Ya that does typically face value means what it is worth in USD. So when you had said you found 2405$ of quarters face value, i was like damn....thats like a wheelbarrow full of silver !

But I see you meant 2405$ melt value at the time, gotcha! But regardless still an awesome find!

Re: Forget my day job, I'm CRHing

I think more & more people will be trying this in the future as silver, copper and nickel prices continue to rise and jobs and the economy get worse - at least as a source of pt income. Even better than halves I think nickels and cents offer the best source of steady finds. Right now silver nickels are worth about $2.50 each and it was just less than 2 years ago they were worth around $1 each and it won't be long before they will be worth $5 or more. I seem to find about 1 silver nickel in about every 10 rolls or so. I think this good ratio is because they minted so damn many of them - hundreds of millions thankfully.

Anyway if silver doubles again (which may not be too much longer) silver nickels will be worth about $5 each. Thanks an incredible 100 x fv. If you search 10 boxes a week (500 rolls - $1000 fv) you could find about 50 silver nickels which would have an intrinsic value of $250. That's $1000 a month - a nice supplement income or sole source of income if you need it.

Copper prices are down a little lately but copper cents will likely be back to $.03 each again and will eventually go much higher as all commodities continue to rise. Copper cents are much easier to find than silver coins and when they are worth around $.05 each (just for copper memorial) you could easily make another $100 or more a week with copper cents. And as commodity prices go even higher - so would your income. And as inflation is increasing your income would also be increasing while most people's income who are getting paid in increasingly worthless dollars would be decreasing.

In addition to being an enjoyable hobby this is also a worthwhile and financially timely one as well.
