This story really has nothing to do with the OP, but a few years back my MIL was going through her mother's coins that she had amassed while taking yearly trips to Canada. In face value, it came to $67.00 for the quarters, dimes, nickles, and pennies.
She asked me if I wanted to buy them (I would have given them to me, but that wasn't her speed). I bought them, and took them home, and on a snowy Winter day, I spread them all out on the kitchen table to see what I had. Most of the quarters, and dimes were the ones with high silver content before 1965, and the rest of the nickles, and pennies, I was able to make sequential year sets to sell on Ebay. The high silver content coins I was able to get a couple bucks for each coin.
I think all told, I made 1000% on these coins.
