I learnt my lesson in a previous life when i sold a cow for some magic beans😂😂

I hate when they call any silver in any form "junk". Plastic bottles that can't even be recycled are junk. Silver is always a treasure.

Loved his comment about giving that/those coins to the kids. Great attitude to have. Kudos to him.

I learned my lesson on grab-bags as a kid in the 80s when I paid 75 cents and ended up with 2 books of bi-centennial matches. 😂

Keith's honesty made that extra brutal. You're better off buying a grab bag from a coin dealer than buying them on eBay. Thanks for buying these so others don't have to, Seeker!

I sold mystery bags on eBay and I was totally fair. I'm Canadian and sold $50 and $100 bags. Both bags had at least $50 or $100 in them. That's retail. How did I make money? I didn't pay retail. Easy.

PT Barnum once said, "A sucker is born every day," and that quote applies here.

I agree with Keith across the board on this one. The mystery packs are overpriced novelties. Of course, you already knew that. The bright side is, you got two good videos out of it. I enjoy seeing channels from our community get together like this. Seek on!! 👊✌️

On the bright side, I'm sure you got some entertainment by not knowing what was going to be inside. Then you passed that entertainment to the rest of us with a few good videos for us to watch!

I used to visit a coin shop that had a big box of foreign coins for 50 cents each. Liked finding 1 & 2 euro coins there.

During the video, I did my own calculations of what I would be likely to sell these coins for myself. My figure turned out to be $9.30, which was less than the $11.25 that the dealer said he'd retail them for. Online mystery packs are generally a bad deal

I never bought a mystery pack. I look at it this way. If I can’t see what I’m buying, I’m not buying it

The value of a Mercury Dime can vary from less than $1.50 to over $1,500 depending on its condition, date, and mint mark. For example, as of July 2024, a circulated 1945 Mercury Dime is worth between $3.25 and $5.75, while a 1926 Mercury Dime in good condition is worth $3, but an uncirculated one can be worth $450. Some of the rarest Mercury Dimes include the 1916-D, 1921, 1921-D, 1925-D, 1926-S, 1931-D, and the 1942 over 41

those are nice vinyl coin flips in that bag!

These are like the discount version of buying vault coins 😂

I buy stuff I like from the US mint and only 2 other highly reputable dealers who will also buy back from me when I want to sell.

Great job, Silver Seeker & Keith from Coin Crew!

I liked the dealer you had on. 👍

Your Dealer was right on with his suggestion. If the Seller treated you fair it could be a win/win. As it is, I wouldn't touch a Mystery Bag.

Any time you hear junk about silver. Silver is a precious metal.

Well, I going to stick to things I’m more comfortable with. Thanks guys for helping us to be mindful of various offers that we might regret ever buying. 👍🏽

Excellent show. Informative, with the expert. Very entertaining, especially with the "Bamm!" presentation of each coin. Suspenseful. I subscribed.👍

Silver Seeker and Just A Guy aka Coin Crew, great video 👍👍

years ago, I had got a speeding ticket and needed to make some money fast to make it to the next payday. I went to a coin collector with 10 coins that were old and a mix of U.S. and foreign coins. I told the guy I wanted $30 for all of them. After he was done examining them, he offered $15 for them. I told him I couldn't do that. Before I got to the door, he changed his mind. People tell me that there's no telling what they were worth, since the guy actually gave me what I wanted for them. Live and learn!

Coin crew Keith is awesome! Great video! 🎉

I liked Mercury dimes when I was collecting coins. They look a little "different" compared to current coinage and most of them are pretty cheap. Even a kid can put together a pretty good collection for not that much money.

