    Estate Sale Gamble Today!!!

    I went to an estate sale today and didn't really find anything but this gorilla piggy bank. It is about 2 feet tall, and weighs about 10 lbs or so because it was 1/2 full of money, plus has no plug to remove the money. It was not priced, so I asked. She didn't know what to ask, so I offered $30 and she took it.

    Got home and whacked it (no dirty thoughts).

    $90.77 inside (no coin newer than 1978 that I saw)

    $7 in Silver Dollars (not real silver)

    $1.50 in Half Dollars (one is silver)

    $50+ in quarters (a few semi silver 1965's)

    $10+ in dimes (one silver)

    $12+ in nickles

    $5+ in pennies (a few wheat, didn't see a copper 1943, but didn't look too hard)

            Wow, that's a drag

            It sure looked cool to break it, though!

                        I remember seeing one in a Hakes catalog for like $500.00 starting bid and that was well over 10 years ago.

                        Man, I don't know what to say

                              What I don't understand is why would you just bust this thing blindly without doing some research on it first ?
