Old Coins

Does anyone else not pay a whole lot of attention to their coins? Most people find this form of currency irritating and not worth much thought. The dollar bill is definitely more convenient. The truth is that you can get a pretty penny for old coins buried at the bottom of your bag or hidden in your couches. Back in 2007, former dealer Jeff Bidelman of Rare Collectibles found a 200-year-old coin stash worth $200k. Make sure to check your coin purse for a rare Kansas state quarter! In 2005, “In God We Trust” was written as “In God We Rust” in a bunch of these coins. They are now said to be worth $100 each.
