Really no clue what I have here so some research is necessary. Part 2 features a SUBSTANTIAL amount of GRADED COINS and PROOF SETS LINK • ⭐PART 2⭐ My Father's V...
It's not tarnish it's toning, but don't clean them. People actually like the toning and can make them worth more even. 1964 and before, Dimes quarters and half dollars are all 90% silver and will make them worth more then face value
Also, cleaning can diminish the value of the coin based on appearance. Because it can rub away detail and also can remove some of the silver value based on weight
A star note is a bill that had gotten ripped up and taken to the bank, then the bank takes that bill and reprints it. Bit to show that it has been reprinted they place a little star next to the bar code
This is painful to listen to. Not tarnish! This is called toning. Seek out a reputable coin dealer to show you what you have. Do not sell anything until you learn what you have. Do not open any of those mint packages and do not clean any coins!
LMAO...this guy collects Baseball cards ,old toys etc. , he knows exactly what he has in these coins...he's playing stupid to get a reaction from all of the "experts" in the comment section. Mission Accomplished
I found a proof quarter from a 1999 set in my change at a gas station once. Some junkie must’ve inherited a bunch from grandma and broke them open to buy his drug of choice.
When my last parent died ( my mom ) my brother took everything...her new car, bank acc.'s life insurance, the coins jewelry and gifts I gave her over the years...about $100 Thousand. I happened to be out of state and he didn't tell me when she died or where she is now. I believe in Karma so some day he will get his.
Sorry to hear that; very sad! It sounds like your brother may either have a drug and/or gambling problem, which can greatly hurt family relations. My condolences to you.
It’s not tarnish! It’s toning and it adds value! This is painful to watch! Quit handling the face of the coins! Only hold them by the edges! Also quit the rough handling of the paper money!
His a numismatic and currency collectors nightmare not knowing much what his dad left. What was his dad doing not teaching him nothing about numismatic and currency collecting.
This is a really cool collection Vince..😮 That $10 gold note and $20 note are my favorite..🤗 I got a $20 gold note with change years ago and used to have about 20 star note $100 bills but ended up selling them later needed the money..😢 Definately should'nt clean coins no matter how tarnished..😍 Looking forward to pt.2..🎉 Takecare.👍❤🔥🤙
I know, right!?! Oh... by the way: "Toning on a coin is the change of colour brought about through oxidization, which forms a THIN LAYER OF TARNISH on the metal's surface, typically as a result of interactions and chemical reactions with sulfur-containing compounds in the environment." In other words: 🖕🤪🖕
Joseph Barr was in Office 28 days, Making them rarer than most. The SILVER $1 was an ASE( Americian Silver Eagle) Coin. THE Red Bills are NOTES! the $20 is a Brown Seal.
The barr notes are not rare. They kept making them long after he was out of office. In fact they are common because everybody hoarded them. I recall my uncle had several thousand of them.
The yellow seal $10 is a North Africa note issued during WW2. Red seal notes are called United States Notes, as that is what they say on top. Blue seals are silver certificates. Green seal notes are Federal Reserve notes. The brown Federal Reserve notes were only issued in 1929. The B and G represent location. B is New York and G is Chicago. This is also indicated as the first letter in the serial number.
These are defintely worth some money... don't sell anything until you know what you have. Seek out someone you trust or a repuatable dealer. It'll be a pain to lug them around but in the long run it will be worth it.
The 1963-B notes (regular and Star) bear the signature of Joseph W. Barr, who finished out the unexpired term of Henry H. Fowler in 1968. The Barr notes were printed from about November of ‘68 through around February of 1969. Barr notes were hoarded by collectors and are therefore, not rare. No other denomination bore Barr’s signature, which makes those $1 bills unique
It's nice you got your father's collection. My father had some awesome coins and antiques he promised me when I was growing up. He ended up with dementia and my sister did an estate auction without telling me.🤦♂️
Geeeez! I'll tell you a worse story When my father passed away his evil second wife got everything including the family herlums and I don't know what she did with everything 😫
That is great. Definitely do your research. If you have any children or nephews/nieces, consider passing it on to them (if you don't need the money). Congrats on the score
those are joseph Barr notes 1963b He was only in office for 1 month they are rare. You havesome really collectable paper money silver gold and treasury notes. Red seal 2 and 5s that's some good stuff.
Vince, do NOT clean the coins. That is not tarnish, it's 'toning'. Toning is viewed favorably by numismatists and coin graders like PCGS or NGC. If you clean them the grading companies wont grade them. They will slab them with a label that says 'ungradable - cleaned'. btw, big fan of the channel, especially when you and silver jackify collaborate
You should send the key dates to grade at NGC for coins and PMG for bills; yes those are star $1 notes and gold/silver certificates, says at the top or bottom; bunch of susan b. anthony $1 coins; any dimes, quarters, half dollars pre-1965 are made of SILVER; also dates and mintmarks matter for coins; key dates for various mint marks are worth big money, worth a check
First off , GO YANKEES! Second, coin collecting and metal stacking is a very rewarding hobby.Thats a great foundation to build upon and create a million dollar stack.
