EE's looking for a cornicopia of silver in November.
So.. 5 boxes due this week but that is not the big news.
Big news is, I purchased a collection yesterday, I should receive it sometime middle of next week so I didnt add it to Octobers totals.
I have a friend in So Cal who is out of remission with her cancer and she is nearly broke. I told her to take her grandfathers coin collection to some coin shops and see what they offer her. Well, one offered her $210 and another offered her $250. Way, way too low for what she has. I purchased her collection for the maximum I could possibly spend without putting myself in the danger zone ( not going to link to the top gun song, not going to do it ). I offered her $675 shipped for it and if she has anything that is worth more than melt, I will get her top dollar for it and send her the cash that I get. I am not sure if she has anything of value, she has too much to sort while being sick with cancer and fibromyalgia.
I am not sure exactly everything I will be getting as she might find more she said but this is an approx
175 dimes, merc and rosies
1 quarter ( likely Washington )
20 - 1964 halves
2 - 40% Halves
10 - Peace and Morgan dollars combined, one being a 1879 ( just received Email from her ).
3 - Indian head pennies
I know my offer is still low, its about 76% of melt but its the best I could do and it gets her money tomorrow as she was down to her last $25 combined between purse and checking account. I do hope some of the coins demand a premium so I can get her some more money.
On a side note, on my pick up today, I managed to make another contact with a teller whos husband is dying of cancer. They found his childhood coin collection so I am to take a look at that sometime soon to make an offer on that as well, sadly I am tapped out of cash so either I might have to borrow from one of the parents to take out a personal loan at the bank to purchase the collection which I can pay off come tax time. I always do my taxes ASAP, no reason to wait so interest on the loan will be minimal if I need one.
