Coin Hoard in a Sewing Machine!!!

[trdking]

My wife talked me into helping her with a flea market last Sunday. One very long Sunday in the heat. I got to chatting with neighbor seller who told me they were there for one day to move as much stuff as they could and everything else was getting donated to thrift. At the end of the day when he was packing up, he pointed to a pile of stuff Including this sewing machine and asked me if I wanted it. I said yes as I was having a yardsale to move the rest of my stuff so no harm. Flash forward to today Yard Sale day. I set this sewing machine out and walk away, then I thought it would sell better out of the box so I lifted the sewing machine out of its box and my eyes bugged out!

Lining the bottom of the box were 13 Silver dollars 11 silver halves 3 Indian head penny 6 wheaties a columbian expo half 10 pre CW Large cents! and 20 or so tokens What a Haul!!! Had to share

Can a flea market find go banner? That's an impressive haul

 

[BigWaveDave]

Wow!!! That is an incredible find! Lucky you!!!...not so lucky for them, huh?

Now I have a great place to hide my money, on account that my wife's sewing machine hasn't seen her in years.

[MountainDewed]

As requested here are some more photos. FYI I took the Large Cents to my friends shop except this one because its holed. He says he will slab at least three of them!

Cheers all

Please lay those coins out so we can see them ! That is a massive score - Wow !

(I must have been posting my plea - while you were posting photos - sorry !)

 

[trdking]

I think my eyes are still popped out! Have been buzzing all day

 

[trdking]

Big Wave Dave Really if I had anyway of sharing the wealth back to the guy that gave me the sewing machine I MOST Definitely would. Alas he stated it was his one shot trip to this flea
I did not get a name or even really remember what he looks like. I was the first thing I though of believe me. Karma can deliver fantastik gifts or it can render the wrath

What a great bonus and you still have the machine to sell, I think that's a first for hearing that a sewing machine held something of value. I guess the old saying applies here that most caches are hidden in a spot where the owner can keep an eye on the stash. Congrat's on the find and hide someplace else now that the world knows about the last hiding spot.

 

[whammy]

Wow, what a great find. If you would put all those coins back under the sewing machine, I would buy it at your yard sale.

 

[trdking]

Yeah Sewing machine = Boat anchor Still have it if anyone is interested? Please pretty please take this thing off my hands?

Congratulations on the tremendous silver and copper score!

You must be living right and you've watched "The Secret". Awesome discovery and you can't complain about the price, that's for sure. I dug one of those Canadian tokens in Sept. How long were you passed out after you fainted?

 

[ARC]

Steller... heh.
You might have a couple of really goodens in that.

Life threw you a bone.

 

[trdking]

I just laughed out loud and made a huge WWOOOOOOWWW SOund. The best part were the faces of every guy and gal (about 20 people were there) watching me pull silver dollars out of a sewing machine they all just passed up. It was frickin hilarious!

 

[NEPADIGGER7]

That's amazing! I'm gonna start check them!
