HOW TO FIND PRE-1964 SILVER COIN FOR FACE VALUE!!!!

This is a practice that I call coin hunting.  A lot of people think that this is crazy, but I have actually accumulated about one half of my collection this way. When I was a kid I used to go along to all of the liquor stores and ask them for any coins. Most would have none or they would say that they just turn them all into the bank. Every so often though, I would come across an owner who would pull out a sack and let me have at it. Some store owners were smart and actually would look up the value of their coins, the majority would have no clue what they had. They only kept the coins because they looked old or they noticed that they were different from the normal copper clad coins common in circulation. Like clockwork every one of them would ask why I wanted these coins and what I was doing with them. I would reply I’m saving them for college’ or some other non sense. I would always walk away paying no more than three times face value for pre-1964 U.S silver coin. One time I came across a store owner in the tenderloin part of San Francisco who had over two thousand dollars of silver coin that he had held over the years. I bought it all off of him for two times face value. I actually had to sell some of it in order to get the funds to purchase the rest of it. I loved walking out of the coin shop after selling one hundred dollars worth of coin for over twelve hundred, considering I only paid two hundred dollars for it. Almost fifty year’s later it is amazing that silver  coins are still floating around circulation. Look if I can do it anybody can., be creative. Look on craigslist, newspaper classifieds, garage and estate sales, auctions, and many more places. Ask friends and family if they have any old coins or currency that they would like to part with. You just might be surprised with the response that you hear. Good luck to everyone and happy hunting!!
