Interesting...I inherited my fathers coin collection (he started in1950) ten years ago after his passing. I have yet to go through the thousands of coins and notes he had put into blue sleeves and/or wrapped in silk and cotton handkerchiefs, rolls, folders etc... in a custom locked wooden box he made just for his collection!. I think it's time for me to inventory this stuff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Thanks BlueRidge for another great video. Pocket change finds are what got me into the hobby and still keep me in it over 40 years later. Acquiring those rare coins from a dealer is okay but to me nothing beats the thrill of getting your hands dirty, going through lots of coins and finding "hidden treasure" yourself. See ya in the next one.
Since I happened upon your channel, I've been looking at every coin instead of throwing all change into the CoinStar machines for an Applebee's coupon. I can now afford to eat out a LOT more. Thanks for giving me a new retirement hobby
I actually found one of these in a alley underneath a chip bag the story is crazy I put it up not knowing until 4 months later when I started actually researching and studying coins. So I went back to my piggy bank and found the quarter again through a years worth of change and noticed I actually had a thin rim 1970 its really an exciting find.
Although you said this was a long video somehow it felt like you went through all of the varieties and errors rather efficently and made it not feel too long. Great job Shaun and thank you for all of the information and examples.👍
I have been trying to find if the Mark's on the 1979 SBA I have were genuine. They are like the "earring" mark on the quarter. Only there are 2 right next to each other. I have collected 3 similar coins. Been making me nuts. I need to have them examined. Pretty cool that I watched this video. I'm a newbie and have become obsessed. Been trying to learn. Still not sure of all the colorings? I have a lot of red pennies. Have even more of the brown/copper looking ones. Oh & I'm pretty sure I have a 1939 Henning I think it's called? It has no mark. It looks kind of pocked? It feels lighter, different. My 1941 has so many mistakes I need to write them down. I have h horrible penny that has a deep indentation in President Lincolns head. Then another that looks like Jeffersons forehead is growing a horn. That one looks like slag because on the back Montecello top is destroyed by an astoid. I have never examined my change before. Now I can't stop. I have I believe a one of a kind sacagawea. I saw similar ones yesterday on Utube but nothing exactly like mine. I have several nickels that the back's are about 10% - 15% rotated. It's a whole new world where the terminology is strange. Suppose I should buy a book. There's a whole lot for me to learn. I've watched about 60 hours of coin videos & instructions this last week alone. I'm going blind from squinting & checking out the coins on screen & going through the ones I had. I've used carelessly so much change over the years it's crazy. Never looked to hard. Guess it's never to late.
Nice report Shawn a couple of items I didn't know about. My biggest problem where I live is all banking is being done outside through the drive thru, no one allowed in accept by appointment for bank business,and they don't consider by rolls of change business and they can't send rolls through the system they have banking from your car. So no rolls in my area. Are others finding problems getting rolls also?
Man this is my new hobby thank you I'm about to make a lot of money off change I probably had so many of these my Grandpa gave me all his teams and I cash it all in kicking myself in the butt
@Joseph Gross - I'm not Shelly but I'd really appreciate a knowledgeable person's opinions on the coins specified on the video on my channel. Thanks in advance for any input you'd care to make regarding the few cherry-picked coins from a collection of maybe 3,000 wheaties and assorted others...or the reverse clad only of a buffalo nickel...no middle or obverse.
Good Afternoon! I really really enjoyed this video! TY! I was wondering, however, what these coins could have sold for IF they had been graded or are they really not worth it to have them graded? I have seen some of the coins (especially the 1999 Wide AM variety) sell for a lot more money than what was had by selling on eBay. I have a couple of the coins as shown, bit in MS condition. Thank you, again, Shawn ~ Always appreciate your sharing your knowledge and providing excellent examples of each & every coin/bill! It makes it Soooo much easier to know what you are looking for & where to look. Looking forward to your next vid! Take care & have a great day!
It can cost anywhere from $20- 10% of the value to have a coin graded. If the coin won't sell for at least the cost of grading it, it's really not worth it. 🤷
I've seen and read,about dime stock planchett, used on quarters, but I didn't think that there were as many as you showed here. Pretty cool. Good video. 👍
Hi Shawn, long or short, you always deliver and I'm always learning! I have a request, I'm in Seattle and think it would be cool to see a video of just Denver minted errors, since they're the majority of coins on the Westcoast, What do you think? Take care
I just wanted to let you know I enjoy watching your coin video I appreciate you telling it like it is with the folks like it or not I think your knowledgeable on the coin subject and you're very informative and I hope you continue producing your coin videos!
I work behind a cash register all day long. I accept coins and break open rolls of coin daily. During the past few weeks, every roll of dimes and quarters I break open I find that 75% of the coins are heavily damaged. I mean they look like they went into the garbage disposal under the sink. Dents, gouges, bents, badly worn. Every roll. Pennies and nickels are fine. Pennies are all new 2020’s. But dimes and quarters insanely damaged.
I’m new to this coin collecting thing as I recently inherited my dads coin collection I’m so confused on when to get them graded when not too and how do I even sell them.... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks so much for the class. You are an interesting teacher and I appreciate all of the extra information you provide with each coin. You are the bomb. Keep up the good work. Thanks again. JeAnna
Jimmy from Kansas city,I have a 1945 "D" wheat cent that the reverse is double stamped. And you don't need an eye glass to see it. I've searched every where and can't find one like it. Do you know anything about it
I learned so much in this video thank you. . Some of the things you point out how do you know it is not from being in circulation . Every time I thought I found an error I get told that very thing.
