I Showed These JUNK Silver Coins to a Dealer.. Hear What He Said! 

I learnt my lesson in a previous life when i sold a cow for some magic beans😂😂

I hate when they call any silver in any form "junk". Plastic bottles that can't even be recycled are junk. Silver is always a treasure.

I learned my lesson on grab-bags as a kid in the 80s when I paid 75 cents and ended up with 2 books of bi-centennial matches. 😂

I agree with ericw 3517, calling old silver coins junk silver is stupid. Silver is Silver and a presciou metal. I too will take any and all they want to dump.

Loved his comment about giving that/those coins to the kids. Great attitude to have. Kudos to him.

I sold mystery bags on eBay and I was totally fair. I'm Canadian and sold $50 and $100 bags. Both bags had at least $50 or $100 in them. That's retail. How did I make money? I didn't pay retail. Easy.

This is a very interesting and informative video thank you for posting 👍👍.

I never bought a mystery pack. I look at it this way. If I can’t see what I’m buying, I’m not buying it

On the bright side, I'm sure you got some entertainment by not knowing what was going to be inside. Then you passed that entertainment to the rest of us with a few good videos for us to watch!

PT Barnum once said, "A sucker is born every day," and that quote applies here.

I liked Mercury dimes when I was collecting coins. They look a little "different" compared to current coinage and most of them are pretty cheap. Even a kid can put together a pretty good collection for not that much money.

I used to visit a coin shop that had a big box of foreign coins for 50 cents each. Liked finding 1 & 2 euro coins there.

I agree with Keith across the board on this one. The mystery packs are overpriced novelties. Of course, you already knew that. The bright side is, you got two good videos out of it. I enjoy seeing channels from our community get together like this. Seek on!! 👊✌️

The seller called it a mystery pack cause it's a mystery as to why anyone would pay $30 plus shipping for it.

During the video, I did my own calculations of what I would be likely to sell these coins for myself. My figure turned out to be $9.30, which was less than the $11.25 that the dealer said he'd retail them for. Online mystery packs are generally a bad deal

"JUNK SILVER" IS AN OXYMORON!! It's "Coin Silver"....always has been....always WILL BE!!

those are nice vinyl coin flips in that bag!

Keith's honesty made that extra brutal. You're better off buying a grab bag from a coin dealer than buying them on eBay. Thanks for buying these so others don't have to, Seeker!

I buy stuff I like from the US mint and only 2 other highly reputable dealers who will also buy back from me when I want to sell.

I just watched a video where the dude bought a silver Libertad for only $32!

I liked the dealer you had on. 👍

Surely, given its' wear, the Roosevelt Dime is only worth its' melt value, but I would have expected the Mercury's condition would have lifted it out of the melt realm...

Never buy anything like this. Great for sharing

I really like/appreciate videos like this they teach me a lot thanks

These are like the discount version of buying vault coins 😂

Great job, Silver Seeker & Keith from Coin Crew!

The value of a Mercury Dime can vary from less than $1.50 to over $1,500 depending on its condition, date, and mint mark. For example, as of July 2024, a circulated 1945 Mercury Dime is worth between $3.25 and $5.75, while a 1926 Mercury Dime in good condition is worth $3, but an uncirculated one can be worth $450. Some of the rarest Mercury Dimes include the 1916-D, 1921, 1921-D, 1925-D, 1926-S, 1931-D, and the 1942 over 41

A better way was to GO to a dealer, whom you never spoke to before and recorded his appraisal.

Obviously don’t buy mystery packs

As a coin dealer, has Keith ever sold mystery packs, and has he ever stuck in a really nice value coin, that made the pack actually worth MORE than what he is selling it for, just to give a few customers the chance at actually coming out on top?

Cool video. I look at mercury dimes as a collectable. Not as just the silver they are made of.

Every coin is a "world coin".

I believe it would be appropriate for you to tell who you bought this item from. It would help keep other people from getting ripped off by this eBay seller.

Any time you hear junk about silver. Silver is a precious metal.

I grab coins from a coin machine that people use often and I always find all kinds of world coins. I think it’s really cool to see them but I might carry them around to give away or maybe exchange for small items if I can

5:00 When I lived in England, the antique stores sold many of the old British coins going back to the 1700s for 50p. Almost like play money

Wow I like this video silver seeker. This is a great educational video. Thank you for sharing.

