Community Tag Sale Find

[NatorMVP]

So I was out at a large indoor community tag sale where I live and after about 15 minutes of sifting through stuff I found a locked cash box with a $5 price tag on it. It definitely sounded like coins and was pretty heavy so I decided what the hey and bought it. It took a little bit of work with a hacksaw to get it open but I was very surprised when I got it. Items included:

1995 American Eagle Silver Dollar
25 Gram Eisenhower Silver Bar
46 Wheat Pennies (Oldest 1928)
1 Indian Head Penny (1902)
1 Barber Dime (1909)
3 Mercury Dimes (1923, 1935 & 1943)
2 Silver Rosies (both 1946)
3 Jefferson Nickels (1946, 1949, & 1953)
3 Silver Quarters (1953, 1954, 1963(the '63 is a beautiful coin))
1 Ben Franklin Half (1962)
4 Silver Kennedy Halves (2x1964, 1967, 1969D)
50 Clad Kennedy Halves
17 Eisenhower Dollars (4 Bicentennial)
7 $1 Silver Certificates (1935D, 1957, 4x1957A, 1957B)
6 $2 Bills (1963, 1963A, 4x1976)
Misc Foreign Coins (Germany, Bermuda, Canada, etc...)

Overall face value of $66.47 just alone not a bad $5 investment. This is my first real "find" for coins when I wasn't out specifically looking for coins. Good way to find some stuff when it's 10 degrees and snow-covered out.

HH everyone and thanks for looking.

No mint mark on the back side, but still looking at price guides is about $30 so not a bad fine.

The cheapest price for the 1995-W is $2350. That was on http://www.bestcoin.com/us-silver-eagles.htm since I don't have a PCGS account right now, that would be a huge stroke of luck though to find that one.

I voted banner!

This is why I like to hit the auctions of storage units once in a while. I made nearly a grand once off of a garbage bag of Beanie Babies I got from one unit....Coin finds are not uncommon either.

Libra thanks for the vote

I went to a couple of storage auctions down in TX, didn't get too much though. My first xbox 360 and some computer stuff was about it.

Treasure is where you find it. When I was still in high school I took a summer job demolishing houses, and busted into one wall and ones and fives started falling out. My foreman let me and the other guy busting walls split it.

Now that I think about it, I would love to detect that yard!

I hear you, one day walking to high school there were 2 almost brand new crisp $100 bills laying in the gutter. Imagine finding that at 16 years old, it was more than I made in a week at the grocery store.
