[Music]
0:18
tuned this is Joshua the fun times guy
0:20
and this is my wife drine and we're
0:23
going to look through a rooll of
0:26
quarters now a lot of times people will
0:28
do these videos and they'll have like
0:29
boxes and boxes of coins and frankly we
0:32
don't have the time for that and really
0:34
we TR want to show what it's like to go
0:36
through a role that you might find at
0:37
the bank or you might ask for the
0:38
grocery store a lot of folks I would
0:40
even say I would want to say Millions
0:42
certainly thousands and thousands of
0:44
people go through rolls of coins all the
0:46
time looking for like old quarters or
0:48
valuable quarters and Jean and I like to
0:51
look through ruls of coins together what
0:52
year did uh the mints sto making uh
0:56
quarters in that's a great question so
0:59
the didn't they thought didn't they make
1:01
partial silver and then full silver
1:03
you're right so the US stopped making
1:06
silver quarters for circulation in 1965
1:09
the last year of silver quarters of 64
1:11
but you mention the partial silver so
1:14
the US Mint started to make in
1:16
1975 the US Mint made for collectors
1:19
coin collectors Bicentennial quarters
1:21
that are dual dated 1776
1:24
1976 most are made from coppernick clad
1:26
for circulation but some were made out
1:29
of 40%
1:30
silver you can find one in circulation
1:32
if one got broken out of a proof set or
1:34
a mint set and spent his regular coins
1:36
and you you can look for those uh but
1:38
most virtually all um qus you're going
1:42
to find that are dated after 197 or 1964
1:45
are clad so that's why in this world of
1:47
quarters we're going to look for pre1
1:48
1965 quarters hopefully find some silver
1:51
in there so one time we um ordered a
1:54
whole box of these oh yeah I remember
1:57
that and we opened them and it was ours
2:01
ands we didn't find that many we we did
2:05
find some partial we actually did yeah
2:07
we found some 90% silver quarters
2:09
yeah the thing about this hobby guys
2:13
look the reals are correct you can find
2:15
some really valuable coins in rolls okay
2:19
so never stop looking for really cool
2:21
and valuable coins in the rolls you may
2:24
not find them every roll and that's okay
2:26
what I hope you guys don't do is check
2:28
one or two rolls and and stopped because
2:30
you didn't find anything special in the
2:31
first roll or
2:33
two and you already found something no
2:35
oh I got excited for a minute I thought
2:37
she found a silver quarter some of the
2:39
state quarters
2:41
1988 do have some double D and yeah are
2:45
known for um the 2005 P Minnesota uh
2:50
quarters what does that look like so it
2:53
has an outline on the reverse the back
2:54
side of the coin the Minnesota quarter
2:57
has an outline of the state of Minnesota
3:00
oh and in the back top like like a like
3:02
a lake scene okay and the between the
3:04
third and fourth spruce tree just to the
3:07
viewers right of the state outline of
3:08
Minnesota there were various double Dy
3:11
on those cors you that my birth year no
3:13
oh that's the year that uh I was
3:15
established before I was born he always
3:17
says that that's so weird I think it's
3:19
funny it's so weird weird what are you
3:22
calling weird now here we go this is a
3:25
1965 quarter now why is that special you
3:28
found one
3:30
because it's possible that this 1965
3:34
quarter is actually silver you're going
3:36
wait a minute I thought you just said
3:37
that before 65 was the last year of the
3:39
silver quarters it's true but there was
3:43
an error in 1965 where some of the 90%
3:46
silver planchets the blanks that were
3:47
used to strike the 64 and prior silver
3:50
quarters were left in the hoppers at the
3:53
minut and a small number it's unknown
3:56
how many exactly but a small number of
3:57
1965 dated quarter
4:01
contain 90% silver and those are very
4:03
valuable they're worth thousands of
4:05
dollars um and there are multiple you
4:07
can tell if you have a silver 65 quarter
4:11
we found a second one so I'm going to
4:13
show you now these I can tell are Cloud
4:15
because they have like a brown or so
4:17
you'll see here there's like some brown
4:19
on the edge of the quarter the 65
4:21
quarter that is a giveaway that is
4:23
copper nickel clad but if you find a 65
4:26
data quarter really any quarter that
4:28
should be clad that doesn't have that
4:30
brown or kind of an orange copper 1995
4:33
uh stripe what year 1995 95 it could be
4:37
silver oh 78 so just double check all
4:40
your coins always take a close look to
4:42
see anything special in your hands5 not
4:45
95 dude we already have
4:47
halfing I know we enjoyed the state
4:50
quarter series putting that collection
4:52
together yeah and so far nothing of
4:54
value and that's okay that's what you
4:56
expect looking through as a coin the
4:57
surprise is if you find something really
4:59
cool we don't give up on this with my
5:01
vision this is uh 2044 but wow that's a
5:05
coin worth money in 2024 is a coin date
5:07
of
5:09
2044 coin from the future right so we go
5:13
back to the future and we stop it from
5:15
stealing the time machine bad Vision
5:18
yeah these are all these are all really
5:19
recent vintage quarters in the last the
5:21
last 20 years which are all clad again
5:24
though there are some errors you can
5:25
look for this is a n uh this is a 2005