Keep the Proof Sets sealed in their original wrappers. Personally, I would also not clean coins. Watch for “S” mint marked silver Dimes, halves, and quarters. Those from the ‘40’s and 50’s will usually have lower mintages than their Denver and plain varieties in junk US silver coins. S mint mark would eventually disappear from standard circulated coin to just on proof sets. Condition and rarity is the key just like baseball cards. Silver ended after 1964 in circulated US coinage. Kennedy halves had 40% silver content until after 1969. After that just proof sets had silver content.
I inherited a box of coins. It had several rolls of Morgan's, 3 shotgun rolls of 1964 D Washington Quarters, a bag of Mercury dimes and a bag of Roosevelt's, the best coins were a bag with 38 total St. Gaudens 20 dollar eagles all in low MS or high AU condition with a few key dates including 2 - 1914 Philadelphias. I was having a hard time registering or believing what I was just given to me from my mother in law. All because she knew I am a coin collector and didn't want them.
Man I only wish my collection was that good . Please please please do your research on all this collection. The walking library book looked like it had some of the 1916’s from what little I seen. Very nice indeed
Vince, that's a cool coin collection! Dimes, quarters, and half dollars from 1964 and prior are 90% silver, so at the very least they will have the silver bullion value, which can definitely add up! Probably some of the earlier Walking Liberty Halves will have collector value beyond the silver value. This may be true for some of the other coins as well. Just like with sports cards, it depends on condition, but even a worn coin, if it is what is called a key or semi-key date, can be worth quite a bit more than bullion value. Any coins from 1965 to present are typically just worth face value. However, Kennedy half dollars from 1965 through 1970 are 40% silver. Based on your video, there is a lot of silver value and probably some coins that are worth a premium over the bullion value. So, whatever a 90% silver half dollar could be sold to a coin or bullion dealer for these days (maybe around $8 to $9 each?), my guess is there are probably at least a few that have collector value beyond the silver content. It wouldn't surprise me if there are one or two coins in what you showed worth around $100 or even $200, and possibly several in the $20 to $50 range in their present condition. As far as the toning, definitely do not clean the coins! Cleaning coins drastically reduces their collector value! Collectors very strongly prefer coins that have original toning and have not been messed with, very much like card collectors generally only want cards that have not been altered! I never collected paper money, so I don't know much about it, other than to say that I know there is some value beyond face value there, but probably nothing too crazy. Of course, condition matters. Some of the bills look pretty worn, but should still have some value above face value. Some look perhaps uncirculated. Try to keep those nice, treating them as if they were sports cards! Feel free to reach out if you want to talk on the phone or do a Zoom type meeting to discuss further. There may be a reputable coin dealer in your area. They will often do an appraisal for free, because they are hoping you will consider selling to them, should you decide to sell. Plenty of fantastic coin dealers, but of course some sleazy ones as well! I would not take them to a bullion dealer because they do not check for numismatic (coin collector) value. Lots of people have my number, like Mike - Baseball Collector, or any of the 4 Collectors, so feel free to reach out if you wish. 😊👊
Thanks Adam! Might be record for the longest YT comment! I've already identified a reputable coin dealer that can provide an appraisal when the time comes. I'll reach out to you if I decide to take the convo offline for additional consultation so thanks for that.
Proof set values have always been dismal. Actually most coins haven’t appreciated in value since I was collecting in the 60’s I bought a 1950D Jefferson nickle in 1964 for 12.50. Uncirculated! I still have it and they can be bought now for what I paid! NEVER EVER clean a coin! It destroys the value!
I pray if you sold this you did your research. You had some great value there. Just the silver value alone is worth tons and some of those key dates can be extremely expensive.
God Bless your Dad! I would treat EVERY coin and bill like a mint 1969 Topp's Mickey Mantle until you get some professional consultation. Or... you could refer to the comments here and figure a lot of it out on your own. Great video and terrific comments. Grats and thanks for sharing.
Get this collection to a good coin shop and learn more, very important. Silver value for 1964 and earlier dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars right now is about 20+ times face value. So 10 dimes or 4 quarters are worth at least $20, but good condition may increase this.
What meant a lot to your Dad needs to be appreciated as well as valued. Lots of Constitutional Silver prior to 1965. Which is 90% silver. ~$1.40 in face value is equal to 1 ounce of .999 silver
Each one of this half dollars before 1964 are 90% silver and worth about $10.50 each as melt value. Take that collection to an honest coin dealer for appraisal.
