<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hartnessjr, post: 1658065, member: 33395&quot;]I saw a &quot;coin collection for sale&quot; ad on craigslist and it had a 200 price tag.&nbsp; I thought to myself that it probably isnt what i would call a &quot;collection&quot; but i gave them a call.&nbsp; They told me that it had been their fathers and it was in an old bank safe deposit box.&nbsp; This interested me and i told them i would meet with them.&nbsp; I got there and opened it and i started to get a cold chill and shake.&nbsp; I tried to remain calm but i asked, &quot;you said 200 right?&quot; and they said yes is that too much.&nbsp; There before me were thousands of coins, rolls of mercury dimes, i saw ASE, Morgans and more, probably 200 or more individual coins in those brown small envelopes they used to use.&nbsp; I felt so guilty and picked up a roll of the dimes and turned to the guy and said &quot;sir this in my hand is worth more than you are asking&quot; you might want to rethink this.&nbsp; He says to me you collect these right?&nbsp; I said yes sir and he said i would rather this go to someone that collects than to a dealer or someone who is going to resell it.&nbsp; He said ill take 200 if you want it.&nbsp; I handed the guy 200 and then he says hold on you said your daughter collects with you right?&nbsp; I told him yes and he goes to another room and comes back with a stack an inch thick of silver certificates and says here take these too.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a once in a lifetime find i realize but once i got everything home i looked through every single coin and my 200 turned into close to 10k pretty quickly.&nbsp; Granted its worthless as my wife says because i have never traded or sold a coin in my life but at least i know what its worth <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />, add to my horde as she says.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