You don't have to apologize for anything you do or say on your videos you are the man ! you're very informative , very knowledgeable about what you're talking about and you tell it like it is I love all your videos. keep up the good work.
very common error in clean condition up around the $10-$20 range check ebay sold listings. coin value is not based on how much someone wants but what someone has paid for one in like condition.
Like your shows hi I'm Leland Wagner, from Arizona. I have a big question to ask, how do I go about selling a 1969s penny. Or what you think? where should I start
Shawn, excellent video! Thanks for sharing! I need to watch all your other videos. I was taking copious notes! Question: Would US Mint Proof Sets have some of these "errors" or "irregularities" in those coins also? Thank you!
Yes... proof sets have errors as well. They're actually struck harder and more times, so they could potentially have more errors in a batch than the ones intended for circulation. 😉
I have a question please as I'm new to the coin collecting ....I have a 1994 quarter with D over P mint Mark and I believe the highest grade for this year in like 67+...I think mine is way better it just may get a 69 or 70 ...
I just found an error on a 2020 American Samoa Quarter, a line going through the date that is obviously a mint error. Does anyone know anything about this ?
Great video I'm really mad at myself I have had 2 of those really thin 1970 quarters and never knew they were struck on dime error 😰 at least I know now thanks 👍
Shawn I am a new collector and as we speak have more than a gold mine of a variety of coin that by watching you and studying know that are well saut after
There is no coin shortage anymore. Banks will order whatever you want with one caveat, they don’t want them back at their branch. That is fair. I have a bank where I have built rapport with the cash manager. During the coin shortage, they we told to buy boxes of half dollars. Customers didn’t want them and they were taking up valuable coin budge. Over7 weeks, I eliminated the 7 boxes they had. Now, they call me if they get in coin rolls from their customers that aren’t roll hunters. My first call yielded 57 quarter rolls (from 3 customers) an 12 dime rolls. The first roll had a silver quarter. I have 37 rolls left and I have found some excellent coins. So take the time to build relationships....
LOL " hello Shawn, i hope you, and your family are all doing well. You asked how your video was liked , brother, imma" go on and tell ya LOL " myself, i like the heck out of it, but yo" what's not to like about it? It's a super bunch of fun, with a educational twist, that's aimed at two of the most important points of interests in today's society "Financial gain and of course everyone's favorite (Money) LOL " Like i said "what's not to like about this video, are any of your Videos for that matter. You got it going on good brother, and you no something else, i never doubted you for a second, so keep on keeping on Mr, BlueRidgeSilverHound, and Thank you for all you give my friend. Have a fantastic weekend
We have several error coins we just don't know where to sale them or where to take them. We can't trust the pawn broker in this area. What should we do?
Awesome video. Not too long. Enjoyed the exploration. Were there wide AM pennies in 1970’s? I definitely see the space. 1971 D for example. Was that common and then changed? I heard you say wide AM was 1999-2000. And have you seen a 1966 quarter with front die alignment off or double printed creating a second circle that cuts thru the Liberty letters and the date? I have one I noticed looking thru coins while listening to this video.
Like that offset $1 bill, I have a $20 similar to it. But some idiot that had it before me, took the 20 strip out of it. It's the $20 design before the new ones.
@@TheTrueSonOfFire don't take the chip in your hand or forehead for no reason. It will damn all who do. Revelation says all who do will go to hell. Please accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord now. Read Acts 2 . They all were baptized in Jesus Christ name emediately after accepting him as Lord. Trust in him and he will keep you. Don't panic if you lose your home or car. Let God help you. Because no one will be able to eat or get gas without the chip. Please pass this on.
I collect avidly and have every dang book you can think of from red blue to strike it rich and other cherry pickers books,and I can’t ever find anything on two things prices are usually In books are VF, and ms65! But even my error books don’t show me why on the back of Lincoln memorial cents where it says United States of America it’s very common I find that The first “s”or states and the “Es”and the “of” is literally arresting gone with the naked eye but with a 5x mag or better yet 10x mag with lights on both you can see it look like grease error or light strike but idk how that would make sense if the rest of the words are very clear also I find that when read liberty on any older coin the L appears gone and it doesn’t appear slicked .
What's up with the new 2021 Penny's cause I have gotten a whole roll with no mint mark at all on any of them and if I open the other rolls I have and I find that all are 2021 bet I'll take them back.
Does a coin have to be graded to be sold for a decent profit? I mean i know graded coins are usually more excepted but do they HAVE to be graded to get these kind of values? I have a dime that i got out of a coin roll it had what i think is a cud that looks kinda like lightning on the obverse side on the head. So I'm wondering about the sale value of it.
Hi I found a weird coin. It is a 2009 saqagwea $1 gold coin. the weird thing about it is the date that is on the rim is 2008 p .(2009 is the first year they started to put the date on the rim) I was wondering if you have ever seen this error before?
I made a mistake that I am hoping that nearly all green horns make. I cleaned my coins in a solution that turned out can take the luster right off . Sure loses character when they all look the same.
I John purchased a box of 2020 pennies, full box n every roll on both ends are damaged by packaging I think. Just wondering if there is any value to this packaging ???