Keith - I'm old in FLA, but lived at G.R. Mich '80's. Old Farticus, coin dealer @show, sellin' the remainders of year sets, after 50 cent pieces snipped out. I asked for bulk purchase price. He had his Buds there, scowled at me, & said, "Sonny, the price is the price...I have 3000 of 'em, how many you want?" I stated his sticker price, & asked, if that was correct? Dealer snarled sayin' "That's the price Sonny...now buy 'em or move along, how many you want? I tried to look dejected, but coyly said, "I'll take 'em all". Dealer & Buds laughed their azzes off, until when left, I smiled & said, "Hello Susan B. Anthony....you hot Biotch"!!! Don't worry, I paid area back next decade on way to Lansing, workin' MDOT. I-96 near Airport, my PU only traffic, & slammed by Microburst. PU squatted, rebounded, alit crooked @85mph, but caught it, w/glance up at Jetliner on ILS Approach to GRR, STATIONARY!! Had my 3X load, but flipped on lights & beacons, yanked it up on rights, up thru window, sittin' on sill, gassin' Rt foot, Rt hand steer, Lt hand shake finger at Capt WTF up there, while slaloming CL, until Capt gassed it w/huge plumes of exhaust, but also set full flaps, gear up, nose down, then in flat plummet to G.R. Jetliner smashed into oak woods as pullin' out, but continued thru forest, until arose out N end! Capt knew that's impossible, so gently pulled U-Turn passing me on way to Lansing, & THERE WAS THAT DANG ORANGE PICKUP!! HO RE SHT, it did exist! He pulled lazy u-turn, flyin' back towards G.R. @freeway altitude, wagglin' wings, wavin' paper back & forth, on side-window as, "Thanks for tip", I flipped on lights/beacons, & waved at him for, "No Problem", & that shoulda been last of that! Liner ruined, no radios for Tower, No Com w/Cabin, so Capt flew remains straight to GRR this time, but it looked abandoned. Nervous, he gave self, Approach, Land, Taxi, Approach Concourse, & Park in his spot Clearances, so did exactly that, but wingtips dragged runway, & his Gate Abandoned. Capt didn't want Liner to catch fire killin' all, so shut her down himself as 1st Ofcr still whimpering knowing he was dead. Finally, Capt could hear Company w/Medical arriving to retrieve entire Cabin Crew, all severely injured, plopped "Junior" on gurney shootin' 'em up to prevent scene, then the injured Passengers, then those uninjured, w/Capt left alone. He slipped down narrow "Late Luggage" stairs, glanced back up at his beautiful V-Shape wings, but tips bowed down to tarmac. Capt knew in trouble for sure, was pullin' oak limbs from belly, when arrested by GRPD for Evidence Tampering, & second charge of Joyriding Airliner!! Cops dragged Capt to door, then stairwell, bumpin' him up steps, w/money shot, passing his uninjured Passengers makin' them all cry!! Capt later told me, that was when felt just like sht!! He was then bumped up the Tower's Stairs into FAA's lair, before 4 - Know-It-Alls, asking raft of questions, for which he had no answers. Upon arrival, FAA Supervisor, asked for removal of handcuffs, & after questioning completed, the Arresting Officer asked the FAA Supv if wanted Capt Charged & Lodged out to Kent Co Jail? Supv by then, realizin' gravity of situation, told Cop, "You've got to be kidding"!!! NOV '96, Capt just back to flying, I was marooned @TPA, having not eaten for 3 days, w/next AM ride to DTE on SWA after Burger Spcl @Pilot's Lounge, but Zero $'s on me. In line, my table was dbl table, but there was little single table at wall, so told 4 - Pilots behind they could have dbl, & I'd get that single table. I was way underdressed, so Waitress got my burger in gear, then returned for Pilots' orders. NWA Capt had his newly issued 1st Ofcr there, & pair of SWA Pilots too for Dangers of Windshear/Microburst Training. He started out OK with, on ILS approach to GRR...bla, bla, bla, but couldn't recall order of Emergency Actions, let alone the order of same. My burger near, but said, "Capt, you went full gas/flaps, gear up, nose down, then plummet straight down into...WHAM", Capt tackled me, growling, "And exactly how in the hell would you know that", but choken' me until 1st Ofcr said, "Capt maybe if you stop chokin' him"...& he stopped. I showed Capt my MDOT ID, he blinked half a dozen times, & said to Waitress guarding burger, "He looks more like a T-Bone Man to me, he'll be haven' what we're havin', & single table w/extra burger goes to this Young Man right here", another Senior NWA Capt waitin' in line. (Just absolutely flattered!!) See guys, instant $3,000 coin profit, traded for 155 souls in future, sounds fair...right??

The seller called it a mystery pack cause it's a mystery as to why anyone would pay $30 plus shipping for it.

Surely, given its' wear, the Roosevelt Dime is only worth its' melt value, but I would have expected the Mercury's condition would have lifted it out of the melt realm...

