[QUOTE="Victor, post: 159587, member: 5454"]Stopped at a yard sale yesterday. Got any old coins? Lady says no, man says he has 3 silver dollars. I say they will do. Lady goes to find them. Comes out with a box of wheat cents. The box had 61 wheat cents, two 90% silver Roosevelt dimes and a 1941S nickle. I offered $4.00 which they accepted. The oldest cent is a 1910. Then a 1919s, 1931, 1936. And loads of nineteen fourties. They can't find the silver dollars. I poke around looking at the lamps and ask them to try to find the silver dollars. The guy says, I'll tell you what they are: 1883, 1902 and 1922, but they are not Morgans. I again ask them to try finding them. Finally he comes out with a box. Sure enough. 1883, 1902, 1922. Also 3 1964 and 2 1965 Kennedys, and two Eisenhowers; 1972 and 1976 Ikes, and a 1992 one peso brass coin from Dominican Republic. I offer $25. Excitedly accepted. The 2 morgans are very dark with blackish tone. The 1922 Peace is nicked and banged. Two of the Kennedys went immediately into my Whitman album. I used to think there are no coins at yard sales. But I always ask. People usually don't put them out for sale.[/QUOTE]
