- Oh! Oh, wow! 1960. Oh my gosh. Let's take a sneak peek inside of this. (Dan gasps) Oh my gosh. Welcome back to another storage locker adventure. Today we are in Fremont, California, literally down the road is where Tesla headquarters is. And the last time that I was here was when Tesla released their Model 3s. I bought this storage locker for $3,000. (cash register rings) That is a lot of money. I spent that much money because I saw something that could be gold, like literally gold and silver. Now the rest of the storage locker looks like it's trash, just garbage, a bunch of trash. But if the coin collection is there I figured I could get my money back. Now I know we've cut open a lot of safes recently, but we haven't had much success. So, my expectations are definitely tempered and I'm a little worried, 'cause I spent $3,000. But let's get into here, let's hope that there's coins, maybe we'll find some other stuff. Please be coins inside of here, please. (dramatic music) Okay, a little dust. Number 857, oh my gosh, okay. Okay, wait for the dust to settle here. (Dan blows) That's so much dust. Okay, let's take a look inside. Here's a lot of the stuff inside of it. Some of it, like I said, not like, I wouldn't say garbage but it's not things that's like, yes that's $3,000 worth of stuff. We've got some books. We've got some stuffed animals. We've got some kids' toys in here. Glued in April. This looks like a bunch of clothes right here, tons of clothes, some paperwork, a box spring, like I said, not too exciting, right. But then you come over here and this is what I saw inside of the pictures. And look closely at this that says cent, cent, pennies, cent, nickels. Lincoln cents right there and it's dusty. It doesn't look like anybody's touched in a long time. Foreign countries right there. And then you look over on this side and it's like, what is that? That looks like money books. Another thing that you would potentially store coins in. And then, oh my gosh, look right here. There's actual coins inside of there. Right there, I see coins. And then you look, we've got books. I can see these books from the side. It said coinage. So I figured these must be coin collectors. And then down here, another metal box, cobwebs everywhere, and there's coins! I see the coins! And then this giant thing right here. Okay, oh, it's locked. Look at this, it's locked, but the lock comes off of it. Okay, let's just start off right here. Let's take a sneak peek inside of this. (Dan gasps) Oh, my gosh. Nickels, nickels, nickels, pennies 1967. I don't know how good '67 is. '79 quarters. Okay, more quarters. What, 1950, 1960, special quarters. Yes! (Dan chuckles) We did it, it's not empty! There's actually a coin collection in here. I'm an instant coin collector. Oh, my gosh. They don't tell you much about the storage lockers. They keep that stuff private. The previous owner of this storage locker owned this for six years, paid $340 a month for this unit. And then let it lapse, didn't pay for it. Did not want the things that were inside of here, which now I'm looking at it and I'm going, oh my gosh, I can't believe they didn't want that, this is amazing. It is just me here today, I have no help. And we're gonna need to go find a legitimate coin collector person to give us the value of these things and see if I made more than $3,000. I have to think just in the currency value alone we're gonna meet it. But if some of this stuff is rare and has certain different markings on it, we could be well over $3,000. I don't know, dare I say 10,000, $20,000. This is so many coins. I've never done anything like this with a coin collection. Oh my gosh, my heart is beating so fast. (upbeat music) Arcade Motion, Sega Genesis. (upbeat music) Clothes. (upbeat music) Bunch of shoes. (upbeat music) Trash. (upbeat music) Brand new crock pot, never opened. (upbeat music) Just a bunch of drinking glasses. I mean if you're somebody that wants to buy storage lockers and sell them, I mean look at this. Life Studio, 59.99 shoes, still in the wrapping, perfect. I mean, I would imagine you can get 25, $30 for these shoes. They're great. (upbeat music) A literal garbage can that has a spider inside of it. Oh, that's gross. How is it still alive, what the heck? (upbeat music) I am flying through this though. Blankets. Get this thing cleaned out so we get to the coins. Barbies, I keep all the Barbies to take home to London. I also found a Nintendo 3DS and this one is really nice. It's just a pink one, in great shape, has the case, has the charger. I've found these in many storage lockers and I've been able to sell them for $120. This one has a case and it's in good shape. Definitely $120 for that right there. It's surprising, but it's true. We're in the back corner. Oh, my gosh! So rats got into this, and they've chewed it up. Don't wanna sniff in the rat poop. You know what? I'm not even gonna look in there. Hello Kitty. Wouldn't it be amazing if we also all of a sudden found Pokemon cards? It would be like the dream surprise here. (video squelches) Some quarters, like a dollar right there. - I don't care what we