HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24906 Posts	Posted 03/03/2026 08:26 am Did the video explain exactly why it would be so valuable? All I see is a circulated 1941 (P) nickel, one of the 203,265,000 minted in Philadelphia that year. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19112 Posts	Posted 03/03/2026 2:16 pm I have a full tube of circulated '41 (Philly) ' no mint' nickels. Doing the math, that's 40 coins at $100K each, or $4 million. I'm good with that. I have another four or five in Danscos. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6452 Posts	Posted 03/03/2026 2:28 pm Quote: comment below if you were brave enough. I honestly tried, but I lasted two minutes. It's just somebody wearing gloves, shuffling worn old nickels, while an AI voice drones on promising life changing, mind blowing secrets of coins. Given all the slop on YouTube these days, the mods should add a pig trough icon. >.< Report this Post to the Staff
Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 03/03/2026 3:04 pm So here is a story.......This woman thought she had a quarter with a cent pressed in. She brought it to a coin shop to have it looked at. The person there said it could be and said he could sent it in to PCGS for her. Well, $150 later, she got the coin back ungraded and not in a holder. She put the coin up on FB and I told her fire damage and that it was an expensive lesson learned. How she ever saw a cent in the blackened face of Washington was beyond me. Report this Post to the Staff
