Captain Coin Collector

Hi, my name is is Andrew and I am a coin collector! I have been collecting coins all my life and recently started to share some of my experiences on KZread starting in 2016. I have come to love this hobby whether it is learning new things, coin roll hunting, or just sorting through my collection! I like to post videos of my coin roll hunts, currency stack hunts, news in the coin and currency world, informational videos and more. I hope you stick around and if you are new to the channel, hit that subscribe button! Thank you so much for supporting my channel over the last few years and getting us to 2,000 Subscribers! It's been so surreal how much we have been able to grow in such a short amount of time. I will continue to create videos and hunt coins so stay tuned for the future!

    On my penny hunts I only average 5 to 8 copper pennies per roll. And 4 or 5 wheat pennies per box.

    Currently I average 8-10 coppers per roll, some boxes getting up to 12 per roll. I usually get 12-14 wheat Pennie’s per box, rarely do I get single digits in my area.

    @captaincoincollector2 күн бұрын

    Because we do not travel internationally, I don’t have to worry about having more than $5 worth of Pennie’s to travel home. I’d usually go through about 3 boxes of Pennies on average, meaning I usually come home with 1200 to 1500 Pennie’s. I do however get stopped by TSA often for traveling with coins in my pack.

    I got hooked on pennies back in 1956-57 Our neighbor , Chuck Janes ,had a donut shop . He told me every time an Indian head penny crossed his counter, he tossed it into a cigar box. He also saved Barber dimes . He said he only saved coins that weren't worn slick. I found this out one evening when I showed him my meager Indian head collection. Him and his wife, Dot would play cards with my parents. I would go around the table looking for old pennies and Indian nickels. I think back then, everyone had a few Indian head pennies stashed in a drawer someplace, just like we have old copper pennies now, and they would eventually just spend them. But , as a kid I was shocked that he would still get them in his shop. He said , "Yes." like it was no big deal. So..... I set my target date at 1920. I would only save pennies from before that date. Years later, it was only pennies before 1940. Old Chuck Janes had a cigar box under his kitchen sink level to the top with Indians and another box of Barber dimes. That was the incentive that started me saving pennies. Never bought rolls or boxes from the bank. Only went through pocket change. It's a habit I've never been able to break. Chuck also collected stamps. Another obsession he helped launch me on. He'd give me envelopes of old United States stamps. He gave me his childhood arrow head collection too [ that I still have today] He also gave me my first Gilbert chemistry set. [The bottles were all made of wood] Everyone should have a neighbor like old Chuck Janes. I'm an old man myself, now. I try to start kids off collecting.... anything. It's a sad world we live in today and what's more wholesome than a kid collecting stuff that others shun, or think it's just junk. Just my thoughts tonight........ 9:30.... past my bedtime.

    To all you folks who think hoarding copper pennies is a good idea i urge you to think this thorough to the day you may actually want to cash them in for thier copper value. If you think congress is ever going to let you bring these to a scrap yard , i very much doubt it. They will probably do exactly what canada did. If you think you're ever going to find a buyer, i doubt you could make any profit after the manual labor it takes to physically move these things and OMG heaven forbid the shipping cost. Ask yourself does this really make sense? 😊

    This comment has some factual data. However, I am saving copper as not only an investment though, I coin roll hunt for the enjoyment of the hobby. Because I am already going through a box, I have the time to separate the coppers that I find. Will I make a profit from it? Who knows, time can only tell. If I can’t bring them to the scrap yard, I’m sure my grandson will spend them in 50 years as they will be passed along as relics of the past.

    Always good to hoard copper pennies! These days, banks don't like handing out coin, especially in large amounts so I'm glad I started sorting a decade or so ago. These days I just go through my change. If your bank is cool about it and aren't out of change all the time then I'd say go for it.

    I have 40 lbs of "trash" Cu pennies (ones that don't look AU condition or better). Locally, these days, I find coppers pose themselves at a rate of about 10-12%, and around 8 wheats/bx worth. I have a box from a bank in the Cherokee Nation I can't wait to get into, although I do have one local (Texas) box to peruse before that. Pretty good Cu % rate, not too shabby! Sounds like next time I'm up north, I should be picking up New England boxes.

    No, the best time to start hoarding Copper pennies was back in 1981, but the second best time is right now. I've been keeping pennies since I was a kid, but I didn't start keeping them specifically for their Copper until I was in my mid to late 20s, which was 20 years ago. Granted, I don't search penny boxes at all, and I never have. I simply prefer to use cash, for a variety of reasons, and I always save my change. I keep all pre-'82 Copper pennies and all pre-2004 American nickels. I have 100+ pounds of Copper pennies...so probably 16,000 to 17,000+ pennies. I have about 75 to 80 pounds of nickels as well. Copper pennies are already in tradable form and will sell for above their face value already. As the dollar continues to devalue and things like Copper, Silver, and Gold continue to reflect that devaluation in their dollar denominated price rises, people will eventually locate the value they are looking for in commodities like the various monetary metals, which will include Copper and Nickel. Right now, they are being distracted with a variety of technological abstractions masquerading as money, but that will end eventually too.
