Old Mint coins

[CHenry]

I am not a coin collector but after going through my parent house and sorting though stuff to keep, sell or donate, we got to a box of coins dad had been buying each year since 1965. Full untouched mint sets, single old pennies in plastic wrapping and such. I got some and my 2 siblings took some. They aren't worth anything to me, that I'm aware of but I'm open to any insight on a reason to keep em or a value if I were to sell them and where to take them to sell.

I buy coins at Yukon Jewelry and coins / Yukon Gold buyers. It is really the same place. I found them to be honest brokers. I never had an issue.

Didn't know that place existed. Gonna have to check it out. They have a 4 year old Facebook post saying they were selling silver bullets, which is intriguing

Best look at them. My grandad made each of us boys a gallon size bank that had no way to get the coins out unless you cut into it. This was done before 1959. So every coin in it was before 59.

I kept mine intact till I was around 35. My brothers cut into theirs when they were teens. One brother found a wheat penny that was sold for $300 and another found two Liberty Dimes that he sold for like $100 a piece.

So it pays to look. I still have all my coins that came out of mine, a gallon of wheat Pennie’s and other coins.

I have not had breakfast yet and was thinking mint chocolate coins.
It is the Holiday season.

Regular mint sets made after 1965 and before 1970 have the 40% silver Kennedy Half Dollar which is worth about $4 by itself. Mint sets made after 1969 contain no silver and are worth barely over face value. Mint Proof sets and Silver Proof sets are worth considerably more.
