I just found $35,438.88 in cash

[rick_d]

Two years ago I sat down with my son and went through about $400 worth of dimes and segregated out one modest mercury and about 15 barbers. When all said and done, the barbers were still sold at scrap and the dime pulled $5.

It tool two of us about 5 hours.

Most of the less than super collectible silver coins are just being melted these days.

You have to understand that is $35k retail and my guy get pretty excited. I'll give you $15.

 

[medtro]

What's the point? I'm pretty sure you know the location of every dime.

Not for those that weren't buried by me.

I thought you could smell money.

I think this could easily be combined with the p o o n thread and go to great places....

I'm curious to see how appreciative the owner is

 

[Saddletramp]

I suggest that Phil get to hand pick a few dimes with the special dates and mints. This would seem very appreciative and fair to all involved.

Good job Phil, honesty always pays off. Well done

I've got a ziploc full of Liberty Dimes (1940's) and a stash of pre 64 dimes and quarters. I have a slightly dented 1904 penny and some of the 1943 (IIRC) steel penny.

Steel penny

Copper pennys pre 1982 are going for .0167

Silver could be a good time to cash in

I just looked up all the Liberty dimes I have. In their condition, they are worth 3.35 each. The other silver dimes I have are worth 2.36 each.

While we're drinking? They may find their way into my pockets.

They are only worth 3.35 each if you have a buyer. Melt down value (2.36) is available at any pawn shop
