One person's junk is another person's treasure! I don't normally do this, but at a coin show last month I found a bronze 1959 medallion commemorating Hawaii as the 50th US state. It was only $10 so I bought it. My dream trip is to someday take my wife to Hawaii. This medallion sits on my desk as a reminder. Some day we'll get there! Thanks Daniel.
These "junk" coins are perfect for beginner coin collectors who are interested in the design and history of coins but don't want to break the bank to start their lifetime hobby.
I had a coin dealer lecture me on how I should collect coins. I have never returned to their store. Although these coins are not gems or rare and therefore not profitable for a coin shop, this does not mean that someone is not interested in adding them to a personal collection. Everyone collects coins for a different reason.
I buy for 2 reasons, one is to stack, there price and resale are key. The other is jewelery or something you just like and never plan to sell, like my 1/2 oz Chinese Panda neclace my mom brought back from a trip to China in '86. Sadly times being what they are, I seldom wear it, or any nice watches. Look like a target, you'll get hit like one. Grey man tactics can save you a lot of trouble.
Dude go to Grass Valley CA and hit up the coin shop…There’s Literal MORGANS In EVERY crevice of the store that’s NOT where the “Public” be…It’s Crazy I’ll get a Photo of the place if I can
I love the scratch and dent stuff; it's been a good source for silver at my local coin shop. Finding coins with history associated is a lot of fun. I have scored more unique & interesting coins in the foreign "junk" bin than anywhere else. A few weeks ago I found a 1,200 year old dirham that was in spectacular shape and got a very reasonable price on it. Last year I found a 2 reale struck in Mexico during the reign of Charles & Johanna (1570s or thereabouts). It's unfortunate so many regard this stuff as junk...these coins have crossed oceans on ships, been in the pockets of colonial militiamen...it goes on. This kind of stuff is coin heaven for me.
A lot of people buy the Red Book, and assume because a coin is listed and has a value, that a coin dealer will buy it from them to resell. Not being in the coin business, they don't realize that not too many people come in looking to buy a 1946 Jefferson nickel or a 1958-D wheat penny. Even some Barber silver coins are just bought and sold as junk silver, and even some damaged seated coins meet the same fate
I just started collecting. I’ve been buying slabbed Lincoln pennies. Trying to get 1950 to 2023. P, D and S. It’s a challenge. I’m just having fun with it.
I am a small collector with a small budget.I buy what I enjoy while knowing that I will not get no where what I have spent.I collect for the enjoyment.What ever I get when I eventually sell my collection is what I get monetarily.I'm not in it for big profit.
If you are selling foreign you have to sell in bulk and seed it. That is how I got rid of 4 pounds of foreign I have accumulated to the years. Sold it to a dealer for $4 a pound. They were pre-Euro coins and put as much Asia and Africa. I seed it with a couple of Nazi pfenning that I didn't want. I also sold 3 pounds of mainly British pre-decimal low quality for $6 a pound. This time I seeded it with Queen Elizabeth's father King George. Make it all ready for immediate re-sale for the dealer.
My local coin shop buys everything. I brought in 2 boxes of gem and junk coins from an estate. Shop paid more than the on-line prices I found. The estate was very pleased.
I like that you brought up the whole thing about learning history by looking up who was on the coin and why. That New Zealand 6d Says "King Emporor" because he's the king of England and emperor of India. In 1947 India gained independence so British & commonwealth coinage removed "ET IND: IMP:" (et Indiae Imperator/and emperor of india) from the legend of the coinage to recognize India's independence. It's that bit of info there that let's you know why some 47-48 coins can can be scarcer because they had to make new obverse dies in England and ship them out to the conmonwealth mints. Some didnt arrive till very late 1948. I love the little history lessons you get on the coins. Makes them so much more interesting.

Daniel, I think you still have a collectors heart even though you are a business. That's why you consider buying the common stuff despite it's low profit potential. That's cool.😎 But I imagine a dealer that turns too much away will lose potential customers too.
Unfortunately " collector" coin dealers are a dying breed. I moved down to the Tampa area several years ago and decided to go to some shops that still advertised as " coin Dealers". Most had turned in " Bullion " dealers and one admitted to me that in the last 3 years not one person came into his shop looking for what most people would call collector coins. He's been surviving on people selling him gold and silver and told me he plans on closing up after 43 years in business.
I asked my LCS before taking my foreign money in and since they said they would take a look, I didn't mind bringing it in... they purchased all of it, and I got a few bucks!
Thank you again, Mr. Daniel like always. I really love these kind of videos. I like how you could literally get a full nickel set except for the 1950 D. That’s good because it makes it sort of affordable to get new people into the hobby. They can complete the entire set by literally purchasing one regular nickel and possibly a couple of the silver nickels. That’s what we need is to get new people into the hobby, and not just doing it to flip the coins.
