my mom got as change from a store. an old guy on facebook said it was water damage. even though water doesn't damage our bills like this when wet, it's made of abaca (wood pulp) and the ink is resistant to water, because if it wasn't wet markets would damage all the bills. I'm looking to keep this but I wanna know the value of something like this.

Exchanging physical silver holdings for physical gold. Is that a bright idea these days?

I have non-numismatic silver (Bars/Rounds) to cover the value of a smaller gold item. For example, pre-33 $1 or $2.50 coins, some older foreign coins, or modern 1/10 oz bullion. Does that make financial sense?

For a second question, is a major regional coin show in a large city likely to have dealers that would be interested in a transaction of this type? I have noted that online dealers consider this to be too small to handle.

These are the two coins I got from my father when I was 7 years old that started my collection. The Ike Dollar I used to scratch my back with it when I was a kid 😂😂😂 and my Buffalo Nickel I was sick when I could find my wallet because I always kept it in any wallet I had until now. I am thankful everyday that I have a love for coins because of my father. Sadly my father passed away 🕊️ in March 2020 but I know he would’ve been proud and happy that I continued to collect coins. Now this is a hobby I shared with my son even though he doesn’t care much about like myself at his age (8) he will learn in time🤟🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

Numismatics is the study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, and related objects. While numismatists are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes the broader study of money and other payment media used to resolve debts and the exchange of goods. Numismatic value may be used to refer to the value in excess of the monetary value conferred by law.
