How about an 1878 Liberty Head silver dollar?
To: DeaconBenjamin
I have a relative who worked in retail for year. At the end of every shift she'd go through the dimes and quarters for me pulling out all the pre-64 stuff and replacing it with later dates.
I paid her face value for it. We did this for years.
I have a couple pounds of those old coins locked up in my safe. I had friends that called me nuts for wasting my time on it. They don't say that any more.

I'm not close to being an expert on coins. I can only tell you it's not in mint condition. Most of the features are only slightly worn.

This article is full of crap. I don’t believe a word of it.
You can buy pre-65 silver at or below spot, including delivery, for spot price ($1000 face bags) at tulving.com.
Maybe some local gougers are getting more. But I GUARANTEE that no one is selling silver proofs or Eagles for less than spot. Nobody.

They are easy to spot, too. You can hear the difference in the way they clink.

Would you say there’s slight trace of wear on the bust shoulder and hair left of forehead, and on eagle’s breast and top edges of wings? If so that would be considered Almost Uncirculated and if it’s 8 tail feathers $42 to $58, 7 tail feathers over 8 $48 to $77, 7 tail feathers 2nd reverse $36 to $41 or 7 tail feathers 3rd reverse $40 to $46. Those are retail. You’d probably not get those selling to a coin dealer

Check consignment shops. The consignors generally don’t update the price of their products very often. I got $4 in face value coins for $67.

You can hear the difference in the way they clink. That's very true. Newer coins 'clink', the older silver stuff 'rings' when you drop it.

What fool would sacrifice proof coins for scrap value?