As a business owner, it's a capital mistake to refuse to deal with this sort of thing. Those low-dollar sales you might get from the junk box add up. Additionally it creates foot traffic into your business. A lot of the people coming in for the low-dollar stuff may be beginning collectors with limited budgets but over time their tastes (and budgets) may grow and they turn into steady repeat customers...which is the lifeblood of any retail business.
@@CoinHELPu Oh I wasn't clear, Daniel, I know you like them, but as you said in your video many dealers do not. I should have been more clear about who I was speaking about. You are the type of dealer that clearly has an abiding love of coins of all types, which is nice. I see too many dealers that are simply about the dollars and not about the hobby. We see the same type of people get into any kind of collectible sales-coins, comics, toys, sports/Pokemon/game cards, antiques, militaria, etc., etc. They may not have any real love for the field, they simply like the money, and are usually the kind of dealer that gets a bad rep to cut-throat trading. You are absolutely NOT that sort!
I can see where those middle of the road, mixed lots, would be time consuming, take up space and would be difficult to sell.I would put them in lots as 'as is' after you pick out the better coins.If the seller expects alot for these, just tell them I am sorry but that is the absolute most I can pay for this and still expect to make a little money.
Thank you Daniel! I do have some of those foreign coins! I like the history of them and I am trying to get some from every country I can! Just something about the old coins, US and others! 👍
Love it. I have coins from all over the world, from travels. Some truly are works of art on their designs. European countries had some beautiful coins before the Euros. Eventually, coins (currency) will become historic. Sad.
Lots of that stuff looks excellent to me. That's actually the stuff I look for when I go to the stores I do. Junk silver is junk silver. I wouldn't pay to ton of money for the items but I would appreciate it if the store had it and sold it to me. The 1917 Canada dime is sterling. And so is the 1933 Australia sixpence. I'm putting together sets of those together now. Some stores are just snobs about coins. I have alot more fun looking through the junk kind of coins. Stores I find the most boring are the ones that pretty much only do the morgan.
I recently started Stacking, no clue as to what to buy, ended up purchasing oz Silver Maple Leaf's. Mostly because they are pure Silver 9999, no mistake on value. After first purchase, that's all I collect, now believe it was the wise pick! So far, about 40lbs of them, buried them in the woods! fyi, you'll never find them! ....hope the kids can?
I became addicted to collecting coins after my father left me a fraction of his coins and collections. I fact I went through a lot of money buying coins to help fill my father’s collections but like I said, I burnt through a good amount of my inheritance buying coins. I would be on eBay late at night so my wife wouldn’t know. But somehow I managed to get through it and I came out still standing. You did an excellent job with this video. I’m sure that a lot of newcomers are definitely learning about coins from your videos. I myself was particularly impressed with the foreign coins. Especially the age and condition. I started doing some foreign coins when I didn’t have any money to buy US coins and this definitely filled the bill. Or you could buy a world coin book and that would give you an idea of how much the coin is worth.
It may be note worthy - remember that a coin shop for adults is similar to a candy store for kids - a lot of choice and virtually every buyer has a different interest - and a positive experience will often result in a repeat customer- and like sugar - coin collecting is very addictive
Great video. I imagine that stacks of clad modern proof sets and overpriced and overpackaged internet company lots of platinum plated quarters, etc. are also on the same list.
Good and essential video. I check coin rolls and had a rather frustrating experience - found a 1926-D Lincoln cent. If it had been in VF condition or even F I would have kept it as it would have several dollars value but it was very worn and damage to it even though the date and mint could be seen. I just put it back in circulation. I do keep "pocket change" but I try to find those in uncirculated condition or AU and about once a year review what I have to see what I should part with.
To me, that kind of stuff is treasure. It was treasure when I first started collecting in 1998. It still is treasure to me. It shall always be treasure for as long as I’ve got left here on this Earth.
I like seeing uncommon coins. Very cool video and educational. All of your channels content is educational and fun. One of my favorite metals and coin channel.
I would say the 10th century Liberia coin is one of the most fascinating as it would be the year Liberia claimed itself an independent nation. The coin in the condition shown would sell for about $5 - 7 according to NGC's world coin price guide. Maybe a little more as it isn't a coin you would see in the US everyday.
Daniel, Would like to say thank you for the time you put into making these videos. Please keep in up. You seem like a reliable, professional. And would like to come in there and do business. Would like to see some videos on how you price more of stuff like this lower dollar items.
Occasionally find junk coin collections at auction but some bidders are so intent on winning they bid up more then the value of the coins so I drop out. Have on occasion gotten a good deal though and found some interesting coins.
