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.

Mint 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.

Some of these are mint proof sets. Others are just random coins dad had in a ziplock bag.

Here are a few examples of what I have.

I was thinking the same thing those chocolate mints in tin foil that look like coins.
