Fun estate sale score.

[Marino13]

Went to old money neighborhood estate sale today and saw this old singer coin bank for 16 bucks. Almost set it back down and heard coins in it.

Hmmmm. I just had to get this. While walking around A coin dropped out. It was an 1883 Indian head! Ok, now I'm excited. Got home and this was inside. 1935 hawaii silver cert, 1934 buff, 2 reached shield nickels, 2 46 Rosie's, 9 Indian heads, a trade token and a fire damaged something. Fun day!

Well played on the bank.
$16 was a quickly returned investment.
Congrats

Oh,forgot the 1943 d three pence Australian silver.

I'd say the bank alone was worth the $16.00 The rest was just a bonus ! Great score.

That is cool, I especially like the old Hawaii note.

Makes you wonder why the previous owner wouldn’t check inside first.
Some people are weird.
Great deal for you! Congrats 👍🏼

Cool item and great to find it wasn't empty. I would think the bank alone to be worth at least double what you paid. They fetch even more with the original box. Singer gave these away during the 1920s and 1930s as promotional items to encourage people to save up for the deposit on a new machine. They came in various colours.

This was a very swanky estate sale. I'm more surprised another sale patron didn't pick up on it.
