Nothing wrong with that. Sweet score on your part.
 

I would have gladly paid that, thats a whole lot of searching time saved. HH, Maverick.
 

I ran in to a lady at the bank today while waiting in line she commented on how she has all these old coins. I gave her my number but she said she doubts she will sell them because she just doesn't need the money......ugh

But she probably wouldn't mind someone weeding her flower beds or perhaps getting some of the odd jobs done. You make the deal. You'll do the work, and she pays you with the coin. You let the opportunity slip. You want the goods - you just failed to find out what she wants. She didn't want money, but I don't know of anyone that likes to clean gutters and weed flower beds.