A better way was to GO to a dealer, whom you never spoke to before and recorded his appraisal.

Never buy anything like this. Great for sharing

II really like your honesty In can anyone call and ask you for your opinion about their coins as well?

5:00 When I lived in England, the antique stores sold many of the old British coins going back to the 1700s for 50p. Almost like play money

I agree with ericw 3517, calling old silver coins junk silver is stupid. Silver is Silver and a presciou metal. I too will take any and all they want to dump.

I really like/appreciate videos like this they teach me a lot thanks

I just watched a video where the dude bought a silver Libertad for only $32!

Thanks for sharing 😊

Glad to see you and Keith

There are NO coin dealers who are sorry that people got taken advantage of... taking advantage of people IS the coin business.

As a coin dealer, has Keith ever sold mystery packs, and has he ever stuck in a really nice value coin, that made the pack actually worth MORE than what he is selling it for, just to give a few customers the chance at actually coming out on top?

I grab coins from a coin machine that people use often and I always find all kinds of world coins. I think it’s really cool to see them but I might carry them around to give away or maybe exchange for small items if I can

I got lucky once with a $100 mystery grab bug that got through Etsy. I don't think the seller knew when he sent me a 1880 O with the micro O vam on it. Happy me.

Wow I like this video silver seeker. This is a great educational video. Thank you for sharing.

i like Keith and his honesty

Yeah its a cool thing for a gift if you make a case for them or for a kid to get them interesting in history. But many coins are only valuable for the history behind the images, period, specific date. You're not likely to get rich buying and selling money. The ones who get rich are the finders. Grandma's piggy bank, in the walls of an old building being renovated, discovering a Spanish Galleon, etc. ;)

Never buy a mystery bag! Always will be overpriced and little value

I believe it would be appropriate for you to tell who you bought this item from. It would help keep other people from getting ripped off by this eBay seller.

These videos are fun to watch

You're a good sport!

Hey i found that exact same british penny metal detecting in a park in montana last year. Wasnt expexting one of those. Hahha

Cool video. I look at mercury dimes as a collectable. Not as just the silver they are made of.

Pig in a poke. Dat ain't no pig, it's a bull frog. Mama gonna be mad.

Obviously don’t buy mystery packs

This was interesting and entertaining!

Good stuff!

Lord Have Mercy!

My favorite coin channel

I would like to see a video on coins that are worth more money and a good buy.

Coin crew lets gooo. Always a good time with cc and ss

i actually been to his shop since i live not too far from him.

Enjoy all you topics! Great stuff!!

Ummm, ebay fees are 15% for smaller sellers and they charge that commission on the shipping and sales tax collected too.

Actually when it comes to coins they are collectors paying just as much for worn coins,read up on it,very true.

I always wonder how much scammers put fake coins circulate and how no one can see real ones from fakes

LOL HE looks and acts like a Michigander 🥔

Hey are you ever going to release the hidden audio footage from that video a few weeks ago?

Hey Keith...😎👍

Every coin is a "world coin".

In Minnesota, the Minneapolis area coin shops are only willing to pay between $2-$2.30 for 40% halves. I need to check out other states. SMH.

I have 4 1977 quarters, two with the “D on them and two without. I watched a video on KZfaq saying they are worth $100,000 each which is bs, they aren’t worth taking to a coin expert!!

Had a similar experience on ETSY. Bought a roll of Buffalos + a roll of Indians SUPPOSEDLY full dates for $176. Recil'd machine wrapped rolls of G-4's _ALL DATELESS. Unable to return due to being unwrapped ! Left appropriate feedback.

I thought the nickel was just a sticker on it. I have a dollar with Santa, another dollar with coin guy on it, and several Kennedy half dollars with other people on them they are all just stickers. I know there was some colorized American eagles in 2000.

Basically subsidized. 😂 i love that

Fun episode, and very informative. I just don't understand why that one coin was worth nothing. What did I miss?

Usually with the Kennedy half dollars if the middle looks copper color it’s 40 % silver.

