[QUOTE="pcrdnadave, post: 23999, member: 1672"]My grandmothers hoard was found in attic contained a rare $10,000 coin. My wife's grandfather is 82 years old and was a coin collector in the 50's when his children were growing up. Every now and then he'll pull out one of his 13 1-quart mason jars full of silver coins "collected" from that time. He's a cantankerous old fart and won't let anyone look through the coins. Certainly not likely to be any in there worth 10k but I wouldn't be surprised at all if a 1921 or 21-D dime or nice 21-S half was in there. I hope I can get to the pawn after the inevitable happens. He won't be cold before some the grandchildren go through the house. Anyhow, my point is that this type of situation is taking place all over the country as coin collectors from the 50's begin to pass away. You can bet there are plenty of really really good coins, and some worth thousands, still in jars in the back of the closet.[/QUOTE]
