<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TaborTot22, post: 1912159, member: 39398&quot;]I attended another local auction today but was floored at that I saw and what I heard.&nbsp; Here is just a portion of what was for sale:</p><p><br /></p><p>537 Silver Canada Dollar Coins</p><p>12140 silver Roosevelt/Mercury Dimes</p><p>3000 Washington Quarters</p><p>40 Franklin Half Dollars</p><p>3000 clad Eisenhower Dollars</p><p><br /></p><p>plus many other things such as Prestige Sets, Proof Sets, Silver Proof Sets, Premiere Silver Proof Sets and much more. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I totaled this up right, this was nearly 1756 total ounces of silver ($34,500+ right now). </p><p><br /></p><p>However, the story that I heard about these coins was even more amazing. </p><p><br /></p><p>According to the auctioneers, the guy died and left his entire estate to the county fairgrounds. As they searched through the house to make inventory for the auction, they initially found A LOT MORE silver.&nbsp; They didn&#039;t know what to do with it so because SilverTowne (Winchester, IN) was only 30 minutes away, they decided to sell it to them.&nbsp; When the fairground trustees walked away from SilverTowne, they had received nearly $240,000 from the silver coins.&nbsp; Then, when they went back into the house to sort inventory of the remaining items for the auction, they came across 10 different safes in the house that contained the stated coins above.&nbsp; They decided to sell it at the auction to hopefully get more money than what SilverTowne paid. </p><p>This guy had over $250,000 worth of silver US/Canada coins in his house.&nbsp; They found coins in closets, the attic, secret chambers/passageways, under floorboards and they even found stashes of silver coins buried under the ground in his crawlspace.&nbsp; I was absolutely amazed. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although I don&#039;t have crazy deep pockets like others that were there (one guy bought at least 2000 silver quarters), I was able to purchase 34 rolls of silver Roosevelt dimes, 4 rolls of Mercury Dimes, 2 Rolls of Franklin Halves and some other various things including a box of 24 different Redbooks (years range from 1964-2005).</p><p><br /></p><p>Everything was selling for under melt except for the Canada Silver Dollars.&nbsp; I think people thought they contained the same amount as a Morgan/Peace.&nbsp; Lots of people got great deals on coins today.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was a day that I&#039;ll never forget.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
