Prepping on a budget if you have some time to spare. Turn a nickel (five cents) into $2.72.

That’s almost FREE SILVER.
Silver nickels were made during WW2 due to the nickel shortages. These nickels were made between 1942 and 1945. And they’re still heavily circulated in the wild.

If you find a nickel with a mint mark above Monticello (Thomas Jefferson’s home). You’ve found silver.

Coin roll hunting how to:
1-Go to the bank, buy some rolled nickels
2-pick out the silver nickels spend or sell the rest.

Granted, it’s hard to spend nickels back into circulation but if you’re doing this in moderation, it can be done. You can also sell them back to the bank.

**Some banks now charge a fee to return mass amounts of coins in a single transaction. If you happen to bank with a butt-wipe like that, you can also sell them back one transaction at a time.

Sharing this info doesn’t help me. In fact it makes it harder for me to find them. It’s a great past-time with the kiddos and grandkids that doesn’t actually cost a cent. It also introduces them to REAL MONEY.

Once you introduce a kid to REAL MONEY it sticks with them for life, I’m proof of that.
There should be a “D”, “P” or “S” above Monticello.

They’re also very dark colored nickels usually. The dirtiest looking nickel is likely your silver nickel.
Dimes, quarters and half dollars minted 1964 and earlier are 90% silver. They’re not as easily found these days but you can find them, for sure!

Kennedy half dollars 1965-1970 are 40% silver.

Who buys coins that contain silver? Jewelers, coin shops, pawn shops and reputable online retailers.
People also buy them on social media platforms and they can also be sold at your local auction houses. They’re super easy to liquidate as long as you know where.
