AWESOME!
bro I was searching for copper pennies in 1988 no lies.
Because ppl are thinking you can find a super rare coin in a regular roll.
Have you ever gotten a Belizean Quarter, similar to the Cayman islands quarter.
I used to sort and roll change for my wife (she worked for a charity and one of their fundraisers involved giving people a bottle to collect their change and donate it at the end of a month). I'd spend time in the evening and/or weekends putting it through the machine and rolling if for here, but I'd get a chance to keep my eye open for odd coins. I pulled out anything odd and replaced it with regular money. I did find a 1898 penny (not much value but interesting) and once a quarter from the Isle of Man. I didn't even know they had their own currency, but it was sorted with the quarters and had the 3 armored legged symbol on the coin. I gave it to an artist friend of mine that had actually made a painting of that symbol. Fun stuff!
As an apartment manager… I recommend going to an older building and asking if the manager collects the quarters each month. Offer him cash for his quarters in trade.. you might get a deal for hunting!
Sad thing, most apartments have transitioned to tokens or reloadable cards. Quarters are so much easier for laundry.
Mysterious coin is at 17:10. Very neat!
Thanks
THANK YOU
Much appreciated, I’m not the biggest coin guy, didn’t even know it was a genre but I wanted to get to the spice of this video real quick.
thanks 😹
**salutes** thank you!!
I pulled some change out of my pocket a few years ago and dropped a quarter on the tile floor in my kitchen. It made a distinct sound. I bent down and picket it up a discovered it was a 1944 quarter. I have always been looking for pre 65 quarters. It made my day. I've since found a 64 quarter too.
Unfortunately, when these coins are rolled at the mint or wherever the money is distributed by a given state, the employees there get first pick. They tend to take all of the old coins you would look for, so finding some is rare. If you wanna look, ask for customer rolled coins, people tend to not realize what they have and give it to the bank to be deposited
Ummm no, because they would no longer be employees. Strictly hands off in both places
@@joehughes5177 false, they switch out with regular quarter. If they collect that is, which I’m sure plenty do.
Fast forward to 17:10 you're welcome. what a surprise.
Thanks
Although I'm sure that it's been said before, if you ask your viewers, I'm sure that they will send you the quarters you lack. Most of us who like collecting, like it when a collection gets that much closer to completion, even if it's not our collection. It's just really neat to see a complete collection.
First time here... love the excitement on each roll opening. I have a full roll of silver quarters and half dollars. The quarters came from my teenage job at a small retail store where I asked the manager if I could buy the roll and she was happy to let me buy them at face value.
Not all 1968 Canadian Quarters are 99.9% nickel. They were also minted in 50% silver and if memory serves me right, some were even 80% silver in that year. The same is true of dimes from Canada.
Y'know, I'm finna stick around. Subbed.
Lol
The machine wrapped roles generally spit out the foreign coins before rolling.
The Cayman island coin is made in Canada. The Royal Canadian Mint has made coins for 73 countries.
Back in the 80s I thought I’d get a roll a week when I cashed my check so I could perhaps find some older silver and early JFKs and the first week I scored about 10 in the first roll. That was it. Went the rest of the year with nothing.
I once found a quarter with two heads on it. I freaked out! I thought I hit the jackpot. Upon further inspection, it was actually a trick quarter that someone machined out the tails and inserted a head. It was really convincing. I was crushed!
O.O.F
I was disappointed when I found out wheat stalk pennies are almost worthless, but I love them
Yo u lucky
Bummer!!
23:31 Quinn, in the roll with the penny, after counting just the quarters, there are 40 of them. You made profit on this roll!!!
Omg thank you for confirming that 😄 usually you end up losing in situations like this, so I’m glad that we actually gained for once!!
I've had the spitting horse coin since it came out. Was a cashier at truck stop and was interested in coins at the time. Saw and kept it all these years!
It was crazy what people would give you for money. I think I had a 1950's area $20 bill that came through. A couple of star notes. and a 1928 $2 bill that I still have. Older people would come in for coffee and use money they've probably had sitting in their dresser drawers for 70 years.
How crazy I just found a Penny in my quarter roll hunt tonight! I hope I didn't get robbed of 24¢
In case you didn't know, the more understated the crown on the Queen, the older the coin... Also they remodel her from time to time so young Queen on Canadian coins are your target :)
I found a King George VI penny recently while looking through some change, which was pretty cool
I didn't even know this was a thing, OK the silver ones that is worth a little more, but the ones to fill up the series is still only worth face value (or slightly more)?
