AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC Unearths Hidden Treasures with Bulk Junk Coin Lots – A Collector’s Dream!
Memphis, TN – October 26, 2023 – AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC, based right here in Memphis at 123 S Front St, is making waves in the collecting world – not with auto parts, but with coins! Yep, you heard that right. While you might know us for keeping cars running, we’ve got a fascinating side hustle: sourcing and selling bulk lots of “junk” coins, and collectors are going wild. For those scratching their heads, “junk” coins aren't actually junk in the throw-away sense. It’s collector lingo for older, circulated coins – often pre-1965 – that are no longer in pristine condition. These coins aren’t worth a lot individually, but when you buy them in bulk, they become a treasure trove of potential. “We stumbled into this a while back,” explains a representative from AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC. “We were helping a client clear out an estate, and there was a huge amount of old coins. Rather than just melting them down – which is something that happens a lot – we thought, ‘Hey, there are people who want these!’” And boy, were they right. What’s the Appeal of “Junk” Coins? So, why are collectors snapping up these seemingly worn-out coins? There are several reasons: Silver Content: Prior to 1965, U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars were made of 90% silver. Even heavily circulated, these coins still contain valuable silver. While the silver price fluctuates, it provides a solid base value for the lot. “A lot of people buy these as a way to invest in silver, basically,” explains one avid collector who frequently purchases lots from AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC. “It’s a tangible asset.” Collectible Value: While not every coin is a key date or a rare variety, every lot contains the potential for a hidden gem. A collector could find a valuable error coin, a rare date, or simply a coin in surprisingly good condition. It’s the thrill of the hunt! Historical Significance: These coins aren't just metal; they’re pieces of history. Holding a coin that circulated during the Great Depression, World War II, or the Civil Rights Movement connects you to the past in a tangible way. Crafting and Art: Some folks don't collect for value; they collect for creativity. Old coins are fantastic materials for jewelry making, mosaics, steampunk art, and other creative projects. Affordability: Buying in bulk means you can get a lot of coins for a relatively low price. It’s a great way to build a collection without breaking the bank. AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC’s Approach: Quality & Variety What sets AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC apart from other bulk coin sellers? They focus on providing a good mix and a reasonable price. “We don’t just dump a bunch of pennies and nickels in a bag,” the representative explains. “We try to include a variety of denominations – dimes, quarters, halves, even some older large cents if we can find them. We also try to pull out the really obvious junk – heavily damaged or corroded coins – so you’re getting a lot that's worth digging through.” Each lot AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC offers typically contains between 5 and 20 pounds of coins, a good size for both serious collectors and those just starting out. The composition of each lot varies, adding to the excitement of the purchase. You might find Buffalo Nickels, Mercury Dimes, Standing Liberty Quarters, Walking Liberty Halves, and more! “We’ve gotten some really cool stuff in lately,” the representative shares. “We recently processed a lot that included several silver war nickels and a couple of early 1900s Indian Head pennies. You never know what you’re going to find.” Beyond the Coins: AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC’s Commitment While AUTOZONE TEXAS LLC is primarily known for automotive parts, they’re clearly passionate about this unexpected side venture. They carefully sort and package each lot, ensuring it arrives safely and ready for inspection. “We want our customers to be happy,” the representative says. “We know this is a hobby for a lot of people, and we want to help them enjoy it.
