It's been years since I've found anything numismatic at a Thrift Store, but I found something yesterday at a Goodwill Store just south of Pittsburgh. My wife insists she heard me squeal when I saw it on the shelf.
It is a new Lighthouse brand display case for slabs, which I bought for $1.99. The Lighthouse website is currently selling this exact item for $36.95 (plus $8.75 shipping).
Maybe I did squeal after all.

Were the coins shown on the box included?

I told my wife that if I saw slabs inside the case when I opened it, I might've fainted.

That is the absolute last thing I'd expect to find in a thrift shop. Good for you!

Outstanding!

I love Lighthouse (Leuchtturm). I have their 50 slab box to hold my PCGS Ikes.

After trying to figure out which four coins to place in the new display case, I noticed that I had four different autographed American Silver Eagles from the PCGS "American Heroes" series.

Suffice it to say, these four individuals were considered American Heroes in 2003-2004: POW Jessica Lynch, astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan, General Tommy Franks, and cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Woah, excellent choice of signed slabs to display. Not to mention that they are MS69 ASE's!
Oh wait . . . I mentioned it.
