I'm a 24 year old Electrical Engineer who believes that with the money the FED is throwing at our economic problems silver will increase 3 to 4 fold in a few years. I remember when I was little I used to go through my dad's coins and save all the wheat pennies. If only I had saved pre 1964 because I'm sure there was a lot!!! Anyways, I started looking at coins again and ended up here! What an outstanding website, great to see people's finds. Anyways, for starters, two days ago I got $50 in dimes and $50 in quarters. no luck, although i found 2 or 3 bicentennials. Any 'collector' value here?
After reading on here it looks like I'd be better off looking through half dollars. I stopped by three banks yesterday and got $20 in pennies and at the third one got $72 worth of half dollars. For pennies, anything specific I should be looking for other than what? I know pre 1982 are 95% copper, but are there any specific coins that have decent flaws of worth?
I ended up finding a 1964, 1967 (3) and a 1969-D (1). Wheat wise I found 1942, 1952-D and 1955-D through half the rolls. Is it good to keep the 1976 Bicentennial half dollars? I found several but composition wise they are not silver. Any advice on half dollars / pennies and any other change would be greatly appreciated.
good luck
