2 1950 Jeffersons no mint mark. 2020P is slightly struck thru with damage near it.

I have an honest question, really not trying to be a jerk. These are neat and it's cool to find something unexpected and nice, but what do you do with the coins afterward?

Do they go in an album or a jar? They're not financially worth slabbing so what does one do with dozens/hundreds/thousands of cool but low value raw coins? Or is the thrill of the hunt its own reward?

Drive to Las Vegas and play the nickel slot machines.

Believe it or not, there is a world of coin collecting that does not involve slabs. 😀

Free silver is always welcome. And the hunt can be fun. Once in a box of nickels I found an error worth a few thousand dollars.

Sometimes it's fun to "find" coins rather than just pull out the credit card and buy someone else's finds. 😉

That's a good haul for a box. And none of the keepers had rolling machine damage.

Excellent haul for a box. I like that die crack. It looks like a $ sign! 👍🏻 👍🏻

It’s like metal detecting. You never know what you will find. It’s just part of a hobby that some find very enjoyable.

They don't have slots that take money anymore. Now it's all paper. Paper in receipt out. Take to cashier and get paid.

No one has answered my question though. My question was:

Here’s a hint. I have a few more stashes also!

@amwldcoin thanks, that answers that question...you use them to buy tube socks!

Seriously though, thank you. So you create a horde and know they are there and have a look, or resell, or etc from time to time. Seems reasonable. Fortunately (or not) I don't have the packrat tendency, with coins at least, but I can mostly understand the appeal.

I put them in flips or cardboard 2x2.Store them in coin boxes.I go through the boxes every year or two.I'm pretty sure they will end up in a coinstar when I die.

LOL! They are something to do for my heirs. I've probably got 20-30 BU sets, 50 or more circ sets minus the war nickels now, and several thousand circ and BU rolls! No Circs after 1959 though.
