<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 615429, member: 9167&quot;]I thought this was a neat story, so I&#039;ll share it. About a week ago a co-worker called me and said his mother was coming down for a visit. Knowing I collect coins, he asked her to bring some she had found a few years back. Apparently, one evening while his mother was sitting down to eat dinner, the kitchen sink decided to burst a pipe, sending water all over the place. While cleaning she had to remove a roof tile to let it dry. Underneath it was a small coin purse full of coins. This is what he had to show me. Now most of the time when people have things like this to show it&#039;s usually junk coins. This time I was pleasantly surprised. There was a lot of IH cents and silver dimes of all kinds. But, there was also a 1908 S IH cent I grade at VF-XF. There were also a few Morgans. No great dates, but one was really nicely rainbow toned on the reverse with lime green, violet and orange, though my pics are horrible. Plus, sticking out like a sore thumb was a 1886 seated dime I&#039;d say is a nice AU. Even a 1920 D walking lib half was present, but in not the greatest of shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>His mother asked if I&#039;d like to buy them, so of course I did. It was a neat find. It makes me want to tear my old house apart looking for old coins now!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=49876&amp;stc=1&amp;d=1245035790" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=49877&amp;stc=1&amp;d=1245035817" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
