[QUOTE="Mikecouil, post: 1513974, member: 31420"]My humble two cents: Last month my wife helped my mother in law go through the garage and have a garage sale to try and thin out 50 years of tools, collectibles, knives, and everything else you can think of after my father in law passed away 2 years ago. As the day went on the deals for buyers got better. My wife knows full well what she can get online for a full snapon socket set or a Ryobi 18v power tool set.

It's people attempting to get rid of their stuff for SOMETHING ( and sometimes nothing) rather than go through the hassle of getting top dollar. More than likely those coins were pulled from circulation over the years and the seller got far more than what was invested.
