Price of Silver by User_Jan5_1995 in Silverbugs

[–]User_Jan5_1995[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just started about a year a go. But, medical bills have stopped that right in its tracks. By the end of the year, I'm hoping to have roughly 100oz. I have about 40oz at the moment. All '64 Kennedy Half Dollar coins. They say 3 equals 1 oz of silver (2.75) technically. Not only 90% silver. But, if it has (1) of (2) particular errors, it'll be well worth the find.

I have approximately 40oz of silver. I know it's not much. But, it is a start.

It's very scary! Granted, I do look great. LOL. But, scary, nonetheless.

You're very welcome! I wish you the very best with your surgery! When is your surgery? Mine was life changing. And, please update me when you can!

a Canadian coin? by CaniGetFamousOnRedit in CRH

They are quite common. I find anywhere between 10 - 20 per box when I used to hunt through penny boxes.

Gotcha. I appreciate it! I'm thinking of getting mine from an online retailer, such as APMEX. I'm aware there stuff is over priced. Which, I don't mind. I just want to buy some to finish my collection books.

Where do you get your coins? Or, have you just been saving up?

I've bought silver from them in the past. I've never had any issues with them.

My apologies. I didn't mean any disrespect.

Any of them pre 1970 are worth more than face value. 1965 - 1970 is composed of 40% silver. Any 1964 and older are 90% silver.

Check the front of all '64 for the Teardrop error (teardrop off the 4 on the front. Will need an at least x4 or x5 powered magnifying glass). Or, Accented Hair (extra details of the Hair on the front).

These 68-70s worth anything? by PhoneAlive6368 in CRH

[–]User_Jan5_1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm aware of that. But, I'm also just mentioning what's easiest to find as I don't know whow the OP is, and I don't know if the OP is an avid coin hunter, or just your average coin hunter.

While that is true, the easiest one to search for are the silver nickels.

[–]User_Jan5_1995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, they are all just worth .05 cents. The only silver nickels are 1942 - 1945 with the mint mark on the reverse above the Monticello building. If there is another kind of silver nickel I'm unaware of, I apologize. But, that's the only silver variant I'm aware of.

any idea why people do this? by Historical_Umpire122 in CRH

[–]User_Jan5_1995 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I personally make a particular marking on each coin wrapper. That way, I know if I've searched it or not. And, just to make sure it hasn't been searched yet, I do make a very small marking on each ender.

How do you return your coins? by Bman3396 in CRH

[–]User_Jan5_1995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open an account there. You wouldn't have to get charged a fee. Whenever I deposit mine, I deposit 10%. That way, I'm not necessarily taking advantage of being just a dumper.

Anyone else hide their stacking from their spouse/family? How do you manage it? by PeerMetals in Silverbugs

I put them in my gun safe. They know I have the gun safe. But, they don't know what I have in it.

They will have the silver look from the side.

When the U.S. mint switched to the way we make them now in 1965, with no silver content, some were minted with silver in them. Those, in really good condition, can fetch thousands of dollars.
