  • 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!

      I totally agree with you that the box does not look like it had been buried for nearly a decade.

      @@Silverpicker That I might believe if it was dry enough.
      I've been metal detecting for almost 40 years.
      I've found quite a few goodies hidden in crawl spaces too.

      up to these day
      British monarch can be found on various countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand
      Cus we're part of Commonweath Realm
      which mean our head of the government is Queen Elizabeth II
      but because queen or any british monarch will reign UK have less power now than before

    That box buried under ground with paper in it and the paper is ok! Now most people would say that there is no way that box was in the ground for 10 years! But if it was buried under a house in a barn in Arizona wrapped in plastic then this could be true! I have a question is the 75% you paid on another video is that silver scrap value, or do you go through the collection and find values like that? Later brocephus! 😎💨