You guys are really funny. It's tarnish, and no matter how anyone feels about it that discoloration is environmental damage that has been done to the coin. And that is a pure fact. Coin collectors call it toning and that's fine, but it is tarnish just like the tarnish that grandma cleans off the good silver. So all you toner snobs can say whatever you want but it does not change the fact that all silver not properly sealed will tarnish.
Im late to the party. Silver alone that's a decent amount of silver. Numismatic a lot of classics. Please have a professional look. Great collection Im envious.
Agree seek someone since you dont know what doing. You dont put fingers all over 1964 90% silver halves. Let someone you can trust to tell you value especially quarters halves and other coins including bills.
Looks like a nice collection, with beautiful toned coins. You have quite a bit of value there, I would say get an insurance appraisal from a coin shop, to understand what you have and there value. Then pack them away. THANKS FOR SHARING!!
For someone who collects stuff it’s scary how little you know about silver coins , your dad would have been better off selling them and just giving you the money lol .
The tube of Kennedy half dollars look real nice. Almost like it was an uncirculated roll. Your father like mine hoarded the Joe Barr dollars from 1943. I don’t think they are worth much. To me coins and bills have a more significant place in history than cards but I have piles of both. No gold coins? Thanks for showing this.
Barr notes are from 1963... the reason they are collectable is because he was secretary of the treasury for only a month or two.. The 63 barr star notes are even more valuable. The dime quarter half books are almost ALL silver.. wartime nickles from 1942- 45 are silver also... identified by a large P,D OR S above the Capitol dome. That is a moderately valuable collection... I've been collecting for about 60 years.
The significance of the 1963 B Barr notes was as he only held that position for approximately one month, so people started putting them away for collecting. The star notes on the other hand, are conditionally rare because so few were printed (less than 12.5 million), I know that sounds like a lot, but many have been cycled through circulation and destroyed. Choice Uncirculated Barr star notes like those go for 25-35 dollars each. If you're interested in breaking apart the collection later on down the road. I'd be willing to pay a fair price for any or all of the Barr star notes. Please let me know. Great video.
What you were calling Proof sets in the small manila envelopes at the beginning, are really Mint sets. Also, all dimes,quarters and half dollars made 1964 and earlier are 90% silver. and all nickels made during ww2 had silver in them as well, one dollar face value of those nickels will have over an ounce of silver in them.
Don't clean or open anything! It will destroy the value if you clean them. Awesome set. Also might put on gloves when handling the ones that are brilliant uncirculated in tubes. And the first tube of nickels may have been war nickels and those would be 35 percent silver if they are
There’s around a few to more thousand dollars there !!!don’t bang them around if I can help you if you need help I’ve been collecting for over 50 years and don’t want any coins or compensation
You have Thousands of Dollars there any dime ,Quarters, Half Dollars,before 1964 is silver plus the dates and condition adds more money to the coins!So I would check around for offers or hold on to it!
Great older collection, If your on board at all id be interested in about 10 of the one dollar bills blue silver certificates. they dont bring much value honestly but the are fun to collect. As well as the Red and blue soft envelopes with the tarnished Ike dollars in them at the start of your video.. Again they aren't really valuable but my Nephew loves collecting them. If so just shoot me a message and wel chat about it...Thanx and Have a great day sir..
It's not a bad collection. The mint sets he probably got in the mail. Everything else he got in change over the years. I think you should learn something about collecting coins and dollars.
I agree with what has been said here. take these to a coin shop and get them appraised. DO NOT CLEAN THEM. Coins to look out for would be 1916 D Dime, 1932 D or S Quarter, 1937 D Buffalo Nickel, and 1909 VDB S cent...those are the obvious ones but there are a lot of others worth keeping. Learn about double dies and mint errors. Good luck
From the video of the coins in the folders are 90% silver 20x face value or more depending on the condition! The paper money or consecutive serial numbers which means that the serial numbers are in consecutive order like one two three four, the Star notes were also consecutive serial numbers which they can go for a premium, the Red seal $5 bills in the older 10 and 20's where worth a premium too! The proof sets from 1963 and older were around $60-100 each the 1956 $100-200 set! I hope that you seriously did not take all of this coins and bills to the casino! You probably through away several thousand's of dollars worth of your Dads collection away! Your time would have been better off spent sitting down and looking up some of these items to get more informed on what their value was!
Wow, you get this super nice collection, and you comment, they are not complete collections . Very disrespectful. I will not be back to watch your videos
Do not clean the coins ever, they will lose value. All the dimes, quarters and half dollars from 1964 and earlier are 90% silver -- worth roughly $29 per ounce at today's prices (one ounce = roughly $1.40 of money face value in that earlier silver). Cool and interesting paper currency, worth way more than face and need to research the items but I don't see anything crazy. The silver dollar coin is called an American Silver Eagle and is a ounce of silver, should get above silver spot price on that one.
