Coin Hoard in a Sewing Machine!!!

[trdking]

My wife talked me into helping her with a flea market last Sunday. One very long Sunday in the heat. I got to chatting with neighbor seller who told me they were there for one day to move as much stuff as they could and everything else was getting donated to thrift. At the end of the day when he was packing up, he pointed to a pile of stuff Including this sewing machine and asked me if I wanted it. I said yes as I was having a yardsale to move the rest of my stuff so no harm. Flash forward to today Yard Sale day. I set this sewing machine out and walk away, then I thought it would sell better out of the box so I lifted the sewing machine out of its box and my eyes bugged out!

Lining the bottom of the box were 13 Silver dollars 11 silver halves 3 Indian head penny 6 wheaties a columbian expo half 10 pre CW Large cents! and 20 or so tokens What a Haul!!! Had to share
