Many times, when I go to garage sales, I find garage sale type junk. Most people put out kids clothes and toys, big items like furniture, and other nic-nacks. The only times I've found coins and records is by asking the seller if they have any. Most people don't think of putting coins out. With that being said, I've had a few garage sales and put out large cents, and other pre-1950 coins and they sell very quickly. The large cents can be picked up for under $1 at most coin shops but sell easily for $5 each at garage sales, even to people that don't collect coins.

Wow!

What a great deal!!

The only times I have seen coins at garage sales, they were asking at least double book value - kinda like seeing coins at most "antique" shops - they seem to prey upon ingnorant people with low resistance to impulse buying.
