[ownthenoob55]

i only have one silver quarter.... sell some?

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

well!!! i think collector's value for some of those could be well over two bucks. :S nice find! ^_^

[videoman1970]

Get them any way you can. Cheap or free is always the best :-)

[justanotherpulltab]

very nice score.

[lanceoa]

grear steal on the silver dollars and halves

[lanceoa]

nice... check out my vid of silver finds as a bank teller

[fieryphoenixe]

Nice find, I wish we had a flea market around here. Sheeesh!!!

[Hoveto33]

keep it...

[msungs]

Good hunting.

[MrSkate4weed]

fool, should have saved them, could have gotten like 8 dollars a piece for them

[terminal99]

@MrSkate4weed It's pretty easy, with hindsight being 20/20, to sit back and tell people what they should have done isn't it. With a name like mrskate4weed, I'm sure you would have held them and sold them at the market peak. I think you still have a lot of growing up to do.

[JPMorganSuckBalls]

@terminal99 Why didn't you wait until April 2011? it was like $50 per ounce.

[ownthenoob55]

sell it, get your money, use it on coin roll hunting.

[alan30189]

You should have kept them.

[77rockcrawler]

who is snoring in the back round

[TheWeaponsBin]

@77rockcrawler My dog.

[77rockcrawler]

@TheWeaponsBin lol



[NicktheMainer]

I'm a beginner metal detector and I'm really interested in collecting silver coins. I want to try doing some coin roll hunting or just start looking through any change I see.

[terminal99]

@NicktheMainer Good going! It's a thrill to uncover a silver coin metal detecting.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

A hundred dollars in potential profit. Gee, aren't you the little entrepreneur. A hundred dollars is LUNCH.

[terminal99]

@JeffersonDinedAlone You're just a ray of sunshine aren't you.

[Patriot3pcter]

@terminal99 don't let people kick you down, you got a hell of a deal, nice job friend!!!

[TheHotRod1961]

I've been looking 20 years for a 1975 quarter?

[snapsalot]

@TheHotRod1961 Well when ya find that quarter buddy ill give ya a nice shiny 50 cents plus buy you a ice cream cone for it :).

[KeloGraff]

since the value of silver could u just melt that down into just a blob of silver and taken it to like a jewler?

[terminal99]

@KeloGraff i prefer to keep silver coins just the way they are. In coin form, they not only have melt value, but they have collector value on top of it. If I melt them, I have the expense and time of melting them and I'm left with a blob of silver of uncertain purity. The purity of a silver coin has a known value. Will

[snapsalot]

@KeloGraff can you just melt it? Yes. Should you melt silver coins? NO.

Silver coins will get close to the spot price for any condition because everyone knows what they weigh and what their purity is. If you have a big chunk of metal that you say is silver, off hand I have no idea if it is silver and if it is what purity the silver is plus i dont know what it weighs.

[ThatOneGuyOnYT]

Ya you should of kept them but still a very great find. I'm just hoping that the price of silver gets over $50 and I herd it could reach over $60 per oz. Great find even back then in "09"

[terminal99]

@ThatOneGuyOnYT Thanks - I should have kept them.

[snapsalot]

@ThatOneGuyOnYT In the near future you can bet your ass it will be 50 or 60. By sometime in 2012 should be in that range. Of course it can shoot up to much higher amounts in 2012 such as the prospective 100-200 range. However those numbers greatly depend on the condition of the USD, so its not something that can be easily predicted.

However 50-60 within the next year when you factor in inflation and the undervaluation of silver is a near certainty.

[greenwooddesign]

Def keep it! Really good finds. I've found silver halves at a good price before. ( see my videos ) but never full silver dollars, well done

[bengman79]

keep it!!!

[mabuab]

I bought a roll of Silver Eagles for $340 a year ago then sold them one by one and got $850-but who knows? They could be worth more a year from now. The question is always "Sell or Keep?"

[andrew0901280]

hahahah SCORE! gotta love makin a buck off other peoples stupidity

[chuckbyf1]

@andrew0901280 hahaha! yeah, steal from stupid people. That's being a real great human. you fucking asshole!

[andrew0901280]

@chuckbyf1 hahaha your just pissed off because your probly one of those retards that gets scamed all the time and your not smart enough to keep your self from fucking your self over asshole!

[chuckbyf1]

@andrew0901280 No, I'm just a nice guy and I don't like to see people scammed. Anyone that takes advantage of people like that is an asshole.

[timerready21]

Now about 7 bucks for one

[DigginPA]

Should of saved them

[terminal99]

@DigginPA Yes, I should have saved them.

[AngriestAmerican]

Should have held onto them,,, 300 or so now. And the money you go was devalued during the last year. So you lost that, and the profit of the silver increase,,,

Is that a cat purring in the background?

[terminal99]

@AngriestAmerican I should have kept them. That is a cat in the background. He gets loud!