If a couple of coinsorters like you just sorted any half-rare doublets into jars and sold them for $1 to other collectors, they would fill their books pretty fast.
Fun fact, a Swedish Artist made 10 solid gold coins and snuck 9 of them out in circulation (we have a gold coloured coin), it was significantly heavyer, but identical. 8 of them is still in circulation as far as known (one was found by a taxi driver who noticed the weight)
I just found your channel, good videos :) I used to work for Pizza hut as a driver and I would get a lot of old coins. people would roll coins to pay at the door with so I'd have to carry bankrolled coins to match them up to "I'd keep them in my car and get them when I needed them' But I now have around 75 buffalo nickles and I have a lot of old coins pre 60's. My oldest is a penny minted in the 1800s. I had a kid pay with rolls quarters one day and about an hour later his father came up flipping out because his son took them from his desk drawer. I never open the roll but found out they were worth 25 per coin. He threaten to have me arrested if I didn't give him the quarters back lol I told him he can have them back, but I need 43.00 for the food his kid ordered, he refused, so I refused to give them to him. Cops came and told him he has to pay for the pizzas before he caught his coins back or His 11-year-old son would go to jail for theft of the coins and pizzas. By the time this happened 2 hours later, he only got back one full roll and half of the other. one of the phone girls broke one open lol
Interesting! Just starting to coin collect and have a general question. After these hunts and picking out the most desirable finds, what do you do with the rest of the coins? Do you go back to the bank and cash out, etc.
That or his local grocery hate him.
I think he just roll them back and deposit it and ask for new rolls
I deposit them at a different bank using a coin counter. I actually answer that question and a lot of others in this video: ua-cam.com/video/fH7Q8ntlWJY/v-deo.html
@@QuinsCoins Thanks for the quick reply and pointer to the other video!
Car wash and laundry mat time
Bring back the metal detecting series please, I'm so addicted!
I intend to, but right now it just isn’t possible because the ground is frozen in my part of the country
@@QuinsCoins I have a handful of coins from the 13 colonial period in an old leather bag. What are coins worth like that. Grandpa collected them way back in early 1900,s or his father collected them before him. Very interesting coins forsure.
I work retail and look at the edges all the time found 4 silver dimes and three silver quarters from the 30's. I always keep some change in my pocket so my drawer is always on. I've also got two 1900 pennies and a 5 dollar united states note.
I'm a coin collector I love old coins I also have an 1899 Indian head penny one silver dollars 1923 and three silver half dollars from 1964 and one silver from 1965
Cayman island quarters, the newer ones, are nickel plated steel.
Thanks for the info!
I always check my stacks of quarters and dimes by looking at the edges to see if they're all solid silver or copper sandwich material. Silver quarters also make a ping sound when you drop them on a table as opposed to the metallic clink of the copper sandwich quarters.
When I was making a purchase at a store once and the clerk handed me change a quarter dropped and hit the counter top. As soon as it did I realized it was silver just by the sound and I said "ooh silver". The clerk asked me how I knew and I showed them the edge of the silver and non silver quarters and dropped each on the counter top.
Nice! Once i bought a roll of quarters from my work and there were only 3 or 4 quarters that werent silver. It was a good day!
My dad had a Vending business an when we would Roll the Quarters you can hear the Silver ones clanging around ..👍👍
I've gone through a lot of quarters. I have never pulled a W. Thanks for another great video!
That’s too bad! I’ve found a couple, but none in a while. I’m hoping I stumble onto another one soon. Good luck on your next roll!
When I've gotten boxes I haven't ever found one. The other day I only had a 20 dollar bill in my wallet when I passed my bank. I grabbed 2 rolls and of course that's when I finally find one.
I've started roll hunting only since covid. After withdrawing $100.00 rolls of quarters, nickels and Penny's, I've been fortunate to find one W in my quarter rolls. The other, I found while playing cards.
I used to silver hunt when I worked at an airport retail stores. Most of the time what I thought was silver ended up being Canadian or from the Bahamas. My best find was a gold plated quarter. It was some special minting that someone decided to spend.
typically when special coins like that appear, its from a collection that was stolen and broken apart by the idiot thief and spent.
sometimes its teenage kids that get into a grandparents collection or someone that isnt too bright and doesnt care inherits them and spends them without checking them out.
Engrave on your collectibles if lost call this number
That black 67 looked like a juke box coin. Back in the day in restaurants with juke boxes, the staff would like to lay music after hours or occasionally to remind the guests that there was a juke box. They would color the coins they used so that when the coins were taken from the juke box the colored coins would be returned to the staff.
