spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 10/30/2009 3:20 pm Very cool. I have yet to find a good score like that. I have stumbled on some old baseball/football cards (used to collect as a teen) that were in good shape and worth a decent amount but nothing with coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 01/02/2010 01:32 am Congratulations on a great find. You have to love those occasional garage sale surprises. A few years back I found a 1879 Morgan dollar, it only set me back a quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
