Over $30,000 in Rare Coins & Currency Discovered in Circulation & Coin Roll Hunting 

My in-law just gave me a container full of about 25lbs of pennies. I have always picked up wheats when I saw them and decided to find out what other valuable dates and types were out there. I knew that pre 82 was not zink and that was about it. I found your videos to be the most informative of any other on RU-vid and I really appreciate not only the detail of your video but the links for other information regarding coin value and coins of interest. The hardest part for beginners is to know what to look for and you really gave me a jump start when it comes to cent pieces and a bit of interesting information on other types of collecting. Just wanted to say thanks, you have made it easy for me to become obsessed with Pennies! Bobby

Hey partner, as usual your video was on spot. Yours is one of very few places I can go to learn something valuable, while also finding encouragement to look even harder; It's the biggest part of what keeps me coming back. Hell, I think I'm becoming one of your biggest fans. Anyhooo, I've spent the last eight months going over bank roll after bank roll, and to date I actually have over four hundered (400) coins, mostly penny's that are DDO, DDR, ERRORS, RPM'S, VARIETIES, you name it, and I got it, coming out my ears, and part of that was from listening to the videos on line, and learning just how exciting coin collecting can be. In any event, I wanted to say thanks again for all the help and info, I do believe it's earned me in excess of, oh, forty thousand dollars or so ($40,000) in the coins I've collected thus far. Need I say how appreciative I am all you educators are on line. Yeah, thanks for being part of that. I absolutely could not have done this myself having known so little at the beginning. Now all I need to do is learn how to get them from my desk, to the auction house for sales. And your right when you say, Only in America! Oh how I love this place; my place of birth. I'll keep you posted... Take care now!

I know a guy that collects "007" notes... Hes a big James Bond fan, and has a collection of bills that begin or end with 007

did you buy a bag of silver, and if you did, where? whats your biggest find(s)? (i found 3 buffs,2 1945 quarters). good video!

I ran through 50 bucks worth of cents this past month. One find was a 1972 Doubled Die Obv in XF. FS-01-1972-103 in the Cherrypickers Guide, CONECA DDO-003. The Guide offers $9 as a value for a specimen in AU, so this may be only a couple bucks, but I have the evidence to say for a fact: There's Stuff Out There!

That is a close AM. In the word America, but I was reading on a coin collector's blog that the initials on the reverse lower right beside the steps have to be "farther" away from the steps to be a true Close AM. Or close to the steps on a wide AM.

I have a 1998 Wide AM "Close FG" in quite nice condition. Mild off center strike (only rim is affected) on the obverse. No mint mark. Is 30-50 dollars a reasonable expectation for this coin?

great to know, I have been doing a lot of reading as of late and have found a few with a ton of great info. thanks!

I'm going to have to join because this collection of coins that I have had for over 60 years gave me a 1944 and as soon as you mentioned the 1992 close am I picked one up. I got about 30,000 pennies from my father who was in World War II and I have bags of quarters and half dollars and dimes and nickels so I will be busy until I die. LOL keep up the great work because a 1944 and a 1992 close am in 5 minutes of picking up many thousands is a very good sign.

I found over 300 wheat cents in a $25 box of pennies recently. A collection was dumped. Typically I only find about 6 wheats in a box. I have purchased a 30-60 x magnifier to help me find RPM and errors. Happy Hunting!

Hey blueridge got one more lil question for ya. Have a bunch of buffalo nickels that are mostly too worn to tell the date, save a few.. Anyway to determine if any are anything special or whatnot? They're dope, just not sure what to do with em.. Thanks for the time👍😁✌

Hi I like all your videos I been learning form them a lot.! Thank you.! I also want to ask you if you can give me the name of a book that it has all the information about all the coins and metal that they were made and what to look on the coins. I really appreciate your help.! Thank you very much.!!

Hello all. I was wondering how to tell if I have a double dye? Thanks for all the info. I love learning about old currency/notes. Cool stuff.

Great Show and Very informative! I have a 1992 d error coin.It's not a "Closed AM",but on the back where it reads "ONE CENT" the "C"& the "E" on CENT are barely visible and Smooth,like it's barely been struck and the "E" on the ONE,the top right of the E have been cut off. And at the top the "S" in " States" and the "O" in Of are also Smoothed over.The Coin is in excellent condition.....what do you think?

Thank me?? Shaun, I want to thank you!! Dude, you are literally one of the very few on this platform that actually have proper, detailed, interesting information to provide on any one coin. You are a beast, keep doing exactly what ya are! 🤜✴️🤛

Aloha BlueRidgeSilverhound🤙🏽Coin roll searching today, June 3rd, and I found a 1993D wide A M. However very worn and Dirty. Is this collectable? Have a Great Weekend👍🏽🤙🏽

I just found a 2001 close AM penny, is this of any value?

