DANG IT!!! I thought I was rich!Wifezilla said:The pennies that are higher value are 1982 or older. Those are actually copper. They are currently worth 2.7 each, not $2.95.
Dimes and quarters 1964 and older are silver. Dimes are now worth $2.85. Quarters are worth $7.13.
Your 1973 half dollar is worth 50 and losing value every day. If it were a 1965-1970 it would be worth $5.83 because it would be 40% silver. If it was 1964 or older it would be worth $14.25
Your 1878 dollar is worth $30.47

Some people sell them on ebay or to coin dealers. You will not get the full value if you go to a dealer. They have to make money too.
Many people are using gold, silver and other metal coins to preserve their wealth. Even if spot metal prices drop, the coins still retain face value.
You can probably figure that anyone holding a substantial amount of gold and/or silver will be better armed than most. It would probably be best for anyone to not count on the whole loot and pillage thing as a viable way for building ones portfolio.SKR8PN said:With lead...... you can get as much silver/gold as you want.
PERSONALLY?
I like to EAT and drink.....
Just sayin'.....
Sumthin' to think about.
unless they're huge earrings, you still probably won't get very much for them. =/ have you weighed them to figure their value?dragonlaurel said:I'm thinking about turning in a few broken earrings and stuff like that while the price is still good, and using it to get a few more practical supplies. I'd rather have a few more tools and similar items.
