<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 4185253, member: 74624&quot;]In this context I like the idea.&nbsp; Since your customer is older then I&#039;d definitely take her up on her offer to go through the coins.&nbsp; If you do find some coins that are worth more than face or bullion value then I&#039;d make her a fair offer over face.&nbsp; Making her happy and getting her trust could work in your favor.&nbsp; I&#039;d bet she knows other people in her age group who may have coins lying around and having her trust may get you more contacts.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago a close friend of mine mentioned to one of her elderly friends that I collected coins.&nbsp; Her friend told me that she inherited her mothers coin collection and asked me if I would go through the collection to see if it was worth anything.&nbsp; She wanted&nbsp; to sell it but keep a few nice pieces for her great niece and great nephew.&nbsp; The collection was stored in her attic in over seven large office paper boxes.&nbsp; Unfortunately, some of the proof coins toned from being stored in the attic.&nbsp; However, I found over 17 ounces of gold coins and several mint state large cents.&nbsp; Although I didn&#039;t feel comfortable making offers on most of the collection, I did organize it and take it to a trusted dealer who payed her a fair price for the parts she wanted to sell.&nbsp; What she initially thought was a collection worth a few hundred dollars turned into a check for over $27000.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
