One day I was really bored and I had remembered that half price books buys old books and dvd's. So when my sister got home I asked her if she would drive me to my local half price books she said yes. so I got my 439 dvd's nd my 836 books and I went to the book store and sold them they would give me 374$. for books that were sitting around the house.  . I went to the bank and said can I get as many quarts as possible. so I went home and I looked through them fond like 54 errors and 14 1964 pre quarters so. If you have random books or old dvd's by god TAKE THEM TO HALF PRICE BOOKS! Comment below on what you think and other ways to get coins for virtually free!  |

ODatSilver, I think your errors you're finding aren't all errors. Pictures would be great to see too. That also sounds like it's an expensive way. 14 quarters that are silver sounds like a rare find too.
Not trying to be rude but this sounds a bit too good to be true. I hope it is for your sake. Pictures would be great!
Also "IMO" = "In My Opinion"

I treat garbage day like free yard sale day, all those old standing fans are chock full of copper. I even have my family snipping the old toasters and what not before they throw it out. Selling copper and buying silver, closest thing to alchemy I have seen.

Selling copper and buying silver, closest thing to alchemy I have seen. For that post!! I do the same here, only I take it a step further since I also detect. I dig every signal. When I get home I clean up my finds and sort them by metal type. Once a year I take it all to the scrap yard and sell it along with what ever copper I have managed to salvage over the course of the year. On Sundays during the colder months I "mine" what was once an old junk automobile yard that has long since grown over. I do this for two reasons. #1 I stay out of the woods during hunting season, #2 I tend to steer clear of rattle snakes and copper heads. In there I find lead, a little copper, steel, and hit a brass honey hole once that yielded over 100 lbs. What I seek though is generators and alternators. I strip them of copper and then put them back together. They sell for $.35 pound, and then I sell the copper at the going rate. That money either goes into what ever silver I can find locally. I do keep the lead and pour my own fishing weights with it. |

I use a rewards credit card to pay my bills, make sure to pay it off every month, and earn 1.5% cash. Works out to about $300 a year. Use that for what ever you wish.

I use a BOA card for almost everything. 1% back on everything except, 2% back on food, 3% back on gasoline. Once a year transfer all that to a savings account and get 50% more. As to Silver, just get some shovels and go out West and start mining. Probably easier than looking through tons of coins. My neighbor searches the streets and allies for metal and turns it all in to recycling place. His only job and he makes a lot of money. |

that's awesome that you still have the older coins in circulation. our coins were changed in 2006 to different sizes so that's as far back as our circulated coins go

I got $100 in change from the bank a month or two ago and the only old coin found was a dateless Buffalo nickel. I don't think the above story is very typical or it's a memory from 1975. |
