So my dad wakes me up early this morning and says "come take a ride with me" seems he made a deal with A lady to buy and clean out her basement full of ham radio equipment for $500.00. So after a 2 hour ride we arrive at the womans house, she takes us down to a small room in her basement and says " I just want to clean this room out, so anything you find you can have. So after about 10 mins of digging thru boxes my dad hands me a box that says "COINAGE" and says ...heres a box for you!!!, so right away i fold it back up and run it up to the truck. WOW!! was i surprised when i got home and checked them out. Full books of quarters, nickels, dimes, franklins, kennedy halves, buffs, state quarters, quarter proof sets, sags, and silver eagles, and some little safe full of regular clad. My dad didnt mind at all, he picked up about 5 good radios and equipment thats worth about 5 grand. I also managed to get a full box of fishing lures, new fly pole and reel....
hope you all enjoy the pictures,

) -- the insurance policy has paid off -- so she is set up nicely fiscally ---so out goes his "toys" time to get rid of his "man" stuff and hobby gear in the basement -- fishing gear -- ham radios and such ( I'm quite sure she didn't know the total extent of his coin collection (money) down there other wise she would have cut it out of "the junk" as most women think of mens hobby "stuff" ( you said that she said she had already nosed around down there to see if she could find anything of "value" to her--- thus she most likely found his older coins -- the morgans and mercs and such and thought she had em all ) the "newer stuff" in the box ya'll found was most likely "buried" under other stuff and thus I do not think that she ran across that box of silver coins and left them down there on purpose --since it makes no sense at all to sell the silver coins along with the other stuff for $500 --since the "melt" value of the silver coins alone are worth more than $500 and even at the "face value" of $120 is almost 1 /4th the total of $500) -- however since her hubby is gone now ,and she thought she had "cherry picked" thru the stuff down there (or thought she had)--- she now wanted HER basement "cleaned out" of all of HIS "junk" stuff , ok so be it. --- you paid $500.00 for a "pig in a poke" not knowing exactly what all you would find OR get -- you in effect "bought all the contents of the room " which had to be moved out of it --- be it trash or treasure --when you do that once in a while you get some treasure (lots of time you just get to clean out a lot of trash)-- so be it.
