I know this isn't CRH per se, but I hit some garage sales for the first time this weekend and found some cool stuff.
First place I hit some woman tried to sell me some nickel set she bought off the TV with a common date V, dateless buff, a war nick and a regular jefferson for $150. I laughed and walked away.
Finally found a sale that had coins. It was a moving sale and the coins weren't even out. It was in an upper class neighborhood and the guy was selling some real nice stuff, so I figured what the hell and asked if he had any coins. He wasn't a collector, but said he had some that a client had bartered him for legal work many years ago.
He brought out a small suitcase filled with pennies, literally THOUSANDS of them (2135 wheats in all) I also saw some foreign, some pennies in coin flips and roosies and mercs mixed in so I was definitely going to buy. He asked what I thought was a fair price, I said without looking at all the coins anything was a shot in the dark, he asked for $100 but I said I was comfortable with $50. We agreed on $60.
After literally DAYS of sorting through EVERY coin and checking for errors etc. Here are the finds (warning the list is long):
