    Definitely not crazy... if you put any up on eBay make sure you tell people they came from an estate sale!!
    First get the knowledge, then the coins.

    Wow, even a noncollector should see a score in that one. Maybe even a "you suck".

    After all, noncollectors DO know what silver is, right? And that it is a "precious metal"?

    One would hope so.

    You did great! Just show her Coinflation.com

    Well, the "you suck" is conditional on what the better coins are. At melt for the quarters and dimes, he did well but only about as well as buying a single 20th Anniversary ASE set from the Mint image

    You should be able to flip to any local dealer who buys and sells "junk silver" for a profit, since you paid less than half of melt for it...

    Ditto, they get all excited, but never listen to me, either! (Why is that?)

    Nice bidding, Reaper. Your actually wife sounds recruitable, once she finds out that those quarters are worth $240.00, not counting your "finds". Just get busy educating her - she will probably become a bigger enthusiast than you are. Then we will see who's "crazy."

    To the wife, he made a good deal.image My wife looks funny at me about coins until I tell her how much I can possibly get for each coin verses what I paid for them. Than her eyes light up and she says sell them and buy me some jewelry.image

    What is a good way to locate local estate auctions? I've never been able to find any here north of Dallas...

    Check local newspaper & internet for local auction people or houses in your area . Most auctioneers have websites with up coming auctions , at least around here they do .

    Tell her to take a good look at the resale value of diamonds. That should be the last of any problems.
