My late Christmas Present From My Uncle

2015-05-18T22:19:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! I got a lot of really nice coins that I got from my uncle in January but never had a chance to post it. I usually don't post anything on Mondays but I had some time so I thought I will just complete this post.

1919, 1944, 1944 S, 1944 D, 1956 D. My most favorite wheat penny would the 1919 (shown in the picture) because it is in good condition for an old coin. I also have the same exact coin but is flatter and has less details.

1920 Buffalo Nickel

1943 S Silver nickel (The shinier one is the silver nickel)

4 Washington Quarters

2 silver dimes

I am very sorry this was a very late post. I have bought 2 Boxes of Pennies and I will post how well it went.
Most Importantly, Thank You Uncle for these coins! I will take good care of them. :)

Box of Coins

2015-01-21T21:46:00.001-08:00

Hello everyone! I got my box of pennies and box of nickels from the bank again. I opened them and the rolls look pretty good. I saw a lot of old and dirty looking pennies. Anyways, I will tell you how it went and come back during the weekend!

Happy Coin Roll Hunting!!

A Visit to my local coin shop

2015-01-18T01:03:00.003-08:00

Hi guys! I thought I bought some good coins for a good price so this weekend's post is about the coins I bought from my local coin shop. Well this post is suppose to be last weeks post but I just didn't have time to finish this post. :(

The $1 and the $0.25 Box
In my local coin shop they have 2 boxes. The $1 box has a lot of old coins including American Coins. (Not silver though) The $0.25 box has a lot of old foreign coins but the only American coins you can find would be heavily worn V nickels and if you're lucky, you can find some heavily worn Indian Head cents.

$0.25 Box

I bought a Japanese 10 Sen coin dating back to Taisho 12(1923) from the $0.25 box

I believe this side is the Reverse

I believe this side is the Obverse

That's all for the $0.25 box

$1 Box

I bought a 1909 Wheat penny which in my opinion is a good price for something very old and rare also the condition is good and this coin can go up to $75 depending on the condition.

Reverse

A 1895 Indian Head penny. It is in good condition. Well sort of.

1895 Indian head Penny Obverse

Reverse

An Australian 3 pence George V with the reverse side missing. (AKA The Blank Planchet) I am not sure what year it is but all I know for sure is that this coin was minted between 1911-1936. Unfortunately I don't really know much about Australian currency. :(

Australian George V 3 pence coin (Obverse)

A 1906 Indian Head Penny. In my opinion, the condition of this coin would be XF. (Extra Fine) Everything on the coin is legible.

Reverse

Obverse

When I first got this coin, I didn't even know anything about except that it is old. So I found some information about it and this coin has 19 percent silver in it and the rest is copper. Also this coin is made in Poland. I was surprised because I would think the employees at the coin shop would check each coin. The coin is very brown and is hard to tell if there is even silver in it. The minimum value for this coin would be $8.

1840 10 Groszy

That's all for the $1 box

The last thing I bought from the coin shop would be the 1854 Seated liberty Quarter (with arrows) and the 1911 S Barber Quarter. I honestly think I made a mistake on buying the Seated Liberty Quarter because its so flattened and is hard to see the details. I should of saved my money and buy a better Seated Liberty Quarter that cost's a little more and something I will be more happy with.

Treasures inside the Box Of Pennies and Box of Nickels

2015-01-09T11:33:00.001-08:00

Hi everyone!! Good to see you. This post will be about my findings in my Box Of Pennies and Box Of Nickels I got for Christmas.

First off, Pennies. I found 2 wheat pennies, 1957 D and 1939. The 1957 D is worth about $0.05. The 1939 is worth about $0.10. Also found 1 1998 Canadian Penny. Which is face value.
Unfortunately I didn't find much in these box of pennies. Most of the pennies were 2014 pennies. :(

Second off, Nickels. I found 2 Silver Nickels, 1944 S and 1945 S. A bunch of old nickels which are worth a little more than face value. Found a 1964 post mint damage (PMD) nickel. Also found a 1998 Canadian Nickel.

Somehow a 1941 1 Franc Belgium coin was in my nickel roll and which I thought was really amazing.

Also I don't know how a 1979 S proof mint coin got in circulation. I am guessing that a person who was maybe poor or desperate used it to buy something or it accidently slipped into circulation. Also found a 1939 S that is in pretty good condition.

I am very sorry this was a late post

Back From Vacation!

2015-01-01T17:40:00.000-08:00

       Hi guys!!! I am back from my vacation. First I went Las Vegas for 5 days and drove to California and stayed there for 4 days. So total 9 days


       First in Vegas I got 6 Half Dollar rolls ($10). They are pretty heavy but the only reason why I got them was because the banks in our state doesn't have Half Dollar bank rolls. I opened them today and unfortunately didn't find anything good.

In California, I went to Disneyland for 2 days. I did many fun things there. When I went to the penny arcade, I saw a stack of pennies left on top of the games, and that stack had a wheat penny!! It was a 1942 Wheat Penny.

         Remember to share anything cool! It could be lame to awesome! Only thing that matters is the thought of replying to any of my post. Thought Counts!

                                                     Happy New Year Everyone!!

Vacation....

2014-12-20T18:17:00.003-08:00

I am sorry guys. I'm going to Las Vegas and California for my vacation. I may not post for at least 10 days. Sorry for the inconvenience. Any way, I got 1 box of pennies and 1 box of nickels for Christmas and when I open it, I will tell you guys what I found.

Happy Holidays!!!

Tip to Finding Rare Coins in Circulation

2014-11-28T23:08:00.002-08:00

Want to find valuable coins and bills in circulation? Just do these tips.
       1. Get coin rolls from the bank. Ask the teller what type of currency you would like. (Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, Quarters) Try not ask to get too much because if you do, you might get the stink eye! The tellers only have so much bank rolls with them. I learned the hard way, I got $40 in pennies which is equivalent to 80 rolls. I asked them for $40 in pennies and they said." pennies? are you sure?" Then I said yes please. They told me " I will be right back" so I waited and just stood their for 10 minutes and came back with 80 rolls. The next time I came was about 2-3 weeks later at the same bank and asked for $40 in pennies again. Then they said," oh sorry we don't have that much. That is more than a box." Then she said I can get you $20 in pennies instead." So if you are going to get a lot, Call your local bank, tell them what you want, place your order and the bank should call you when they have your boxes. I believe you have to go to your local bank to pick it up. When ordering, I am pretty sure you can only get in boxes. It is $25 for a box of pennies, $100 for a box of Nickels, $250 for a box of Dimes, and $500 for a box of quarters. By this method, I found 2 cud error pennies, 4 silver dimes, 4 silver Nickels, and about 42 wheat pennies.
       2. Use cash to buy stuff and sometimes you get coins. When you get the coins, inspect them. See if they are silver, old, rare or valuable. I have found lots of stuff that way too. I found about 20 wheat pennies, 3 silver quarters, and a silver dime.
        3. To get rare valuable bills, go to the bank and maybe get bills from your account or another way is to check your bills that you got from change.
                        If you have any questions or comments, put it in the comment box!

                                                      Happy Coin and Bill Hunting!

Japanese silver 50 sen coin from Showa 7 (1932)

2014-11-28T17:16:00.000-08:00

This is a Japanese 50 sen coin I bought for $6.00 from a local coin shop and the coin is silver. Also bought a Half sen for $0.25. if you are wondering, Half sen is like the U.S half penny. 1 sen is like 1 penny.
