hlea2479 New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 12:33 pm Hi all! I manage car washes and go through thousands of coins and paper bills per week. I joined this site to start looking up some of the interesting or old coins I find. Are there any coins I should keep an eye out for? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

MrPink2018 Pillar of the Community United States 2461 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 8:16 pm just some coins to watch for: silver dimes, quarters, halves; (dunno if your car wash/es handle many cents, but...) wheat cents; Indian Head cents; the newer W quarters; proofs; buffalo & V nickels; War Nickels; foreign coins... there are too many different errors & varieties to list, but there are mintmark errors & varieties, lamination errors, clipped planchets, rotated dies, mule coins... there's a lot to be watching out for. dunno how much time you get to sift thru everything, but if it were me i'd be making time to sit & sift. if I couldn't do it all myself i'd get a helper. once you start sifting & searching with some regularity- combined with the knowledge you'll no doubt accumulate along the way- you'll sort of develop your own search criteria & methods. with the mass of coin accumulated even from just one car wash i'd think your chances of finding interesting & collectible coins are quite high. i'd come out of retirement to do that job. I love searching thru huge accumulations of change, one of my favorite things to do. color me slightly jealous, lol! Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 02/06/2020 9:01 pm Dimes, quarters and half dollars 1964 and earlier - they are 90% silver and worth 12 to 13 times their face amount (so a dime is worth $1.20-1.30). Half dollars 1965-70 are 40% silver. Nickels 1942-45 with a big mink mark over the dome. These are silver and worth around a buck apiece. Wheat pennies (1958 or earlier). Any penny, nickel, dime, quarter or half dollar that's not like the current design - i.e., Indian Head cents, Buffalo nickels, etc. Any silver dollar 1935 or earlier. Paper bills I know less about but maybe save anything 1950s or older. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)
