<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TaborTot22, post: 1513204, member: 39398&quot;]I had an TV that I didn&#039;t need anymore and was trying to sell it for US coins on Craigslist.&nbsp; A buyer contacted me and said he had 150 silver dimes.&nbsp; When I expressed interest, he said that he would let me have his ex-wife&#039;s coin collection because it just sat around and made his son sad everytime he saw it.&nbsp; He wanted to just get rid of it.&nbsp; Other than the dimes, I didn&#039;t really know what else he had.&nbsp; He asked for the TV and $200 in cash.&nbsp; Not knowing what dates he had, I knew that the silver melt value for silver dimes is about $2 each so it seemed like a good deal (although I am not looking to melt).&nbsp; I went to his house about 40 miles away and was shocked at all he was willing to give me for that price.&nbsp; I ended up trading the TV (about $100 in value) and $200 in cash to the guy and he gave me the following:</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>1884 Morgan Dollar</p><p>1867 3-Cent Piece</p><p>1867 2-Cent Piece</p><p>3 SBA 1979 Dollars</p><p>2001 One Ounce Silver Eagle Dollar</p><p>6 Barber Dimes (from 1899-1916)</p><p>55 Mercury Dimes (from 1916-1945)</p><p>73 Silver Roosevelt Dimes (from 1946-1964)</p><p>241 Jefferson Nickels (from 1938-1964 including 22 War Nickles)</p><p>1 Buffalo Nickel (1930)</p><p>786 Wheat Pennies (38 1909/1910&#039;s, 43 1920&#039;s, 84 1930&#039;s, 264 1940&#039;s, and 355 1950&#039;s)</p><p>&nbsp; (Semi-Key Dates included were 1909 VDB and 1912 D)</p><p>14 Canadian Pennies (from 1920-1965)</p><p>1 Canadian Dime (1973)</p><p>1 Norwegian Krone Coin (1965)...no idea what that is!</p><p>2 Uncirculated Jefferson Nickel Rolls (one roll is 2005 Bison and other roll is 2005 Ocean View)</p><p>8 Sets of the Westward Journey Commemorate Nickle Set</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, he gave me two sterling silver spoons, a pocket knife, a class ring and what looks like a wedding ring (I doubt if the diamond is real but I&#039;ll check it out). </p><p><br /></p><p>Wow!&nbsp; I told him that if he has any friends who also has a coin collection they want to get rid of to let me know!&nbsp; I tallied everything up and it looks like I came away with about $400-500 worth of coins (numismatic value...not melt value).&nbsp; Not a bad investment.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
