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!!
