Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 266713, member: 4552"]Think I've said this many times before. If you go to a garage/yard/estate sale, you have to ask for coins or old currency. Even foreign coins. If you do not ask, they will just sit in the house somewhere. Most people will not put anything that is monitary out on a table at such sales due to how they could vanish. Not real often have I found any coins but several times this worked. Once a lady went into the house and came out with a small pile of Whitman folders, not albums, but the old folders. Paid face value for coins worth about 10 times that. My biggest success  was at a garage/yard sale when I asked if any old jars,  cans, boxes of coins, a lady went into the house and broght out a jar she could hardly carry. Said it was distined to go to a bank soon. The bottom was loaded with Indian Head Cents. She said I could have it for face value but would have to sit there and count them. Instead I offered $50 and she took it. There was about $30 in face value but the newest cent was in the 50's. About 1/4 of them were Indian Cents. Lots of 20's and 30's and most in fantastic conditions. Total value? Fantastic. If you go to garage/yard/estate sales you have to ASK.[/QUOTE]
