[QUOTE="smullen, post: 207019, member: 5165"]A good friend of mine who's mom is getting on in her years has recently retired and is moving into a retirment village thing... She has known me for 15+ years and knows I collect coins... The other night she was talking to her son/my friend and told him to get ahold of me and see if I was interested in it or she was going to take it to a local junk/antique shop.... From what I know, I'm interested.... It seems she has been buying Proof Sets, Mint Sets, and other special edition sets,and prolly a lot of Franklin mint crap too for the last 30 or so years or so.... She does not have every set in order as she is missing one here, three there, one here, etc.. etc... But its a lot... I did see several in each decade 70, 80s, early 90s... More than I have and have seen from someone I know... Its all Moderns, nothing Slabbed, no 2x2s or Albums... The oldest thing would be a jar full of Circulated Pre-64 coins... I'm not sure why she has accumulated this mini-hoard as she knows nothing about coins and doesn't really care about them or their history... :desk: When talking to her about it, the best I could get out of her is that they might be worth something one day... I've seen a bunch of it, but not all of it... I'm supposed to go look at it sometime soon, in the next few weeks... What I'm wondering is how should I go about making her an offer??? I mean what price list should I use to go off of for this??? These are good friends, so I want to be fair and offer her more than a Coin store or someone else would... I don't want to rip her off by any means, but I'd like to get a good deal myself.... If I was going to pay retail, I could just get them from any coin store... Does that make sense???[/QUOTE]
