Buying .999 Silver
Sometimes, we take so little time to look at our money that we don’t realize that our pocket change may be worth more than just face value. Next time you go clanging through your loose change, check for any quarters made pre-1965. If you find any, congratulations: you just found some silver!
Another factor in the price of a coin is the survival rate of it or the surviving population. Some coins are damaged and returned to their treasury, while others are melted down for their precious metal value when the market favors certain metals.
Cleaning old coins is a big no-no among professional coin collectors since most of them prefer to acquire them in the unaltered condition. Amateur cleaning is believed to destroy a coin’s surface. So bring in your dirty coins! We never turn away anything because it is dirty, who knows that dirt might make it more valuable.
