I was looking online for coins like I always do and came across an estates sale close to where I live. I went there before hand to check out the goods and found an amazing list of great finds to be purchased

I got a total of
13 Silver wartime nickels with a roll of uncirculated 1964 nickels
66 silver Roosevelt dimes
38 silver Washington quarters
16 Benjamin half dollars
55 Walking Liberty half dollars
50 2000P Sacagawea dollar coins including a
MS WOUNDED EAGLE ERROR that I have been looking for
That needs some dancing fruit

all for $1,012
the silver alone is 37.67 oz of silver which at $27 an ounce is $1,017. PROFIT
I am just so happy to be able to start a collection of Benjamin half dollars and Walking Liberty half dollars.
What I thought was great is that I got the Walking Liberty half dollars for only $580.

Here is the Wounded Eagle Error

Very nice score. Always a good day when you can get silver at below melt prices. Dancing fruit it is!

thanks I was really happy to get these.
haha thats true CoinsKelly its only a profit if you sell. But I like to hord and trade with the idea of passing them down.
yeah. well Williamson there 1967 half dollar in that set too with that 1967 penny. This site is usually high with selling but there was an error in the pictures so for the quarter dime and benjamin half dollar set there was only 2 of the 3 sections showing so everyone else bid on the part that they could see but I knew there was more (5 benjamin half dollars, 20 silver dimes and about 10 silver quarters more on the 3rd section of each folder)
so I snagged the folders under spot by about $20-50.

The other auction site I use rarely gets coins but when they do its usually cheap. I got 2X1996 mint set (both with 1996-W dime) for $12 and 2X1987 mint sets for $12.