Well, good on you. Real difficult to get coinage right now that banks are limiting purchase supplies because of shortage. Local businesses are often requesting exact change when possible.
I've dabbled in coin collecting several times but just ones I found by chance here and there through the years, so I find this fascinating to watch. If you told someone you really enjoyed watching a man sorting change for 40 minutes, they'd think you were high. 🤣🤣🤣
To be fair I am high
Same lol 😂
Not high, i do drink beer and love looking through coins.
Every time I pick up a roll like you do, half of them end up on the floor. Scares the hell out of the 😺.🐎✌️
Sounds like you could use a Quin’s Coins coin roll hunting placemat! 😄 www.quinscoins.com
Thanks for this, I had no idea that some of these newer coins had value! I collect bicentennial quarters just because I like them & '65 quarters because they look good & it's the oldest zero value quarter. When I was a child we occasionally found silver 50 cent, quarters & Mercury dimes, Indian Head pennies, wheat stalk pennies were fairly common. Mercury dimes were the first to disappear from circulation. It was so simple and so exciting for a kid.
I bought a quarter book from a second hand store it had quarters in it that were more than the value I paid, oops
Big like my friend! Thank you so much for sharing! Excellent video
"MYSTERIOUS COIN" 17:00
Wow! Fascinating!
My first visit here, very glad I saw this. Always fun to watch folks that know what they're doing, great job!
Please carry on!
great finds today. I have been filling up my quarter books fast on my tuesdays coin roll hunt show. working on filling up the Denvers. this is a great hobby, love finding foreign coins, even though we can't use them!
I have a tip that can help clear a lot of the dirt that is on the coin. If you have a pencil eraser, you can usually get rid of the vast majority of the dirt that is on the coin. However, I am not sure what would be safe to get the harder to remove areas of dirt that would be on a coin.
The roll holder is a sweet idea. Looks great on video!
Thank you JD! I realized I needed something like that after spilling multiple hand wrapped rolls of dimes. Turns out the product I was looking for already existed. Made it nice and easy 😄
You know one of the rarest coins to find is a 1943 copper penny. Last I checked one is worth $30,000
That's a bit of a sleeper
I have two how do I sell them?
@@jerryn7303 you have 2, 1943 copper pennys?
Those are two of the rarest American coins in the world. In 1943 they were all made of steel so they could use the copper for the wiring for World War II. Except for a 3in piece of copper stock that was still left in the machine. There used to be a real rich guy that collected almost all of them. He is the one that gave them the $30,000 value cuz that's what he is willing to pay to own them all
I work as a cashier I had no idea there's a whole thing for collecting coins.... I'll keep my eyes peeled for interesting coins
First video I have watched of yours and I really enjoyed it. After watching I of course had to see what quarters I had around. Wouldn't believe it all Detroits haha I was like no way after flipping three in a row. Anyway keep up the good work. I'm going to your website and start collecting myself. Thank you
Cheers from southwest Indiana. Am watching Quin’s Livestream 3/11/23 on TV so I got my iPad on now and subbed. I just got back into messing with my coins after a decades long lay off. I’ve been watching your show on tv in another part of house. Thanks for info. Been collecting since age 4. Never had anybody to learn from through all of them years. I used to drive banks etc nuts buying coin rolls.
Customer rolled coins are hard to find in my area. The banks empty them into their counters before accepting them looking for slugs and other worthless stuff.
this popped up on my algorithm
i popped the like button under this video
And I just popped the heart button on your comment! 😄
All of us kids used to collect and bury silver coins (or what we thought should be 'silver' coins because they were different in appearance from the usual coins and thus 'exotic'), in small jars around a shallow pond in the forest up at my grandparents farm.
Then we would build a ship (raft) to sail on 'the ocean' and land on the far side of the world and dig up the buried 'pirate treasure'. We buried crap loads of coins, especially any foreign coin because they were the most exotic.
As I watch this video, I think a few of these coins look familiar to the ones in the buried booty. If you ask me, I'd say that's just 'money well spent'.
'Yaarrrrrr!' ⚓🗡️🏴
I have a few pre 1965 silver quarters. They are still floating around. Question how do we know they are actually silver? The US bureau of mint stopped the silver coins half way through 1965 July 23rd
Which is the best way to test them ?
Nice video. Will enjoy wearing the hat and getting questions from all my coin collecting friends! Be well.
Thank you so much for your order and your support, I really appreciate it!! 😄
Thought I had a high relief 1922 silver dollar! Till I put my glasses on lol !
Fun fact. There is no White Mountain in NH.
The coin depicts Mount Washington.
