My. Best.find. Ever!!

[Hunter612]

Feel free to show more. I enjoy looking at nice coins. I can't believe you bought gold coins. I can't even find them at coin shops in my area much less at a yard sale. I hope your foot injury isn't serious. If you are eating Ramon noodles next week the oriental noodles are pretty good . When my parents kick me out of the house in a few years I will probably live off of Ramon Noodles.

His wife said she is keeping the gold and diamonds. Who knows what else they have. Alot probably. But she will call when she's ready to sell. Also they have a camper the size of a bus they want me to list on eBay for them.

A friend of mine down the road bought a box of pennies from him also. There was 12 flying eagles. A 1909 S Indian head. A super nice 1873 Indian. All but 5 of the whole set of Indians. 2 full rolls of Indians, and 200-250 Miscellaneous Indian heads. Also about 300 wheat pennies. I have to go to his house later today and look to the wheat pennies he has no idea what any of them are. But he said nothing is after 1930! So if there's a 22 or SDB I will take some pictures for you all. After what I've seen from this collection I would not be surprised. He paid $50 for them all!

Great connection. Icing on the cake is that none of it appears to be scrap. You've made out quite well I'd say - be sure to update us on this lot and any other ones they offer up!

Man, if I had that opportunity I'd have to make back and forth trips to quick-flip some of the gold just so I could afford to buy it all, ha

This is the 5th time this has happened. The largest with gold but 2nd in size. The last one had 100 Morgan's and 10 rolls of halfs, 10 quarters and dimes. Silver was $19/0z. I think I forked out $4500.

This works every time. I bought a small set a year ago for $1800. Silver was $26ish. Had two Small gold coins in it. Like 1/20 oz.

Every time if they have coins, ill ask what they are going to do with them. Most say nothing, I don't know what they are worth or going to a coin shop. OK. Good start. Next I'm honest. I'll say if your interested, I can tell you what they are worth so you know ahead of time before you go in there blind. That opens the door right there. So now, you have to know what your looking at and be honest. I asked him what he thought the gold coins were worth and he said $175 total! And I told him no they're worth more like$ 2000 but he had another five dollar gold coin too. I went through the sets and I told him what he would expect a coin store to get for them and what most people pay for them which is melt or sometimes a tiny more. So after he showed me everything which I just kind of looked at the tubes that are clear so I could see quarters and had sorted out what was just regular coin, I estimated his set to be around $4000.- $4500. So I left at that. And came home. I called him an hour later and asked if he would take $3000 cash.

I get to his house and he wants to keep the gold. But after 10 min of trying to figure out a price for all the silver I set the money on the table. He looked at it and said I'll sell the gold with it as long as I can keep one of the $5 gold coins. (There were 3) I said I think he should, I have one from my dad I would never sell either. And he said OK! Sounds good. Deal done.

He has a business and knows I have to make some profit. I didn't expect so many key dates, but then I have all the work of selling it too. So I will keep the gold unless I get it graded. And the 1914s quarter. All the rest will find new homes. There is a sweet 1904 o Morgan in there along with an awesome 1921 peace dollar. Basically there is 2 of every coin. One ugly one really nice. I enjoy it and I also have a business where I sell for people on eBay. So I'll get to see his whole estate as he said his kids only want the cash. After he sees what his fist stuff sells for over a yard sale.... Well~ I'm sure ill be busy!

Next I'm honest.

Excellent point.

In all of the years that I've been buying and selling, I have found that the best buys and deals grow out of being 100% honest with people.

When I buy from someone in a face-to-face deal, I routinely say "It is worth more than I am offering. You can get more for it on ebay. I plan on reselling this and making a profit."

Keep up the good work.

I just sold off 15 of the semi key date coins for $715 cash. All the key dates and gold coins are left. Easily another $4000. Plus 10 more Morgan's. will sell the rest as needed, although, we want to buy the house we rent so it may be sooner then later.
