Turns out the that the kaiser coins are pretty valuable. I guess if you find someone to buy them.. got some new rolls of 64 Kennedy half dollars and new ben Franklin's too. A bunch of walking liberty. Some gold marks. And some moderm silver proofs and a ton of other stuff.I'm not looking to sale anyway unless I find some $200,000 rare penny

Shortly coins will be extinct. I haven't used them in decades. Thanks to inflation they are not longer worthy of pocket space. I guess in a pinch a penny will work as a seventy amp fise.

It probably won't be long untill copper pennies are worth more than 1cent scrap weight. I dont think silver and gold will be losing their value anytime soon. It was neat learning a little bit about coin collecting. Pretty cool looking at old coins from all over the world. To many countries to list

Pennies used to be worth more than copper, but now they're copper clad zinc.

I have a complete penny collection and all the keys for a second. Book values are inflated 80-90% of actual retail and they have to be the nicest. People stopped collecting all but the finest and rarest. I cut mint state silver quarters into guitar picks. meh

Oh well. Just the gold and silver weight is worth quite a bit. Im going to hang on to them. I just checked completed ebay listing's and tried to compare coins of near the same condition. Even though I have zero clue how the grading works. I guess once the economy collapses I'll have some gold and silver to melt down into bullets :D

I made silver picks twice I loved them but can't seem to keep from losing them. Maybe I need to make a gold one :?