watch. - What the heck? Oh, my gosh, look at that. I think the rats dug a hole right into that. Another doll, still in its case Your lucky day London. That one, I remember reading that with my kids. It's all kitchen stuff. (Dan sneezes) Oh, my gosh, a Nintendo Wii I'm keeping that, Lincoln really wants one of those for Christmas. "Marley and Me" DVDs. DVDs everywhere. (upbeat music) Swimming suits, more giant bras. (upbeat music) We got some artwork and a propane tank. Okay, we are getting close to the coinage here. This may be the beginning of it. Tons of like nickel wrappers came out. So what people do sometimes is they will go to a bank and they'll buy rolled coins, just a bunch of rolled coins. And then they go through it and they sift through it and they try to find valuable ones or old ones that have slipped through. It looks like that's a thing that this person would do because wow, yes it is. If you're wondering how much stuff I just went through. Here it is, right here. This is all the stuff. You go to this box, you open it up and you just have all of these different things that help you, look at that. 1981 quarters, 1967 quarters. Whoa! Super old, I don't even know what those are, okay. These are the bicentennial quarters right here. That is something old. I'm gonna have to have that looked at. That is cool. Otto Koenig Von Bayern 1913. Does anybody know what that is? Lemme know what that thing is, wow! Canada, this are Canada's in there. Oh, wow, these are just random old coins from different countries right here. All those coins were inside that one little box right there. We have this entire box. Easy to fill, these are like the filling things right there. Look at that little magnifier guy. Remove tarnish. Coin sorter and there's some coins in it. (video squelches) I need to find a coin sorter, problem is nothing's really open here in San Francisco, Santa Clara County. This box, we have coins organized, not super old. Oh, that's heavy. Look at this, this is heavy. Look at all those old nickels, some of these might be, have some silver content to it, 'cause they're pretty old. What's this year? 1964, is there a '64 in here somewhere? '64, there you go. Look at those. Nickels, all those old nickels. Oh, that's so heavy. Okay, what else do we got here? What's inside this. Oh, I like seein' some currency here. Postal savings plan, defense stamps albums. Okay, I don't know, maybe there's some value to that. But you guys let me know, what is this? Are there value to those? (coins rattle) I mean, look at all these cups. What's with all these cups, just sitting here. I just don't know, I mean, this is amazing, so many coins. (upbeat music) Look at all that stuff. So many things. This thing is almost full, and we still haven't even started on this stuff. Like maybe this bin has more things in it. I mean that's a lot. This is a lot. And then up here too. This is amazing. All right, I'm running out of batteries on this. So I'm gonna switch out batteries. Okay, these are all 1976 bicentennial quarters. Oh, look at these $1 right here, $1 coins. There we go. Oh, what are these coins? Oh boy. Shell's coin game. Shell's coin game, what the heck is that? Oh wow, these are really cool, like old fairs, just different types of coins. That's a lotta dimes. A half dollar with President Barack Obama on it. (upbeat music) Okay, this metal box right here says boxing card. Boxing cards, I did not see that until just now. Oh my, wait a second. Have you ever in your life heard of boxing cards? I didn't expect to see that. It does have the key on the inside of it right here. (metal clangs) Do we want this? Oh wow, oh wow! Oh jeez, look at this. '62, that is so cool. Look at those half dollars, wow. '48, 1948, it's a peace dollar, 1943, 1943. Whoa! Even older ones. 1920, 1943, '49, '52, '54, '57, '58. Oh my gosh, I love how they put the newspaper in to keep 'em up. All of these are from the '70s. Says right there on the side, half dollar. I don't know how I missed that. Oh, we didn't even open this box. This old dusty box. Oh! 1938 pennies. (upbeat music) Okay, well this one says half dollars. Might as well look at this one too. Okay, not as many in here, but still. 1961, '63, '64, that's a lotta half dollars. Okay, commemorative quarters. from the states, 2004. Yep, here we go again. All full, look at this, all full, yep, all full. Kinda cool to have the entire set of quarters. I'm gonna put those aside also. I mean, they're not old or anything, they're from the 2000s. I don't know, maybe there's some value in that, more than the quarter. I don't know as much about coins, but I feel like we've already made back some, we'll make back the money. Okay, not too much inside of here. France. Oh my gosh. Oh wow! There's all the different years, if you're somebody that's keepin' track at home and you're wondering, which years are the valuable ones. This just says cent on it. Oh, lots of cents, 1906, 1918, 1920, 1945, 1952. We've got some help, that's coming to take out all of the stuff and that stuff's gonna be gone and they're going to either sell some of it, or donate to Goodwill, or throw some of it away, whatever things they can salvage. So it's kind of a nice deal. Like I pay them to take the stuff and then they can make money off of putting in the work to sell the stuff. This is not going anywhere. We still have all of those to go through. And all of those to go through. This is so long, this is so much stuff. And now I need to consolidate and figure out can I travel home with this? What could be inside? (coins jingle) More coins. 