One of my BFF's called and said, "I know you do silver"....while cleaning out his recently deceased parents closet, hiding under the shoe shelf in the corner was a box...a shoe box, but was heavier than a box with shoes in it. Yep you guessed it...a shoe box full of US coin silver. He is guessing about ten pounds...looks like I am buying the beer
, he is smokin some meat
and we are going to go through it this weekend...Oh the joys of finding treasure

10 pounds should be about $180 face. Very nice!

Oh man geeze, tough spot. I hate when it's a buddy or family member..Kinda hard to stick it to them
. A while back I bought 200 face from my aunt/uncle and went over the exact numbers with him and wasn't asking a penny over what I was going to sell them for... He tried to haggle with me by saying he shouldn't have to pay for shipping since I was picking them up...geeze talk about trying to do someone a favor!! Silver dopped 2.00 the next day
