<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin_nut, post: 7528275, member: 80148&quot;]Reading the foregoing posts reminded me of the time I helped someone liquidate a coin &quot;collection&quot;. A co worker retired and in less than 2 years dropped dead at home. First the new widow called me asking for help with the guns he had laying all over the house, some loaded. Later she called and said she found a steel tool box in the closet with a pad lock on it, and it was so heavy she could not lift it. She said she thought it was full of coins. I went over there with my 24&quot; bolt cutters (&quot;master key&quot;) and snipped the lock off. Yep, sure enough, box was full of mostly silver coins. She agreed that I could take to the one big coin shop in Seattle where I was known and a regular. I had to use a hand truck to move that heavy tool box. The 2 brothers who ran the shop spent a few hours sorting through all the coins, looking for rare dates (none found), and removing bent coins, which would jam up their automatic coin counting machine. I guess the whole lot was &quot;junk silver&quot;, and they made an offer a bit over $5000. I asked how much of that was for the Morgans, and he said $300. I took the Morgans for myself and gave the widow woman 3 honeybees ($100 bills) plus the check from the coin shop. Everyone was happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
