years that it's a result of shows like Pawn Stars and American Pickers. Everyone thinks their junk is rare collectibles. Of course, I suppose Antiques roadshow was doing the same thing well before then.
The coin with all the proofs in it and the white House in the obverse is it for sale?
Not really a big traveler myself, but I definitely would have paid $10 for that!
shoulda also picked up that used steam iron - you need it.
Great video SP. A good object lesson on garage sales. Where did you get your Values for the Foreign Notes and Coins?
All are either based on their current, valid exchange rate or on eBay sold listings.
Wow real money!! 😲
Very nice find
Thank you!!
