A bit different for me and my wife, I got a little terror on the way so we are shopping for some good baby stuff the last few weeks!

My fiancee and I hit a towns yard sale yesterday. There were probably about 30-40 yard sales. I had high hopes of finding some coins or firearms...NOPE. People sell trash these days it seems. Lol. They have junk and want to charge you for its weight in gold.

Heck no! I asked him his price. Held the coin up about five feet away from the guy and said "How much for the Ike". He said $2; Mine!

Nice find! I wish more sales had coins, I'd be much more inclined to go to them.

I went to a garage sale a cpl weeks ago and asked the gal if she had any pennies or old coins she wanted to get rid of. She sold me a big jar half filled for 4 bucks. I got home and weighed it. 8 pounds, not bad. I found a 1990 Netherlands 5 ct and 2 wheats so far.
