[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 1243072, member: 6763"]The last one (house/tag/estate sale) that I went to the seller had a bunch of coins for sale. I asked how much and he told me that he had already turned down an offer of $100+ that morning. It was all junk, common Indian cents, Buffs, etc. I told him that he should have taken to offer. Value? Max about $75 retail. On the other hand, a buddy hits them all the time. A couple of months ago he hit a tag sale early, 5th or 6th on line. When the doors opened, he rushed to the counter and asked about the coins, another guy said: Hey I was in line first. He replied, so, I got here first. The seller had a suitcase (don't know how large) full of stuff. he was told $600 firm. He looked at one album and it was a complete set of Franklin $1/2. Worth about $500+ in junk silver, so he bought the lot. Loooooooog story short (yeah, I know, too late for that) anyway. The next day, Sunday,, he sold the junk silver in the bag for over $2400 at a coin show. And he hadn't finished going thru the bag. He is always buying junk (bowls, plates, whatever) silver & selling it at the show for a nice profit.[/QUOTE]
