The real Spicoli would by weed with them at face value.
I do the same.To this day I still check any change I get for dates.
I keep anything pre-60s, pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, some really old 50¢ and Silver Dollars all going back to 1920s, One SD is a 1890's. Lots of Buffalo nickles, Mercury Dimes and Wheat Pennies.
Got a bag full of 'em. You can tell if 100% silver by the sound they make when dropped.
Kinda fun hobby.
True that but they are 90% silver, Silver Stackers are all over these to build their silver stacks for the Armageddon, it's all over YouTube. Once you start watching those vids you will start building precious metals reserves for the end of our fiat currency....To this day I still check any change I get for dates.

I’m guessing you have loose or otherwise uncertified coins, and delving into grading.Just acquired a pretty sizable stash of coins, was wondering if anyone here is into to this, I have been forced to learn a ton, but what an opaque industry.

Totally agree, that is what I really dislike, the pricing feels so untrustworthy and have done it a few times now, but what a buzz walking out with 2k in cash.My father bought a number of gold coins and silver in the 80's: bulk and special coins.
He used to drop one on me every now and again. When I went to cash them in at the 'We buy Gold' shops my butthole always felt a bit bigger when I left with the money. Even knowing the spot price going in I felt like I was getting ripped off.
Yep pretty much and have gotten some graded with one of the two main grading services PCGS. Have a fair amount of Morgan Dollars and am wonder if I should do a bulk submission.I’m guessing you have loose or otherwise uncertified coins, and delving into grading.
Silver vs clad is super-easy… dimes, quarters and up ‘64 or earlier is 90% silver. Look at the edge and it’s solid colored vs two tone
More important is first type, year and mint. Look up value online. Start with the top valued ones and look up grading for those. If you then find you’re sitting on considerably valuable ones, you can look into getting them certified as that’ll help you selling them.
Anyone remember Red Books?