Well I saw a 40% silver 1971 Kennedy and it’s sold for 13,000 some of these coins you would have to see with the collector sometimes they’re interested in them somebody else can see it’s worth two dollars but maybe they’re interested in their offer much more money all depends where you sell it

@11:32 a mystery pack should at least contain an item/items that do in fact total the price of the mystery pack. The point to the mystery should be what is inside NOT am I being robbed wow gang

This was better than some bags, they did actually include silver

Sounds like Silver Bean Counter! That's The Bean!

So I happened to live close by Keith's store stopped there. When I found out about it. On one of your videos. Nice place. I bought an ounce of silver and 1/2, a dozen 90% dimes this has been several months ago. He was charging 27 times face. On the 90%.

I WOULD LOVE TO BUY THAT 1956 PENNY I'LL GIVE YOU 5.00 PLUS SHIPPING JUST TO HAVE A NICE LOOKING COIN FROM MY BIRTH YEAR 😂

Nothing is in the description

The thumbnail makes it seem like Keith: Coin Shop Owner in Muskegon, MI is the one who ripped you off.

Am I having déjà vu or have you already made one of these videos before?😃👍

People don't understand certain thing's!!! It's cheaper to recycle than to dig for Iron Ores. Think about the fuel & energy cost's versus drilling & Extraction cost's. How many life's are lost because large corporations care more about their profit margins than they care a about a human life... 🤔

He got hosed 😅

Coins have 2 values. Raw materials like silver (silver coins are 90% silver) and Numismatic (Coin Collectors) Value. The collectors value comes from numerous factors, mostly from how many were made, the fewer made usually are more valuable; the mint mark (Philadelphia, called Plain, with no mint mark letter, Denver (D), San Francisco (S), New Orleans (O) etc.). Some valuations are high due to flaws in the coin, usually a stamping error of some form. Other valuations are the coin itself, a good example is the Lincoln Penny from 1909. Some had the initials VDB on the reverse, that was the designer of the coin, Victor D Brenner. The coins are called 1909 VDB. The S mint mark is more valuable than others on this particular coin, I have one. Bottom line, never spend old coins, and if you find one that has a stamp error it likely has much more value than a normal stamped coin of the same date/mint mark. Another factor, usually the most important are the coins condition. Proof, special coins made by the mint and sold at a higher price than face value, these are highly polished. Uncirculated, Fine, Good etc.

❤ informative

I'm not a professional coin/bill hunter, but I have enough common sense to reach anything from I buy it... I got ripped off once for a sports card about 15 years ago. Then, a chemically altered $5.00 bill 2 years ago. Since the bill scam, I research EVERYTHING...

Just went to a pawn shop,,YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE COINS FOR SALE,,GOLD BULLION,GOLD BARS SILVER BARS,,,,WHY ANYONE WOULD SELL GOLD&SILVER BARS TO A CREEP PAWN BROKER IS BEYOND ME,AND THEY PROBABLY TOLD THEM IT WOULD GET MELTED DOWN AS SCRAP JUST TO MAKE IT HURT MORE

Got a sack full of wheat pennies that a coin shop said they are still worth just a penny each.... I guess they may be worth a liitle more

Will either of you be at the FUN show in July?

I used to sell some mystery deals on ebay and did well multiple repeat buyers all positive feedback but I also made them well 10 silver total 2 were either morgan peace or ase 2 half dollar franklin barber or Kennedy 2 quarters and 4 dimes and i usually threw in an extra 40% or a foreign silver then I had 1800s cents and some other stuff to throw in I believe it was $100

What days are your coin show? I like that nickel and I love finding gold plated junk silver.

Yea I found one coin in a tube of twenty, silver plated, worth about $17 on eBay but no LCS in MN would even take it only doing this 4 yrs since retirement but enjoy you're vids🎉😂❤ we learn as we stack 🥈💰🩵

Dude you overpaid

That was intresting

I liked this video do this more often I wish I had the sponsor ship to do that as a Canadian perspective and buy grab bags here in Canada

You don't know what's in a person's person's heart, and there are numismatics that do know a lot but the coin dealers know a lot about their basics there are some people that know a lot more and some of the coin dealers have stuff they don't even know the value of and in some cases I won't mention the amount that individuals have come away with because you would not believe, there's a notch up above these coin dealers and if you don't know about it you are in the wrong business..

Obviously silver is silver, but I’d probably be most interested in keeping the old foreign coin.
