At the most, this certainly isn't a treasure trove.
Bills are only worth face value and the coins minimum appreciation at the most.
Silver coins will be worth only a little more than their denomination. Example, a 10 cent coin maybe worth 15 cents for a silver collector, not a coin collector.........
Too bad the writer has no knowledge of old coins and their relative NON value...........
I’m not a lawyer, but if it’s in your house, it’s yours. If it’s in the woods or on somebody else’s property you could have problems.
Silver coins are worth more than you’re stating My guess is it was a coin collector that died before, or filled the shell, before 1971. There are Lincoln Memorial cents that may have been kept just because they were new. There are no Eisenhower dollars. I’d be investing in a metal detector and checking the yard, under the house, and in the walls. Dollar coins appear scarce.
“Will pay to the bearer on demand...”
Is that Kennedy coin real silver or clad copper?
One should never go full retard.

Good idea. I have one ready to go. LOL
Why can’t this happen to me? Someone who actually is a coin enthusiast? :D
Honestly it looks like whoever collected this hoard kept going. I see Kennedy halves there so it wasn’t just turn of the century. Though definitely plenty.
Further, since it was clearly not live, why does the authority have to take it? Good God. Lots of people have collectible weapons that are stable. Ooops, maybe I shouldn’t say that.
I bet the grandkids Had no clue what to do.
Jokes on them. The dude. And it was a dude. Must be getting a kick out of this story. RIP.
I say that all the time! LOL
Why not me find hidden cool stuff.
I’d be a good keeper of a mini treasure.
There are Franklin halves in there. Would not discount that whoever vet likely started this just kept plinking in more very gradually.
No, they were cleaning a relatives house.
That implies this is working on the estate of someone who just died.
Guy is a hoarder, casual curiosity, not a collector. Collectors don’t throw coins…esp. very worn coins …into jars and so on. They have actual albums and storage supplies to contain them.
But yes, it’s more than just dismissing them as face value. That is the MINIMUM any of them is worth.
That’s what’s great about collecting money.
yep
Bills that are silver certs are woth alot
$20 Silver Certificates can be worth a lot of money depending on numerous factors we go over in this old money guide. As you can see, two dollar silver certificates were printed for 4 different years: 1878, 1880, 1886, and 1891. There are only Large Size twenty-dollar Silver Certificates, the United States never printed Small Size paper money for this denomination.
Many Silver Certificates will come with blue ink somewhere on the banknote, either in the serial number, seal, or both. There are some older Silver Certificates from the late 1800s that have Red or Brown seals, these are all Large Size paper money bills.
Determining the value of your old $20 Silver Certificate will depend on many factors we list below, however, typically these banknotes are worth anywhere between $200 and over $1,000. All twenty dollar silver certificates are rare and are going to be worth at least a few hundred dollars.
Non-sequitur.
If it isn’t live, it isn’t ammunition.
It is a shell casing but it isn’t ammunition.

So, bomb squads can lay claim to empty steel containers now too?
