I’m sure that we all sell on ebay to make a profit, right? We may shop thrift stores everyday, order our inventory from a wholesaler, or even make our own products, but did you know that you may have ebay inventory handed to you every single day without you knowing. Turning $20 into $480 may sound too good to be true, but it really isn’t, and ebayers are doing this every single day because they know one simple tip that you may have been missing.
Did you know that coins that were minted in 1964 or before, are 90% silver? That means that they are worth their weight, and much more than their face value. Take a look at a current chart that represents the actual worth of each coin found on Currency DeBasement (found HERE):
As you can see, some normal currency that we are using everyday, is actually worth a lot more. I’m not suggesting that you melt your own coins, I’m not sure if that is even legal, however I am suggesting that you sell them on ebay! There are a lot of sellers who do this for a living, and the return on investment is HUGE! Lets take a look at a couple of completed listings:
These sellers turned $20 into $485.95, $1.50 into $37, and $3 into $70! Now you may be thinking, “Where do I get these coins?” Well they are still circulating in your everyday life, so you will want to check your coins. My mother has been a waitress for over 25 years, and she collects her coins through out the whole year to pay for her Christmas presents. I don’t take the coins from my mom, but I do help her identify which ones are valuable and which ones are not. Then I can sell them for her.
So with this knowledge, you now can become successful at flipping $20 into $480! Finding these coins can be quite fun, and with a little bit of creativity, they can be easy to locate!

Thanks Tristen I will keep my eyes open to make sure I start collecting these coins rather than spending them!
Awesome tip, Tristen! Thanks!
I Love Tristen Math 17 Dimes + 2 Nickels = $ 44.10
Awesome,
Dennis
This was an awesome tip. I mentioned this to my family yesterday, and in Canada coins Pre – 1969 are made with Silver as well. My sister went to a store yesterday and they gave her 2 quarters back from 1967. I took it a step further and went to the bank to get 2 rolls of quarters and even tho there were no silver coins, I did find a collectible quarter in the midst worth about $2.00. Thanks now I will be going back to the bank and get some more.
It should be noted that the only US nickels containing silver were minted from 1942-1945. Your blog post says “coins minted in 1964 and before” Of course, pennies do not contain silver either.
You would be LUCKY if you found 1 90% silver coin in your change ever. I work part time as a bartender and I have searched every roll in my register every week. You know how many 90% silver coins I have found? You guessed it 0.
