This was probably my best day at estate sales ever. First sale had tons of coins, ended up being 3rd in line. I missed a complete BU Franklin half dollar set for only $275 because I wasn't first in line. What I did get was better in my opinion. Basically all the coins were priced at silver content +-10%. All the Washington quarters, probably half of them were BU so I carded them. They were $3-3.25 each. The Morgan dollars, terrible condition (acetone should help), $15 each. The best coin was the 1912 Mexican Peso, its just beautiful in person, only $13. I hope it grades MS-64 or higher. I already dropped it and a couple other coins off to get graded. Not pictured is a 1909-P VDB full red probably MS-64 and a 1938-S red, has to be one of the highest grade wheat cent I've seen in person (should grade at least MS-66). 4 key date Mexico 20 Centavos from 1959 should sell $20-$40 each, paid $3 for all of them. Also found 3 bags of souvenir spoons for $36. All the souvenir spoons laid out are sterling (88 total), most being from those 3 bags, the rest with tags are from other sales today. Total weight on the sterling is 1300+ grams. The other spoons in the bag are just plate, but looks like some good ones. I haven't had a chance to go through the spoons and check values, but they look to be in the $15 - $40 each range at least. There's a few coin silver spoons from the 1790's to mid 1800's. Also got a Hawkes cut glass vase, Glass Eye Studio paperweight, Lladro figurine, and 2 10K gold class rings that I scrapped on the way home for almost half of what I spent total today. Here's a few pictures of the loot.
Edit: The coins today probably hadn't seen the light of day in 50 years. Most of the cards they came in were dated from the 50's to 60's.
