<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin_nut, post: 4910054, member: 80148&quot;]Some years ago I helped a new widow in that way. After her husband (my former co worker) died, she called and said she found a tool box in the closet, with a pad lock on it, and it was so heavy she could not lift it. She suspected it was full of money. I went over there with my master key (24&quot; bolt cutter) and sure enough, it was full of coins and stamps. She was kind of broke while all the probate stuff was going on, so at her request I went to my favorite big coin shop in Seattle. Used my hand truck to haul that heavy box of silver in there and the owners spent a long time sorting through all those coins. Apparently there were few if any rare or collectible coins, mostly like &#039;junk silver&#039;. They had a neat coin counting machine. The stamps were all 1 cent, blue or purple color, and basically worthless. The silver dollars I wanted, they said they would pay $300 for them, so I handed her 3 honey bees (hundred dollar bills) along with the check from the coin shop for $5,500. Everyone was happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
