This Viral Online Thread Has 30 Coin Collectors Sharing The Gems Of All Their Collections

But of course, the royal butt!

Don't think collectors are going to spend a fortune to acquire those lol. I think I still have a box somewhere filled with them from the 80s.

Those aren't undated coins. Notice the one in the pack actually shows the date. These are silver quarters that were in circulation and are highly worn out. The date would be at the feet of Lady Liberty on the front, but are worn down. You can't see them in the pic, but if you were to look at one of these, you'd be able to barely make out the date on them. These types of coins are considered junk silver as they are so worn they have less silver than they did when newly minted. The old mercury silver dimes can be even worse; which is where the saying "one thin dime" comes from.

"12 beautiful young ladies and one ugly one!"

Gold Eagles are made for collectors and worth a lot more than the $50 they're registered at. This one was removed from packaging for some reason, which you shouldn't do as it takes them from collectible coin to junk gold.

Soooo shiiiiiny ....

I inherited my grandmother's necklace with a coin like this set on a coin bezal and on a rope chain. I feel like a pimp when I wear it and it's a heavy necklace, the coin alone is 33 grams, plus the accoutrement. There is a bracelet that is full of these coins. It's so heavy.

so I checked out the reddit page to find out what this was and ofc it had an answer. @Parking_Jelly_6483 says: At the NYC World’s Fair of 1964-65, there was an exhibit at the Hall of Science (was intended to be permanent and is still operating but as a museum; the New York Hall of Science) in which you could put a dime. In those days, most were still silver, though the transition to the clad dimes occurred in 1965. Their device, I assume a isotope neutron source, would radiate the dime and make it radioactive. Like other museums that did this, they had a Geiger counter to show that it was indeed radioactive. The ones from the Hall of Science were not in holders. They didn’t talk about the isotopes generated (or I forgot what they said) but the majority had a short half-life, so they were gone usually within minutes of leaving the exhibit. One isotope, silver-108m, does have a much longer half-life of about 400 years. So if you have one of these dimes, it is still radioactive. (short v)

it's a double headed coin, but not necessarily from 1967. You can buy that coin new today and it's going to be stamped 1967.

I have 10 of these. Can't remember the exact years though, but I know these range from 1916 to 1945. Some are worth money while others aren't really worth anything. It depends on the year and how many were circulated.

Apparently this person just.. found this on the ground. (this coin is worth $10-$15)

Received one of these in change after a purchase at a drugstore in the early 80s. Wonderful moment for a young coin collector.

1964 was the last year for silver coins in the US.

Okay, I may have stopped collecting coins 20 years ago, but even I know that's a Morgan dollar, minted over 80 years AFTER the draped bust quarter was replaced.

Literally only worth two or three cents in this condition.

I'm wondering why this being said to be possibly fake.