Hey i found that exact same british penny metal detecting in a park in montana last year. Wasnt expexting one of those. Hahha

Silver Seeker and Just A Guy aka Coin Crew, great video 👍👍

II really like your honesty In can anyone call and ask you for your opinion about their coins as well?

Exposure, thank you, these people ruin the hobby. Trying to gouge people.

Yeah its a cool thing for a gift if you make a case for them or for a kid to get them interesting in history. But many coins are only valuable for the history behind the images, period, specific date. You're not likely to get rich buying and selling money. The ones who get rich are the finders. Grandma's piggy bank, in the walls of an old building being renovated, discovering a Spanish Galleon, etc. ;)

Your Dealer was right on with his suggestion. If the Seller treated you fair it could be a win/win. As it is, I wouldn't touch a Mystery Bag.

Littleton Coin Company is the biggest rip-off. They always massively mark up their coins. I made the mistake of buying a few of their coins when I first started and years later, I still haven't broke even on those coins.

Keith - I'm old in FLA, but lived at G.R. Mich '80's. Old Farticus, coin dealer @show, sellin' the remainders of year sets, after 50 cent pieces snipped out. I asked for bulk purchase price. He had his Buds there, scowled at me, & said, "Sonny, the price is the price...I have 3000 of 'em, how many you want?" I stated his sticker price, & asked, if that was correct? Dealer snarled sayin' "That's the price Sonny...now buy 'em or move along, how many you want? I tried to look dejected, but coyly said, "I'll take 'em all". Dealer & Buds laughed their azzes off, until when left, I smiled & said, "Hello Susan B. Anthony....you hot Biotch"!!! Don't worry, I paid area back next decade on way to Lansing, workin' MDOT. I-96 near Airport, my PU only traffic, & slammed by Microburst. PU squatted, rebounded, alit crooked @85mph, but caught it, w/glance up at Jetliner on ILS Approach to GRR, STATIONARY!! Had my 3X load, but flipped on lights & beacons, yanked it up on rights, up thru window, sittin' on sill, gassin' Rt foot, Rt hand steer, Lt hand shake finger at Capt WTF up there, while slaloming CL, until Capt gassed it w/huge plumes of exhaust, but also set full flaps, gear up, nose down, then in flat plummet to G.R. Jetliner smashed into oak woods as pullin' out, but continued thru forest, until arose out N end! Capt knew that's impossible, so gently pulled U-Turn passing me on way to Lansing, & THERE WAS THAT DANG ORANGE PICKUP!! HO RE SHT, it did exist! He pulled lazy u-turn, flyin' back towards G.R. @freeway altitude, wagglin' wings, wavin' paper back & forth, on side-window as, "Thanks for tip", I flipped on lights/beacons, & waved at him for, "No Problem", & that shoulda been last of that! Liner ruined, no radios for Tower, No Com w/Cabin, so Capt flew remains straight to GRR this time, but it looked abandoned. Nervous, he gave self, Approach, Land, Taxi, Approach Concourse, & Park in his spot Clearances, so did exactly that, but wingtips dragged runway, & his Gate Abandoned. Capt didn't want Liner to catch fire killin' all, so shut her down himself as 1st Ofcr still whimpering knowing he was dead. Finally, Capt could hear Company w/Medical arriving to retrieve entire Cabin Crew, all severely injured, plopped "Junior" on gurney shootin' 'em up to prevent scene, then the injured Passengers, then those uninjured, w/Capt left alone. He slipped down narrow "Late Luggage" stairs, glanced back up at his beautiful V-Shape wings, but tips bowed down to tarmac. Capt knew in trouble for sure, was pullin' oak limbs from belly, when arrested by GRPD for Evidence Tampering, & second charge of Joyriding Airliner!! Cops dragged Capt to door, then stairwell, bumpin' him up steps, w/money shot, passing his uninjured Passengers makin' them all cry!! Capt later told me, that was when felt just like sht!! He was then bumped up the Tower's Stairs into FAA's lair, before 4 - Know-It-Alls, asking raft of questions, for which he had no answers. Upon arrival, FAA Supervisor, asked for removal of handcuffs, & after questioning completed, the Arresting Officer asked the FAA Supv if wanted Capt Charged & Lodged out to Kent Co Jail? Supv by then, realizin' gravity of situation, told Cop, "You've got to be kidding"!!! NOV '96, Capt just back to flying, I was marooned @TPA, having not eaten for 3 days, w/next AM ride to DTE on SWA after Burger Spcl @Pilot's Lounge, but Zero $'s on me. In line, my table was dbl table, but there was little single table at wall, so told 4 - Pilots behind they could have dbl, & I'd get that single table. I was way underdressed, so Waitress got my burger in gear, then returned for Pilots' orders. NWA Capt had his newly issued 1st Ofcr there, & pair of SWA Pilots too for Dangers of Windshear/Microburst Training. He started out OK with, on ILS approach to GRR...bla, bla, bla, but couldn't recall order of Emergency Actions, let alone the order of same. My burger near, but said, "Capt, you went full gas/flaps, gear up, nose down, then plummet straight down into...WHAM", Capt tackled me, growling, "And exactly how in the hell would you know that", but choken' me until 1st Ofcr said, "Capt maybe if you stop chokin' him"...& he stopped. I showed Capt my MDOT ID, he blinked half a dozen times, & said to Waitress guarding burger, "He looks more like a T-Bone Man to me, he'll be haven' what we're havin', & single table w/extra burger goes to this Young Man right here", another Senior NWA Capt waitin' in line. (Just absolutely flattered!!) See guys, instant $3,000 coin profit, traded for 155 souls in future, sounds fair...right??

