Hello, Checking my change today and found a 1972 5c coin and 1972 10cent coin. Big deal I hear you scream. The five is the lowest mintage unc about $35 Checked eBay past sales for circulated $10 average. So not a bad % gain for 5cent The 10c is about $4. Anyway put a smile on my dial. My lady hates me getting change. She usually says something like "do you always have to do that in public, how old are you, grow up!"
hahaha you should just by $14 worth of her favourite treats and eat them all in front of her, thats childish! I found a $1 mule last year, don't care who is looking at me when i flip over all my coins.
Is there a list to see what coins are worth what? I would check my change but don't even know what I am looking for Thanks
I use mcdonnalds pocket coin guide. It comes out every year for about $35 but a copy out of date ie last years goes for like $10. Handy to see what to look out for and mintages
I put the word out at work as a collector that I'll swap pre 1970 or any interesting coins. Lot's of 66, 67, 68 but no 66 20 cent wavy yet, well keep trying
IMO you should be keeping all your 5 and 10 cents regardless.. the cost of fabrication alone exceeds the face value.. pow pow I was hoarding up to 20c but recently cashed in a bunch except young face QE11 and some specials like the cent of fed series and sir don brad 1for1
