Found Silver Coins

[whitey]

I purchased an old farm home.  In doing some yard work I've found lots of silver coins.  Dimes, quarters, 50 cent pieces, once coins, 100 ounce bricks.  

I've checked with a few places in the city and they say that coins that have been purchased as an investment (1980's, receipts show date), have been gone through for specialty coins.

Any thoughts?  Trade in for face value, Hold?  Private sell?

Thanks

Hold. Inflation is on its way as the next stage in my opinion. Or exchange the bricks for us silver or gold eagles or some with someone. More divisible.

My first question to you would be is if you are a collector of precious metals what kind of collector or holder are you? That will help guide you in your decision on what to do and how to do it. If you're not a collector or holder then that's all together different but first answer the question at the beginning of this post and let us know. It's a wonderful thing to find currency it's even better when it turns out to be hard asset. Congratulations you'll have fun burning the value how much you may have if not you will learn more information is power

Got photos? Some may be worth way more than spot value and you may not get best price selling to trade or exchanging. Congrats on your find! 100 ounce bricks alone in the region of $1800 each.

I’m not a collector.

I didn’t plan on holding on to it.

Im a young entrepreneur, so the idea of investing in cash is appealing.
I’m trying to figure out how to post pictures.

thanks

I'd keep the brick in me living room and every time I looked at it... It would be a reminder of good fortune.

Where theres silver there may be gold - I would get hold of a metal detector and go through the whole house and vicinity lol.

I'm liking this thread already. Hang on to your good fortune mate. There are sharks everywhere who would give you the minimum they could get away with.

Hang onto for dear life is my advice. Decide to sell then that is your choice and decision but make sure don't get less than silver spot value for it. You can find the value of spot silver on Kitco website https://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html

I believe your luck will only improve with time as we could be in bull market for precious metals (PMs) and in the next 5 - 10 years PMs be the best investment you make as young entrepreneur. I have stocks, bonds but decided to diversify into Gold and Silver and bought majority of my stack in late 2018 and it has outperform both bonds and stocks.

You have been very lucky to find your treasure chest now sit tight and hold on to it.

You found it so it cost you nothing, correct? In that case hold on to it for a few years.

Well what you have there is a Vintage A-Mark protruded stacker bar. Prob about $50 premium over spot per bar. With original receipt maybe more.

The coins may be worth a look for better dates and conditions . 
I help people in Southern California sell their collections quite often . 
when people find something like  this, and aren’t a collector  , what I usually suggest is to sell the coins  for the silver or numismatic value and keep the big bars for future investment . Then You can either take the cash , or trade the small silver for gold coins or bars . That way if you need some extra money in the future , you can easily sell the big silver and gold a lot quicker than piecing our small parts of the collection .

This!

Btw, what do you mean by "investing in cash"?? Cash loses its worth continually...

HOLD ... HOLD ... silver is way too cheap right now.
Take your time to find out about your hoard then when silver is double it's current spot price then consider selling some or all.
Avoid the temptation to sell the lot for a silly "low" price.