years ago, I had got a speeding ticket and needed to make some money fast to make it to the next payday. I went to a coin collector with 10 coins that were old and a mix of U.S. and foreign coins. I told the guy I wanted $30 for all of them. After he was done examining them, he offered $15 for them. I told him I couldn't do that. Before I got to the door, he changed his mind. People tell me that there's no telling what they were worth, since the guy actually gave me what I wanted for them. Live and learn!

Coin crew Keith is awesome! Great video! 🎉

Pig in a poke. Dat ain't no pig, it's a bull frog. Mama gonna be mad.

Ummm, ebay fees are 15% for smaller sellers and they charge that commission on the shipping and sales tax collected too.

Excellent show. Informative, with the expert. Very entertaining, especially with the "Bamm!" presentation of each coin. Suspenseful. I subscribed.👍

Never buy a mystery bag! Always will be overpriced and little value

@11:32 a mystery pack should at least contain an item/items that do in fact total the price of the mystery pack. The point to the mystery should be what is inside NOT am I being robbed wow gang

I got lucky once with a $100 mystery grab bug that got through Etsy. I don't think the seller knew when he sent me a 1880 O with the micro O vam on it. Happy me.

Keith!

My favorite coin channel

These videos are fun to watch

This was interesting and entertaining!

Why would anyone buy a mystery pack, except for doing videos like this? Do people honestly think that sellers are going to lose money and constantly sell these packs??

i actually been to his shop since i live not too far from him.

I thought the nickel was just a sticker on it. I have a dollar with Santa, another dollar with coin guy on it, and several Kennedy half dollars with other people on them they are all just stickers. I know there was some colorized American eagles in 2000.

Dude you overpaid

Hey are you ever going to release the hidden audio footage from that video a few weeks ago?

Thanks for sharing 😊

I would like to see a video on coins that are worth more money and a good buy.

People don't understand certain thing's!!! It's cheaper to recycle than to dig for Iron Ores. Think about the fuel & energy cost's versus drilling & Extraction cost's. How many life's are lost because large corporations care more about their profit margins than they care a about a human life... 🤔

I have 4 1977 quarters, two with the “D on them and two without. I watched a video on RU-vid saying they are worth $100,000 each which is bs, they aren’t worth taking to a coin expert!!

You're a good sport!

he's a CQQL CAT !!! [ guy ]

Coin crew lets gooo. Always a good time with cc and ss

Lord Have Mercy!

1956 brand new looking penny is 200 ez, color nickel 1$, kennedy 10$ and i think thats 10% cuz its after 65 but im not sure , gold plated quarter i say 50-75 cents depending how thick the dip is, that world coin id pay 1$ for it(i like coins from other countrys also but never paid for 1), that 1938 dime is very old id say 20$ , 04 penny 25 cents, murcury dime is definitely worth more than a roosevelt especially because ive never seen or held or hurd of one till i saw this video so id say 50$, this is how much id sell em for and 35 is not bad, 50 isn't bad, ive been collecting coins for 4 years almost 5 and some coins are worth keeping because they are old and the years on these beat every coin ive come across in the past 4 years.not counting my indian head 1907 penny or 1908 indianhead dime I needa get a murcury dime and a kennedy half dollar which i know i can't get both shipped for less than 20 for those 2 alone ~40$ is really not bad at all for this pack

If those coins were sitting in in his shop for sale they would be priced higher than what he told you. That's why you don't go to coin dealers. You're better off buying from eBay if you know what you're doing

He got hosed 😅

Nothing is in the description

That was intresting

fun video

Hey Keith...😎👍

It's NOT "junk silver" and you know it, so STOP using that term. If it's truly JUNK I'll take all you have!! It's coin silver or Constitutional Silver......NOT "JUNK" SILVER..... ;-(

Good stuff!