Wow, big money in small coinage. I collect the coins over here in the UK, I'm still looking for that £7,000 undated 20p. Good video, not much info in Brit coins unfortunately

Hey blue Ridge as you said ,in pocket change I truly feel like I have found the 1992 close "am". I'm on the coin opp chat group and I had put this picture on yesterday and only have one response who feels like this is also a close am." How can I yet I'm more experienced opinion. I'll be happy to send the best pictures I can take of this coin. Love your videos Man. Thanks for your time and help my name Michael Elledge

I found a 1988 WAM and a 1988-D WAM in the same penny roll. According to some youtube sites these are supposed to be rare and have worth assigned to them, especially the Philadelphia penny, but I was surprised to not find them in Ken Potter's Strike it Rich with Pocket Money. Can you let me know if these are indeed rare?

Congrats on a nice channel, and for spreading the education. :)

Someone found the 1992 Lincoln cent I found 2 1992D, WAM and 1992 WAM. How much do you they are worth ? Pls help thanks.

hi i found around 4 pennies Wide AM 1998. lol not that much value but i guess i am learning a lot from you guys. i keep searching. hope one day i find something extremely rare. i am just new to it. lol good luck everyone here. good luck

great news. where do find out what has been found?

Im a little late to the show here but, i really think I may gave a 1983 bronze penny!! Any advice on how to confirm this on my own? Thanks

I have 2 1971 new pence, would like the right info.GOOD SELL OR BOGGIS

Just subscribed to your channel. I love the information you give and the seriousness of the videos. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for the beginner like myself. I have a lot of coins and wheat cents but all i have is a cheap magnifying glass. What type of microscope can i get cheaply and where. Thanks much and i look forward to watching your videos.

Hi, I found a 1970 S Lincoln Penny, a few weeks ago, that has a double printed date and the mint mark on it. But I'm still not sure if it's a double die or maybe just an error. So I was hoping that maybe you can help me figure this out, if i was to send you a picture of how my 1970 S Lincoln Penny looks like. And if its a double die or just an error, is it still worth something at least?

Just started to look at videos about coins can you tell me where I will get these coins rolls or boxes you are talking about I am interested in learning thanking you kindly in advance for your advice!

I have 1992 D's about uncirculated. How should I sell them?

hi i was looking threw my coin jar and i found the 1992 penny and the AM is connected like you said it would be who would i take it to get it auctioned off or authinticated

Hi guys! thanks for a wonderful explanation on coins! I have 2 coins of 1992'D' and 3 coins just 1992. i also have pennies from 1918, half cent from 1881 (canadian, british and Australian) And 50 cent Australian silver coin 1966 How and where i can cell my coins?

I have a 1983 d penny. How do I know if its worth anything more than one cent? Please and thanks. Ang.

Hey! I just wondered I have 1994 penny and the same details in the video, do you have any idea if it's valuable?

How about a rough estimate of value for a 1962 nickel full steps beautiful condition? Not sure what it would grade at but when i first saw it i thought it was a 90s-2000s at least nickel cause it was still so pretty. Got it for change at a gas station...

Wow 10 years now you’re rich thank you for all your knowledge big blue Victor love coins over here Massachusetts 10 years have been following your channel help me out you won’t be disappointed thank you

is it only the 1969 s that's a DD ? What is a good website to find out all cent variety's ? thanks for all the info you put out.your very knowlegable

I have four crisp one dollar notes I keep in a manila envelope, they look like mint condition. They are in two pairs and each pair has successive serial numbers. One right after the other in numerical order. Would they be worth anything together as the pairs?

yes they do. and or just grab 3 sticks and some string. and there you go! good luck!

I've found a lot of these close AM pennies. Different years, different conditions. Are they still worth something?

Your commentary is always pure gold

I really have learned a lot from you and do apprecieate your hard work getting this information out to those of us who are interested. I have actually made a few dollars from your videos. Don't stop. K Bowman

Unreal as soon as I got to your site for the 1992 close am I picked one up and it's in good shape. Thanks so much for the information

Wow...this is SO INTERESTING, question for you, if you dont mind sharing more of your expertise. I found two 1983 pennies. One looks brand new cooper color nice and shinny. Mint mark is "S" how do u know if its zinc? 2nd 1983 coin, is dark in color, looks old kinda, and the wierd thing is, i was trying to find the mint mark, and there is not where i think its suppose to be (underneath the date?) But what it appears to me, on the number 8 , in 1983, deems to look like the bottom loop on the 8 is

I have a 1894 indian head dbl die. where should I get it graded.

Do the CAMs happen in 2004 pennies cause I have one that I have compared to other pennies and the A and M seem noticeably closer.

9:33 You said that these are the more extreme type of coins one can find. Could you make a video of the more common varieties one can find in Lincoln cents? Thank you.

Have any of you seen the 2016 P dime with mint error at bottom of torch? I found 3 in some change. Any news on these?

hi Blueridge, i got a question for u. got a couple of 1983 penny but your picture on the video you played was too dark to recognize the details. is there anyway you can help out on that to get a better quality pics, please ty much Blue.

Thanks for the Video really Helps the New Guys Like me.

I had a 5 dollar gold coin. I forgot the year. I think 1919. Would it be worth something?

