Might be just old pocket change to him. Wouldn't hurt to ask.

You could offer to buy their stuff at over face value. You know pay about what a dealer would. They may not know there is value there, and you could actually be helping this old person out! They could be spending stuff they don't really want to spend.

In this way you would both be ahead.

Isn't it nice when something like that happens!

Be honest with the old gent when he comes back in, tell him that you'll be able to offer him more than face value for his old coins, and use your store's lunch room as a meeting place, so he'll feel comfortable bringing in his older material. Have the Grey , Blue & Green sheets with you, so he'll know he'll be getting a fair and honest transaction.

Alot of senior citizens don't want other people to know where they live for fear of future break-ins. Especially if they have old coins and bills in the house. So using your lunch room would make you both comfortable.

I too believe you should offer him better than face for the silver.Most are probably junk silver,but it is still getting better than 4x's face from melters.You should offer at least half that.IMHO
