So today I decided to go through a large glass container of spare change. I weighed it just now, and it was almost 40 pounds. Subtract the glass and I guess its about 35 pounds of change from the last year or two! Ill let you know if I find anything interesting. Anything I should look for in particular?  |

I recently did a jar that a client asked me to sort (in exchange for getting to keep anything good I found.) It was a little under 60 pounds and a total of $485.54. I found one silver dime, one War Nickel, 24 wheats (including two 1943-P steelies), two Canadian nickels, five Canadian cents (including a 1948), One 2000 Bahamanian 25¢ coin, One 1975 Mexican 5¢, Some weird U.A.E. coin that I can't read and One 2004 British 5 pence. There were also two Chucky Cheese tokens, two batting cage tokens, three paperclips, some scraps of carpet, a bunch of those plastic doohickeys that pricetags are attached to clothes with, some hair, and a broken Augusta, GA Masters golf pin of some kind.

There are actually people that collect Chucky Cheese tokens because they actually have dates on them. There are some that are rare and worth some money. I should check the ones I have to see if any of mine are worth anything.

Chucky cheese tokens worth a lot of money? I better check and get educated! Goodluck on your search through that change.

Ha thanks :) So far lots of copper pennies, and a Wheat penny. Tons more to go through though. Doing this kind of tedious thing really passes the time :) |

You should redeem the Chucky Cheese tokens....you can probably get a glow in the dark plastic lizard for 200 tokens. What a deal :)

I have been doing the same thing! I purchased the book "stike it rich with pocket change" today and I have been having a ball with it! I am dying to look through the magnafying glass and see a double stamp or something. Are you going to the show in Kenner this weekend?

So after those last few hrs digging through coins I ended up with...
One Silver Dime
Two Wheat Pennies
A few Susan B Anthony silver coins.
And a little zip lock bag full of Copper Pennies (Pre 1982)
And some foreign coins. Also, some arcade tokens lol!
But really nothing special. Was fun though, and all that money is sorted out in bags now. Now we know what happens when I get bored in the afternoon.
@ repj - I really should sense I wont be working Saturday or Sunday. Its a possibility :)

I do that at mt grandparents house. They keep pennies for bingo and I go through them and switch out for ones I want! I envy you for saying a silver SBA is nothing special.... |
