SJUHawks Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 11:38 am Are $1 silver certs worth anything over face if they are beat up (edited by staff to make forum appropriate)? I've got 9 of them that I found, and believe me when I say that there is absolutely nothing special about them. I took them to my coin shop and he said to spend them. He wouldn't even give me $10 for the 9 of them. They're not even worth taking a picture of. Any ideas, or are they just spenders? Report this Post to the Staff

I think this is a better thing to do than just spending them. Report this Post to the Staff
SJUHawks Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 02/14/2012 11:55 am Sometimes I do just that. I'll give this kind of stuff to my kids to spend at lunch and they'll show all of their friends. My kids absolutely LOVE taking $2 bills to school for lunch. I always pick up however many the tellers have when I go to the bank. Once I got stuck with $60 in twos when I was on my way to Myrtle beach for vacation. My wife hates my obsession with coins. She hates the twos even more. Report this Post to the Staff

That was until I filed for divorce (after 34 years of a horrible marriage) and to my surprise, both her and her lawyer went after half of the retail value in court... By then, I had a very large USA & World error coin & currency collection that I placed in my Will for my granddaughter's college education... My now ex didn't give a darn about her granddaughters education and wanted half of what I had... I believe that should you ever cross the bridge that I did, you'll find that your wife cares more about your coins then you know... (Sorry, I just had to vent when I read your post) Report this Post to the Staff