What happens if we have a bit of both junk like this and gems like what you picked out? If we know what we are talking about then bring the gems forward to you to get more value out of our collections?
Generally, I would never trust the words of coin “dealer” to buy anyone ‘s old coins. I know a couple elderly relatives who were absolutely ripped off. No scruples whatsoever.
Most coin dealers do not do that, so you can’t judge an entire Industry on a small number of experiences. Also, not being an expert yourself, I question your knowledge in coin values and appraising collections and the fact you was being nosy and often you don’t see the entire process when you’re just listening in and peaking.
Stack rounds if you must or be a numismatist (collect coin rarities) Keep them separate! Coins are money issued by governments. Rounds are not coins and rare rounds have about as much substance as the Franklin Mint. Rounds will go into the melting pot with everything else...
I guess in Ohio you don't see a lot of Canadian coins in your change, but in the Detroit area we've always got a lot of it, and it's one of the reasons I've always collected Canadian. (One reason is that Canadian has almost always been 75-80 cents on the U.S. dollar, so guys selling parking (for example) would give you all Canadian coins in your change.)
foreign coins are not all trash.. some people collect any coin, sort them according to metal.. sold them to stacker with some survivalist flavor.. some canadian coin are almost pure nickel. while most old coins world over are cupro nickel.. in SHTF condition, copper coins are good enough to pay for lunch. more valuable than aluminum coins. as scrap metal copper usually around 4 to 5 times more valuable than aluminum.
The old stuff you call junk will be the seed to get youngsters into coin collecting. Some LCS owners can be smug. I bought/buy old US coins as long as they have a date for the Grandchildren to learn with.
Watch the video and you will see I like these lots and use them to make our scratch and dent and for our auctions and when people come into the coin shop. Including kids.
Depends on what side of the table your on. If you are selling YOUR eagle you will insist that the tarnish is no big deal. But if your BUYING you will tell the seller those coins are all tarnished I wont pay that much. 😁
I note you never looked at the good-for token. Is it because you don't know anything about them (which seems to be the case with most coin dealers) or because you save them all for yourself (also the case with most coin dealers)?
That’s not what I said. I am learning a lot about people’s focus, perceptions and how they hear what they want to hear, instead of what was actually said.
One person's junk is another person's treasure! I don't normally do this, but at a coin show last month I found a bronze 1959 medallion commemorating Hawaii as the 50th US state.

Rounds are not coins and rare rounds have about as much substance as the Franklin Mint.

Wow, what a can of worms.Relax people.
The old stuff you call junk will be the seed to get youngsters into coin collecting. Some LCS owners can be smug.
I bought/buy old US coins as long as they have a date for the Grandchildren to learn with.
Watch the video and you will see I like these lots and use them to make our scratch and dent and for our auctions and when people come into the coin shop. Including kids.
I'm no expert, but I'm thinking those "Long John Silver" coins don't really have any melt value . . .
They are aluminum, about .30 a pound.
I'm surprised you don't like buying tarnished Silver Eagles. Most of my Eagles and Maple Leafs has some sort of tarnish.
I too wish people would change their mind on these.. even raw cull Morgan's should sell in anyone's shop
I buy and sell them all the time but customers prefer white coins over toned unless it’s eye appealing.
Depends on what side of the table your on. If you are selling YOUR eagle you will insist that the tarnish is no big deal. But if your BUYING you will tell the seller those coins are all tarnished I wont pay that much. 😁
never sell your coins to a coin shop always sell them at a flea market. You’ll make bunny, coin shops have overhead.
I buy those junk silvers, just to have the silver
I see those Long John Silver tokens every now and then - they go for three bucks or so when I see them in Canada.
I hate these... Turns out I love these.
There's the video 😂
I note you never looked at the good-for token. Is it because you don't know anything about them (which seems to be the case with most coin dealers) or because you save them all for yourself (also the case with most coin dealers)?
So you sell American Silver Eagles for 45$ but buy them for 7$ ? Or I got confused?
You got confused. I pay at least $7 over melt.
@@CoinHELPu What would be the price on which , you would buy American silver maples now for example ?
Interesting video
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love all your videos. I have plenty 2020 pennies and they seem to have a doubled ear. Is that possible?
Why are pirates always angry? They just RRRRR.
What has 8 legs 8 eyes and 8 arms....8 Pirates!
I remember the long John's coins. 😆
I didn’t know that coin dealers hate buying common Morgan dollars.
That’s not what I said. I am learning a lot about people’s focus, perceptions and how they hear what they want to hear, instead of what was actually said.
Collect how you want. Just dont confuse the real value
But yeah I'd like to come to the shop n check your murch