Have you ever come across a roll of quarters to where one end showed nothing on it on one side? I never had the chance to open it up. Don't have it no more.
No I haven’t, but that sounds like it could have been either a blank quarter planchet, or a damaged coin. A blank planchet would be awesome!
I just found a 1960 silver canadian quarter in roll hunting and it looked old but wasn't, nice show keep it up man.
Australian and New Zealand (the old cupro nickel ones) are the same size as US quarters. Well they worked in the Airport vending machines. They were worth about 6 cents US.
Good Tip 👍
Where do you get your boxes of coins? I got a box from my bank once and they were all uncirculated from the mint
I actually found a wilderness 2019 W mint a few months ago in my pocket change. I'm always checking my pocket change and bills for something worth saving.
Why did I watch this at 1 am ?
NO Regrets
I now know why there is a coin shortage, this guy has them all.
Hi I stumbled across you channel and honestly I can’t believe how interested I was In watching you look through these coins even though we have totally different coins (Australian)
it's fun watching this. I wonder if you'd benefit from a printout of what you need as a quick reference instead of flipping through the books?
I must say this is the first time I've watched your videos. And I already love them! Keep it up bro.
16:50 what you most likely came for
thanks
Morning Quin's Coins
Thank You Quin's Coins
Great video. I love me some quarters. I just got done collecting the 1932 ( PDS) thru 2021 (PD). It's been a joy. Now I'm making an album of Bicentennial ones.
Wow, great accomplishment! I am sure that I will be stuck on 1932-1964 for quite some time
8:18 killed me lol
This is awesome. I have a complete U.S. quarter album from 1999 to 2008. It's small but I like if. Good luck on finding what you need.
Interesting video. I never considered saving newer coins. You have sparked an interest in looking for the sets of coins.
i love how enthusiastic hes is about this
GO WITH THAT GLOVE WHERE EVER ONE HAD NO GLOVE ON WHEN THEY HAD IT LOL
I look at the sides of the coin to tell if it's silver or not just got a silver quarter the other day they have a distinct sound too
A single color on the side of a US Quarter or Dime indicates a single metal. The only time there was a single metal in Quarters and Dimes is when those coins were Silver.
Interestingly the note about Canadian quarters being pure nickel from 1968-1999 is not entirely true. The first half of 1968 they minted quarters that were 50% silver before switching to the nickel quarters in the second half of 1968. I use the silver 1968 Canadian quarter as my flipping coin as it seemed appropriate to use a 50% silver 50% copper coin that was only minted for 50% of the year as my 50/50 coin.
Haha I love it! I have had several chances to get a 1968 silver Canadian quarter in this series alone, but they have always ended up being nickel unfortunately. That is one of the few scabrous where the magnet test actually applies!
Good "ping" too!
i was never really into coind but somehow i found this interesting
Watching this at 430am in wescansin lol the way he says wisconsin you can definitely tell he isn't from here. Thanks for the content. Kind of makes me want to collect again.
I found a 1897 quarter in my change that I got back from a gas purchase. Very Cool coin. 🤓
Soo glad found your channel a few days ago. Ignited hobby again! Bought 3xrolls of nickels what the hey, found a 1943-s nickel what luck!! Awesome hunting Q thank you!!
Wow that is definitely very lucky, nice work! I hope you find more in the future!
Congratulations on just three rolls!!!!
I'd like to collect the wheat pennies usually you get the average about 15 wheat pennies in a Box
Oh, cool, my moms been collecting since the 80s well since she's been in the banking industry. She's got an insane collection. What's one of your most insane coins you have?
Isn't that an expensive way of finding them? I know it's fun my mom did it but we buy our sets every year in Canada in mint untouched at the post office or online.
Not really! It actually doesn’t cost me anything other than time and gas money!
I miss quarters. In The Netherlands we used to have quarters before the Euro was introduced (forced upon us).
Love it. However. I live in New Hampshire. About 2 miles away from the mountain on the coin. It's called Mount Chocorua. That's also Chocorua lake in front of it. It's part of the White Mountains. Whoever designed it forgot the, "s." It's an error without being an error.
I wish I could hunt quarters, the banks are just out of them. Cool hunt, thx
You know I actually haven’t tried to get quarters in a really long time. I’ve been living off of the same two boxes for a while. But I am out now, so we will see if I’m able to pick up another the next time I try. I hope I can because they are a lot of fun! And I hope you can soon too!
Now a days, I ask for $100.00 or whatever you have that you can give me.
Yep, the banks claim we are in a National Coin Shortage... Again. Won't give more than 2 rolls to customers
i have a 1943 quarter and some other coins my grandpa gave me. happy i found your page.
