SilverEye Valued Member United States 318 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 02:59 am Vegas Fund Results I have always collected my pocket change and when the container gets full, usually a gallon jug of it or so, it's time to cash it in and go to Vegas. The cash I get from the trade is my gamblin money. I decided to search through it this time before I did. By the time I was done, well, I'm hooked. Here are my findings, go ahead and snicker at this total n00b. I had a fun time doing it. Yes, all by hand. Interestingly, the two oldest coins I found were both from 1939, a penny and a nickel. Results of 22 lbs of random change, just under 6 quarts. Completely unsorted, just the coins I get wind up with in my pockets as I go through life. When I trade it in for folding money I'll post up how much it was worth. Pennies 136 pre-1982, non-wheat 4 wheat (oldest 1939) 1 of those 2009 jobs people were talking about in another thread. Nickels 1939 - 1 1945 - 1 1959 - 2 1960 - 2 1961 - 1 1963 - 1 1964 - 6 Dimes 1947 - 1 1952 - 1 I was so thrilled when I found that silver! Quarters nothing of note. Kennedy half - 2, both clad :( President dollars - 2 Canada 1cent - 4 (3 have the flat sides, 1 is round from 1979) 1943 1cent - 1 1975 5cent - 1 Mexico 2005 10c - 1 Report this Post to the Staff

This is what we all do - look at all of our change. Imagine how much sliver you could buy with the total of that change. It might make a better gamble than Vegas since silver and other PMs should continue their rise at this time of year. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

I even peek over the counter at the bank to see any glimmer of silver in the coin dispensers. When I was younger I worked at a restaurant and laundry mat so I was constantly looking, don't know how I ever got work done. Report this Post to the Staff

Sometimes it is the journey, not the destination. Decent finds, though.
