This past Sunday I went to the first coin show in the area since before the start of Covid. The Indian Head cents were bought with money I scooped out of Coinstar machines in 2020. The 1854 Large Cent, The 1926-S Oregon Trail Half Dollar, The 1927 Vermont Half Dollar and the 1936-S Arkansas Half Dollar were paid for with clad finds from 2019 and 2020.

In the early 80’s when I first started detecting I also used my found change to buy good old coins. It was a great investment and the coins are in far better shape than anything I could have dug.

Nice investment
Thank you.....

Like you, I started detecting in the 80's (1983) and have been spending all my clad finds on coins. I also agree that the bought coins are in FAR better shape than the dug ones.

That's an excellent way to spend the clad coins that you find. I do the same.

Thanks Trezurehunter.....it's nice to turn ordinary clad into something a lot better looking.
