Awwww man, I wish I could participate! :(
The closest thing to a garage sale is usally more like a garbage sale...or an open air market that is held in a dirt lot on on a street that's been shut down for the day. Finding coins there is like winning the lottery. Not gonna happen.

Sorry to hear that, harrison2. Garage sales are awesome around here....the tricky part is finding the ones that might have some coins. No one advertises that.

@ thestew, try craigslist in your area. Once you choose the area of the country you are in then type in Garage Sale or coins for sale.
Good Luck

John Hutch, I'm constantly browsing Craigslist. The problem is, the only time I see coins listed in garage sales is when someone says 'NO COINS OR SILVER OR GOLD....QUIT ASKING'. At least that narrows my search a little :)

Even here in KY garage and yard sales are scarce in February. I hit them all the time when the weather is better, though.

That is definitely a great idea. I will be up for it in a few months.  |

No garage sale's around here yet.. Do you guys often find decent scores at garage sales? I've been to a few but have never stumbled across coins. Maybe some scrap sterling..

Yeah, definitely has to be spring before garage sales start showing up. I asked about coins at everyone I went to last year and did find one gal that sold me a jar of pennies.

Garage sales don't start up in NJ until the weather warms up and even then you don't find coins.
I did pick up a couple of really cool late 1960's Hot Wheels in near mint condition. I don't collect them but how could I resist. (I asked if they had any Matchboxes and they told me that about 5 minutes before I got there some guy bought all of them. I did even want to know how many he got.)

Sorry guys, guess I'm just spoiled with the weather. I'll be garage saling this weekend in 75 degree weather. Everyone else can join in in a couple months :)