I have no interest in coin collecting but here I am, and Im not complaining.
Excellent Collection, *Congratulations!*
I used to have a near complete little set with every state that took my family years to do haha its great to see other coin collectors. Nowadays I like having oddball foreign coins more than domestic one
I have found the spitting horse quarter!
Lol I work at culvers and I take peoples cash at the drive-through and I have found some Canadian coins like you did in the video. Sometimes people pay with gold dollars, silver dollars and even 2 dollar bills. When they do I swap them out with money from my wallet and add it to the collection:)
Hey Quin! I’m happy to see your video. I also found a blank penny planchet in a coin star.
Wow, sweet find!!
I gotta ask do you have a link to purchase those quarter books in particular? I love how they're set up.
That 1971 is tough from circulation. I've been looking for a decent one for about 6-7 years.
Yeah I really didn't think I'd be stuck on a 1971! Lol
I took a vacation a few years ago to Winnipeg , Manitoba Canada.
I went to their mint and took the tour.
They make coins for like 90 countries INCLUDING the USA. The USA coins are "blanked out" and then shipped to a USA mint to be "struck" on US soil.
While there at the mint in Canada I got to hold the Canadian bar of gold.
Pretty neat place.
If you want Canadian coins, go to Texas in January. Lots of them fly here for the winter.
Dang I have a Denver Sand dunes, sitting on my coffee table.
I do the final close out at work and one night I was counting the quarters and one particular one made a completley different sound from the others when dropped on the counter. Upon closer inspection, it was from the 1940s and of course I bought it.
I’ve always collected coins to a point. I haven’t deliberately hunted. I’ve got some pretty interesting ones. A Half Dime that I got with change in a little store when I was in high school’96. Kinda my start point. About 2 years ago, I was trying to separate a clean out bag from selling my rig. Screws, nuts/washers spilled in the bag so I took my magnet out to make quicker work of it. It was when a Canadian coin came up I had the wtf moment. Instant google. Who knew? It got me lol. You don’t know about these kind of things until you know. Floored me kids too. Yes I’m small town. But it made me smile and I realized that I missed those coin finds that you don’t see too often. Little excitement with coin finds. Boarding addiction. But there’s worse addictions. So I’m good
Wow, a half dime in change…that is one I have never heard before! Did they treat it as a nickel or a dime when they gave it to you? I don’t know what someone could be thinking giving that back as change 😆 I’m glad it got you started collecting coins and I’m happy to hear that you are still enjoying the hobby!
@@QuinsCoins I got it as a dime. Still a size difference lol. The store itself was an old mom and pops owned place. Both were pretty old.
I was watching another video last night about 2021 pennies going through change in my purse and I came across some interesting pennies. I don’t know if it’s because I’m west coast or not but I found 2 pennies. 1-2021 with “In God We Trust” almost off the top. And a 2020 with a a round groove I suppose right in the middle. The center top, front, has a gouge on the side and between God and We is a raised dot. Like a period. Both in beautiful shape. I’ve never looked into value for any that I have. I’ve just collected them for the coolness, conversation and history. Might have to see about the two pennies at least though. Totally wish I could post you a picture here though. Awesome purse finds for sure!
Ha
I used to be the quarter king of Portland Oregon. I mastered the hack of abloy keyed laundry vaults. Did that for 5 years. 2 years picking ace lock bell shaped vault. 3 years of abloy, made keys for 26 apt complexes. Fun fact I learned, 1 cup of dimes is equal to 1 cup of quarters. An evil man turned me in and I just dropped it where it was and worked in engineering. Now retired from 40 years in engineering
I sold all kinds of old coins for quite a bit of money when I was younger. It was dumb bc I didn't take the time to research them as good as I should have. Now I just hold back silver coins. My mom always told me that if I could find a 75 quarter that it was worth thousands. Idk but I've looked for 1 my whole life and nvr came across 1 so she was obviously correct about them being rare but not sure if they're actually worth thousands 🤔 I heard they stopped making them after a few were stamped.
Hey! I had a quarter when I was really young and some cashier told me that it was really heavy and that I ought to keep it. I can’t remember, but I think it had a guy with lasso on it in the form of states our provinces. Do you know what it might have been? It was the exact same shape as a quarter and also looked like one as well.
That was fun to watch👍
Thank you Quinn!

Just wondered if in searching nickels you run across any of the wartime nickels, 1942 to 1945?
Awesome video, never been into neither coin-collection nor any collecting at all. After watching your video, I'm really considering starting a collection of some kind! ;D
