its a new program i started, all it takes is u send me 19.99 plus shipping and handling for the informational packet
and if you act now ill throw in some 2x2 holders lol, sorry im going nuts cause i want to be out detecting but its raining so i managed to take my crap clad (17.89) from about a month and went and bought these beauties 1902 barber half, 1942 walker half, and unidentifiable date 3 cent piece. Paid 18.00 for the lot, i think i got a good deal

Back when I first started detecting in the early 80s, I didn't find anything but clad with my junk detector, so I did exactly what you did, used it to buy silver. The value gain on those coins is just amazing. However you get it, it's silver, and the kind you buy is usually higher in quality than dug coins.
 

That's a pretty cool ideal there.Never thought about doing it that way.

dont get me wrong, i LOVE digging em up, id much rather do it that way but i figure its a good use for dirty zincolns and junk clad, i took last years clad haul (about 100 bucks) and went to my 15 yr class re union, i told my son, each time we near 20 bucks well cash it in, and buy some silver with it, between that, actually digging up silver, and coin roll hunting we set a small goal: 100 silver coins of any denomination, including last years take, were near 50 as of now:thumbsup:
 

After you accumulate a good bit of silver you should cash that in for gold or platinum.
 

You definitely got a good deal. There's more than $18.00 there just in silver value. If you're getting deals like that buy as many as you can.
 

Those pennies look a whole lot better now that they're vintage silver! :thumbsup:
 

Nice idea, I think I will do this with all my spare change!
 

You are getting a really good deal on coins, My LCS sells barber halves for $14 each

yeah he hooked me up today, gave me the two halves at 8 each and 2 for the 3 center cause the date was worn, i found 1852 on it, similar worn ones on ebay were going for 10-15 so yeah ill take it! someone bought all the silver he had last week, junk silver included (around 6 grand worth) and he only has about 4 SLQs and 2 more barber halves, maybe ill snatch em up
 

Great return!!
 

Unidentified date or not...a III cent piece is on my wishlist.
 

Where do i send the 19.99 plus shipping and handling for the informational packet.???



Just Kidding...