1776, whoa! $12 just in $1 coins right there, not bad. Bicentennial quarters there. Okay, now we got some John F. Kennedy half dollars. They only made this for a few years because it was so confusing that it was a dollar and it looks the size of a quarter. So, that's a great bag right there. It is packed with quarters. (upbeat music) Look at all those pennies. Oh yeah, more pennies. Okay, how about this guy? These are nickels, old nickels goin' back 1936, okay, I like it. More nickels, so many nickels. All right, and here, these are actually full, '63 dimes, '62 D, '62 dimes, 1960, all of this is all dimes. The whole thing, dimes. I mean it says it right there on the top, but. (upbeat music) Oh my gosh. What, what? Look at that. Oh my gosh. Look at that old gun. Okay, wow. And there is the fifth. Remington Arms. Look at all of those. Definitely can't get on a plane with these. Oh, those are cool. Oh yeah, there's another one. There's another old gun. There's the ammunition for those guns. That probably was a coin at some point. That's just a piece of metal. $10 from Shanghai, commemorative coin from 1965. The more Chinese foreign currency. There's just so much stuff in here, guys. We have to go through it with like an expert to figure out what the heck all this stuff is. '62, these are all half dollars right here. All of those. (upbeat music) More dimes, not too many inside of there though. (upbeat music) 1916, are these dimes? These are all dimes. (upbeat music) Look at the Buffalo nickels, the Indian head on there. (upbeat music) Just keeps coming guys. We got pennies from the '80s and '90s. (upbeat music) Oh wow, these are all dimes from the '40s, '30s, '40s, and '50s, they look amazing and they are totally silver. This so heavy, the silver on these is definitely worth more than the actual 10 cents. That's great that these are all separated. That's a lotta money worth of dimes right there. Dimes from the '80s. Dimes from the '90s and 2000s. I could probably take those out. Lots of quarters and Duke Ellington United States Mint. (upbeat music) That's the coin collection. That is, I think all of it. I think, I think that's all the coins. That was a lotta coins to go through. There's a lot that I'm going to have to go take to an expert. A lotta times we've gone through these storage lockers, we show stuff in the videos and then it isn't until you guys show us in the comments below that stuff is really worth stuff. And then it gives me a chance to look through it. So, I'm gonna take all of these coins home, put them at my house, put this video out, let you guys comment on it and then go through and sift out some of the things that are valuable. And also take these to a coin collector expert. I gotta find somebody that's good and legitimate that actually will not just try to rip me off. And so we can get a real value on this, but this has been fun. This is one of the reasons why you do the storage lockers is to find cool things like this. And yes, I feel bad for the people that abandoned this. And they had it here for six years and paid $25,000 to store all this stuff in here. If there's anything lesson in this, there's two for you. One, if you have a buncha junk, don't leave it in a storage locker, get it out of there, throw it away, take it to Goodwill, sell it, do what you need to do. It's kind of silly to just hold onto it and pay for it for all these years. The other thing is, if you're looking for a way to make money, I know that it's 2020, 2021 where the economy is in a weird spot, it's not easy to find jobs. You can actually make some money off of finding the things. Yes, we loaded up this entire truck with stuff, but if I was local and I took a lot of that stuff home, I could have definitely made some money just off of that to potentially even pay off all the money that we spent for this unit. I think we're gonna make it back with the coins, but it's not a bad way, be smart about it, to actually make some additional income for you and your family in this weird year that's goin' on. Thank you guys for watching. And let me know if you want me to do more storage locker videos. I know I've done a ton of them. Are you sick of 'em? Do you want me to do some more? Let me know. I've still got some work to do, but I'm gonna let you guys enjoy watching another video. If you haven't seen one of our past storage locker videos, check around here, there's another one that should be fun. This was cool. I've never seen so many bras in my life, by the way. The biggest bras that I've ever seen. I really wanna find my own Pokemon cards. It's worth at least the amount of money that it is. (Dan sneezes) - [Child] Hi. - Beep, beep.
