  • This video is about an incredible haul of silver coins I just got. I did not get this at an estate sale or garage sale, but rather from a referral from someone I previously bought from. The guy I bought it from explained how he got the coins and they were actually buried underground for a decade. Watch the video to check out the amazing story and the amazing coins. Pretty stoked about the Morgan dollars, peace dollars, mercury dimes, standing liberty quarters, and more!

      If you know about aging paper you'd know that's atleast 5plus years old. I live in Cali my grandfather buries his and digs em up every few years change cloth wraps. As long as it's covered and in a cool dry spot in ground it's safer then your house.

    As Aidan said below, the approach with the Washington quarter album was to show the P issues' obverse-facing and the same year D ans S mint issues reverse-facing to identify the respective mintmarks. Not strange at all to do that, especially if all examples are of roughly the same overall grade.

    @9:43...that well-defined (unworn) expanded rim on the worn Lincoln cent...that's SOOO EASY to explain. The clue: If you look at the lettering on the reverse at the top ...it's right on the rim edge...someone put that worn Lincoln cent into machine that flattened the rim outward...so now the coin is physically smaller than one cent but with a well defined rim. Magic!