Fun episode, and very informative. I just don't understand why that one coin was worth nothing. What did I miss?

Coins have 2 values. Raw materials like silver (silver coins are 90% silver) and Numismatic (Coin Collectors) Value. The collectors value comes from numerous factors, mostly from how many were made, the fewer made usually are more valuable; the mint mark (Philadelphia, called Plain, with no mint mark letter, Denver (D), San Francisco (S), New Orleans (O) etc.). Some valuations are high due to flaws in the coin, usually a stamping error of some form. Other valuations are the coin itself, a good example is the Lincoln Penny from 1909. Some had the initials VDB on the reverse, that was the designer of the coin, Victor D Brenner. The coins are called 1909 VDB. The S mint mark is more valuable than others on this particular coin, I have one. Bottom line, never spend old coins, and if you find one that has a stamp error it likely has much more value than a normal stamped coin of the same date/mint mark. Another factor, usually the most important are the coins condition. Proof, special coins made by the mint and sold at a higher price than face value, these are highly polished. Uncirculated, Fine, Good etc.

I don't collect coins and I don't live in the States. But I enjoyed watching this.! Is that weird or a sign that the End is near..?? 👍 🇬🇧 !

Had a similar experience on ETSY. Bought a roll of Buffalos + a roll of Indians SUPPOSEDLY full dates for $176. Recil'd machine wrapped rolls of G-4's _ALL DATELESS. Unable to return due to being unwrapped ! Left appropriate feedback.

Got two videos out of this one.

I would have thought that they would be worth more than what the dealer said. Somewhat busted my bubble, I have a couple of hand fulls of silver coins and thought I had some $$$$$ I guess my silver certificates are not valuable as thought also 🤔 But I have a bunch of Texas quarters , I feel certain they are priceless, to me 😀

You don't know what's in a person's person's heart, and there are numismatics that do know a lot but the coin dealers know a lot about their basics there are some people that know a lot more and some of the coin dealers have stuff they don't even know the value of and in some cases I won't mention the amount that individuals have come away with because you would not believe, there's a notch up above these coin dealers and if you don't know about it you are in the wrong business..

Am I having déjà vu or have you already made one of these videos before?😃👍

I dnt see the link to his channel ?

This coin selection is garbage 30 dollarss LOL, put it to the trash and buy on ounce of silver, that would be better!

`i have token that says free dr pepper for any fountain in waco tx dr pepper moved to dallas 1902 it has george washington thirteen stars on one side what is it worth?

Got a sack full of wheat pennies that a coin shop said they are still worth just a penny each.... I guess they may be worth a liitle more

Half Penny is copper? what if you had a hundred ??.....Still 0 ?

i would pay fifty cents for that nickle. its SHINY!

And dont fall for Painted GOLD Flake! Its painted gold color in a vial

Rip off i know coin dealers wont give nothing but to resale they triple it

Your video does not show junk silver. It's just junk.

just so most of you get it,CONSTITUTIONAL MONEY IS MONEY,SILVER IS MONEY,GOLD IS REAL MONEY,ANY FORM,ANY WEIGHT,i've been buying silver coins since 1972,all constitutional money,1 cause i was a kid then and couldn't get enough coins as a kid 2 cause i like the sound of it,in your hand,beat paper dollars which burn,3 i've bought over 300 lbs of it since 1972 and do not sell,no way,plus its already weighed by the government for value,buy em,don't pay any attention to so called experts,just get the weight up

Looks like maybe 10.00 plus shipping.

Just went to a pawn shop,,YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE COINS FOR SALE,,GOLD BULLION,GOLD BARS SILVER BARS,,,,WHY ANYONE WOULD SELL GOLD&SILVER BARS TO A CREEP PAWN BROKER IS BEYOND ME,AND THEY PROBABLY TOLD THEM IT WOULD GET MELTED DOWN AS SCRAP JUST TO MAKE IT HURT MORE

Glad to see you and Keith
