I need to buy stock in Craigslist...another AMAZING Craigslist "Find"
A guy posted a coin collection, didn't list how many coins or what type. I gave him a call just to see what he had.
He told me the coins belonged to his grandfather, and he started to describe them. He said there were a few big pennies, a commerative silver collection, a few indian head and odds and ends in a zip lock bag. I offered him $75, thinking I would at least break even on the value of the silver and a few bucks each for the larges, expecting to be in poor condition...he gladly accepted.
I was anxious to see what I had bought and to see if I had made a wise investment on a whim. The pictures speak for themselves....