I found a 1955 double die penny and put it in a bag of pennies. My niece later stole them and sold them for face value!

I found a 199 quarter that has no 4 th digit , how much would that be worth ?

Let me say it is my first time roll hutting. my found also is 0.9g and has no rim on the penny 1977 is very light all of the penny is fine you would not know there is any thing wrong untill you pick it up. very light and no rim or edge . Thank you Going to the bank for more pennys JM

I was thinking that back in the 50's and 60's the 1914 D was the penny. So 1944 D pennies were changed to 14, so for this are there any steel 1914 D pennies? Just wondering

I have a 1993 D penny,the AM on the back are together...anything? thanks

Yes, I bought one from Ebay for very cheap.

do you have a pdf form i could down load as to what i should be looking for? as far as coins or even paper as well

I looked through more of my Lincoln pennies and i found one that was kind of dirty but the cool thing about it is that its dated 19911. I am thinking that it might be worth a pretty penny.

Does it have to be a 1992 close AM or can it be a 1996 close AM? I have a 1996 close AM. Very evident. I could try to send a picture maybe from my phone.

I have a close AM too after so many days of looking it's a 1998 is it rare too?

I have that sir.Pennies One Cent 1972,1975,1980,1982,1983,1992 no mint mark & close AM. & 2000

what you think about 1994 d wide AM? thanks

1953 error Lincoln cent , is it worth anything ?

Found a2008 aluminum penny I think looks like it around the outside rim wondering what the value might be

after watching this vid I looked at the 15 pennies that were in my pocket and out of those were a 2001D, 2002D,2004D, 2005 no mint mark and a1998 no mint mark. All of those were closed according to what was shown about the A and M. the probably are not even worth the one cent but could you let me know if it is worth the effort or should I just put them back with the others in my pocket.

I found a 1969 S doubled die couple of years ago and gave it to the coinstar! I did not know about varieties coins back then now, I'm much wiser!

i have 1992 plain,1992 D,also 1983 plain,1983D thanks for the info.

I have 1805 gold coin the obverse is like the Bust dollar, however the reverse is different.

Is there anyway you can show it closer?

i have some of these in many coins. whats the value?

Hey could you post a video what we might mistake for being a close AM? Awesome video as always

found a 1969 s the other day in change! Dont think its a double die, but it has errors from the mint on it. Also found a 2000 weak strike. Found a 1955 silver quarter in a roll, LUCK. And a ton of 30's wheat pennies.

im new to this hobby, but after finding the truth about pricing... its discouraging. Nobody wants to pay the prices you mentioned. or I just haven't found the right people.

l believe I got two 1970 quarters tell me where I go to get them graded I also have 1969d Penny's and 1955 DD penny

Hello I have been collecting coins for many years your videos have opened my eyes to looking thru coins that I otherwise would have not looked thru in the past never knew there were so many different double dies and error coins out there thank you so much I have 5 gallon water bottles full of older pennies nickels dimes and quarters I used to throw my spare change into them every day now I have a good reason to go thru them and see if I have some coins worth more then I thought thanks again and I hope to see more of your videos as they are very helpful to collectors like myself

I have that one 1992 d and the other one where do I sell them .thank u

Sean I got the 1958 nickel 1964 nickels two s/d a couple of wheat 🌾 pennies

i have one 1992,1992 D ONE CENT pieces. Are they worth that much money,and were do i sell?

Any zinc copper penny with damage of any kind (ding or chemical) will deteriorate quickly. If it is a valuable post 1982 penny - O would not trust ANY ZINC/COPPER PENNY to any PCGS/NGS/etc container. The container needs inert gas (like argon) injected before sealing and preferably some sort of vacuum sealing. Maybe PCGS/etc has this option available, but I have not heard that it is.

i have a 1993 that has the A and M are touching close to geather is mine worth anything??

I have some old cent coins 1969,1941,1951,1952,1953,1954 and 1960 to,1970. please guide me to whom i have to sell these. thanks

Hi I have a 1992 D in great condition,also think it is close AM. How can I go by getting it graded or sell as is for a good price?Please help me with this.

His videos are wonderful. Be grateful that he makes them rather than a rude prat because he isn't Mr. Spielberg.

I went to my local Numismatist, the guy I sell my sterling to and he said he doesn't do anything with rare dye stuff. What would you suggest? I really don't want to deal with ebay.

i have a 1854 S Double eagle $20 coin replica encapsulated and a 1933 saint- gaudens $20 coin replica encapsulated coin but i has copy on both coins how much are they worth

Gracias por su informecion Si fuera ranamable de decirme donde puedo vender mis coin en Ilinois.

i've pulled out a 1992 and a 1992 d that appear to have a close am now that you post this video im convinced they actually are.

I've found some weird stuff lately, north Dakota state quarter being one of the weird ones excellent shape looks like annealing problem but extremely clean piece shinny but dark. it's the only North Dakota I'm aware of like this. I haven't seen another online like it anywhere . I'm reaching out to you tube to find anyone that has this particular quarter like this..
