And the photos above were after I gleaned out over 1500.00 in state quarters, Gold dollars and Jefferson nickels for him to carry to the bank.
I reported here that I was going to help a freind evaluate his fathers collection today. Well, I been at it all day. I promised an update. Below...
Welcome!! I am just jealous that you can still see those lines.:)
Just love it when that happens. Yes indeed you made yourself a nice profit on that transaction. Completely agree... $5.00-$7.00... Elvis Presley...
That one would have made my heart jump. The way that nickel was worn it does leave one thinking the date is 1913. @i.cutler is 100% correct. No...
