<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rggoodie, post: 49375, member: 1853&quot;]<b>It does happen</b></p><p><br /></p><p>About a month ago a friend of mine called me an asked, &quot;You&#039;re a coin collector,aren&#039;t you&quot;&nbsp; Responding with a positive they told me they were doing some work on their house that they had owned for 15 years and the previous owner had died. As they pulled a shelf out of a wall that had been built in the garage, they found a hand made box full of coins.&nbsp; They wanted to know if I would look at it for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>They brought it over with the new redbook - a book I don&#039;t use much since I collect Australian coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All the coins in the box just under 250 of them were&nbsp; half and silver dollars</p><p>1878 -1960&nbsp; After cataloging the coins and keeping the best 25 for my friends grandchildren and the next best 5 for myself. We sold the remaining coins off some for value some for bullion (depending on condition of the coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>And my friend took home close to $2000.00&nbsp; Not bad for doing a little remodeling in your garage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Moral of the story. - People do find money in their homes so don&#039;t be afraid of those weekend chores, they just might pay off.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Hey&nbsp; I got some beautiful silver dollars just for having the privledge of sorting and grading the coins- which was fun for me to do any way and I would have done it for free. Plus the bonus- I got a great education on US half and silver dollars.</p><p>&nbsp;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