[AngriestAmerican]

@terminal99 Also,,look at Egypt,,soon to be here,,make sure you have some silver on hand to barter with, or get a supply of food 3 mos for every person in your family and some xtra cat food!!

You have inspired me to check out some flea markets here also!

Cats are great,,they are little lions!!

[MrSmartAfrican]

i have to start going to flee markets now if its that easy to negotiate with people like that. Your silver could sell for a good premium if you kept them till now but either way you still made a good profit.

[fdgebad5]

plz answer this but how do you know if they are silver?

[terminal99]

@fdgebad5 Any quarter, dime, or half dollar made in 1964 or before is 90% silver. Check out coinflation on google.

[fdgebad5]

@terminal99 thnxs

[NE1469DOG]

3 buck a piece but the 1932s is worth 1000 nice condition

[staydput]

These appear in every way to be stolen booty. A dead give away is that each quarter has a unique date and mint mark.

The bottom coins are in typical collectors cases. No collector would dump his stuff this way. You're buying from a criminal -- for sure.

The Ike dollar would trade for 6 to 8. Your valuations are all WAY low.

These are NOT common date coins.

Take them to a coin dealer -- especially the older ones -- and get a clue.

[terminal99]

@staydput I really doubt these were stolen. The quarters did not have a unique date and mint mark. There were several of the same date and all showed wear. I listed these on Ebay a year ago with the different dates and the market, at that time, determined the price. I see common clad Ike dollars like the one in this video all the time for around $2 and no one is buying. Your valuation is WAY high.

[staydput]

@terminal99

Silver is trading near $20 in bullion ingot form. Bullion coins trade at a premium over ingots -- always. Silver content in a SILVER Ike is 0.3161 oz troy.

Hence $6 is fair at wholesale as a BID. $ 8 is actually the ASK for rolls of 100.

As for the provenance, silver dropped out of common circulation by 1969. I witnessed it. ALL silver coins floating around have been stolen from someone. However, nothing can be done.

BTW, check your stuff against Redbook. 1930's dates are rare.

[terminal99]

@staydput The Ike was a clad coin - big difference from a silver Ike. Remember I sold these over a year ago on Ebay. Silver has gone up since then. At the time it sold, the price it brought was a little over melt. I was happy with that.

[staydput]

@terminal99

I'm personally very bullish on silver, and gold and such because the Fedsury is printing money at quite a clip. Money printing= hyperinflation. ( Confederate Dollar, Continental Dollar, Lincoln's Greenbacks, Weimar Germany Marks ) That prices have not yet moved is typical. Money printing is resorted to during economic distress/depression because taxes have collapsed. When international traders refuse further currency exports critical prices explode, take everything along, too.

[terminal99]

@staydput I agree.

[antijanitor]

if u kept them u could have sold them for 3.50 a piece and made over $100

[terminal99]

@antijanitor Hindsight is always 20/20.

[tcurrsdmaster]

you raped that guy!!!  you got SUCH A GOOD DEAL!

[jbexpress1]

That was one hell of a deal!!! SAVE ALL YOUR SILVER!!

[NE1469DOG]

6.86cents

[thomasuras]

all and all y take your 160 dollar treasure that cost 40 bucks now 110 bucks gas their and back 15 now 95 bucks sales commission now 90 bucks weeks going to the flea market say 3 weekends at 6 hours each x 3 =18 hours @ minim wage 5.25 = 94 bucks so ya only lost 4 bucks. But ur still in the game and i just might see ya on TV when you find that copy of the Constitution

[MUDSWAT]

Do you still have the Ike dollar ?

Can you tell me the Mint mark of the Ike dollar?

[terminal99]

I still have the Ike. It has no mint mark.

[50plussilver]

What years are your silver eagles, 1996 is worth $35 to $40 per coin!

[Negativerything]

@50plussilver Umm, I'm pretty sure there weren't any silver eagles there. Those were Walking Liberty half dollars I believe.

[jason11006]

@Negativerything then you are stupid! the american eagles look like the Walking liberty but the halfs are the same size as the franklin halves. these are clearly silver eagles

[Negativerything]

@jason11006 Oh ya, sorry about that, I'm using my brothers account right now, he's the coin expert in the family. I was just trying to test my knowledge which clearly failed. Thanks for the correction though

[badboy94590]

what fla market was this at

[terminal99]

This was at a local Baltimore area flea market.

[kscan2269]

at the flea market did this guy have a whole table of just coins or what?

[terminal99]

He had a lot of junk mostly. I bought a few tools from him and just happened to notice the small bag of coins on the table. This is why you cannot assume what a person has for sale just by glancing from a distance. All it takes is one good thing like this bag of silver to make a day.

[killercrosby2]

wow good fine it make all the difference if u know your stuff anf if u got a coin collection keep it if not selll it.

[terminal99]

Thanks, it seems that you really need to know a little about everything in order to make finds on a regular basis at the flea market. The more that you know, the more money you can make. I never stop learning.
