After gold, silver and this rare copper, your bound to find some platinum...

Congrats.

I would love to see a YouTube video of you going into you bank to collect a stash like this...
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.

Check the Guatemalan one in the second frame also. I can't see the date but it might be silver.

Nice score indeed. Looks like 30-40 bucks worth of stuff.

Do not eschew the smashed pennies. People collect them. Do I also see some 68 ca dimes?

Keep posting these. I love to see what you get each time. One of these days you might have a coin where someone on this forum offers you $25-50 for it.

Hey hey
