10 Old Coins Pieces That Are Secretly Worth A Fortune You Might Own One

Forty years of picking barns and estate auctions across the Midwest taught me that the coin worth real money almost never looks like it. In this video I count down ten old coins sitting in jars, drawers and closets right now that sell for hundreds, and in a few cases hundreds of thousands of dollars, and I show you exactly how to tell them apart. We go through pre-1965 ninety percent silver dimes, quarters and halves, the 2004-D Wisconsin extra leaf quarter, the 1916-D Mercury dime, the 1937-D three legged buffalo nickel, the 1955 doubled die cent, the 2000-P Cheerios Sacagawea dollar, the 1992 Close AM cent, the 1969-S doubled die cent, the 1975 No-S proof dime, and the 1943 bronze penny. For every one of them I show you where to look and what you are looking at: the copper stripe on the edge of a clad coin, where the mint mark hides before 1968, the extra leaf on the corn, the missing front leg, the gap between the A and the M, the tail feather shaft, and the difference between a real doubled die and machine doubling, which is the mistake that cost me nineteen hundred dollars on a hay bale. I will also give you the honest odds, because most old coins are worth exactly what it says on the front of them. Every price I mention comes from real sold auction results, not wishful listings. And I will tell you the two mistakes that destroy value before a coin ever reaches a buyer, including the one thing you should never, ever do to a rare one. Before you run that jar through a coin machine, get the magnet off the refrigerator and turn every coin over. The markings tell you everything.
