Today was a crazy day of treasure hunting for me! I started the morning off driving around in my neighborhood since it was garbage day. What I usually do Is scrap the metal people throw away and then buy Silver Rounds with the money I get. This morning yielded $66 dollars in metal in about a half hour and a Cavalier Cedar Chest from the 50's in A+ condition.
I happened to notice a coin store that I've never noticed before on the way to the scrapyard. I stopped in and inquired about silver rounds. They said they only had 13 American Silver Eagles. I asked to see them. They were all random dates and the price was only $25 each (which is a steal considering they have been going for $30-$33 dollars around here lately). I bought 2, a 1998 and a 1994 in perfect sealed condition. I am fairly new to ASE's but the ebay price for both are around $50-$60 each!! I feel I just bought $120 potential dollars in coins for $50!
Also, I called some antique furniture stores around me and I can sell the Cedar Chest for $100-$150 to a few of these stores that are willing to buy it! Score!
Now onto the CRH boxes:
Box 1: Skunk
Box 2: 1 1933 Canadian Dime! 0.80% Silver!
Box 3: Skunk
Box 4: 1 1956 Roosie!!
Box 5: 1 1934 Merc!! My first ever!
So to recap: $66 dollars in scrap metal that helped purchase 2 ASE's for $50, in which they might be worth about $50 each to a collector, 1 old Canadian silver dime, 1 1954 Roosie, and a 1934 (w mint mark??) Merc!!
Great Day for me!!
