Though we're hoping to get out at least one more time this year, Sue and I cashed in our clad coins from this year's hunts. Sue will use hers for extra Christmas shopping money and I spent mine at a coin show to add to my precious metal holdings.
Sue only hunted about half as many hunts as I did but came in with a respectable $133.14 which is shown in the pile of loose coins. I counted and stacked mine so that I had an accurate count before taking them to my credit union and dumping them in the coin machine which has no fees. My clad totals were......2288 coins worth $345.13 There were 388 pennies, 222 nickels, 650 dimes, 1,017 quarters, 1 half, and 10 dollar coins. At the coin show I bought a French 20 Franc gold coin and used what was left to buy 23 silver quarters.
The silver coins were priced at $11.75 per dollar and the gold coin was priced at $277 which at the time was about $4.50 over spot gold price.
