Found a great video that runs down the top ten Garage Sale items that "could" be sterling silver.
I was awakened to the opportunities that I have passed up just passing by a vendor at swap meets, yard sales or at a neighborhood garage sale.

Thanks for the reply....Look for the Sterling label underneath or inside the item. Many times they place use Sterling or .925. Happy hunting

I find it is best just to ask if they have any old coins to sell, most people today are living day to day and have coin collections they may be willing to part with.

Willing to part with and have absolutely no idea what it is even worth. I won't fully rob people blind but lots of people seem to think that if a coin says $5 it's only worth $5...

I have had the most garage sale luck with people having small hoards of junk silver stored in jars. They seem to know there is silver in coins minted prior to 1965, but have no concept about melt value and how many grams per coin relates to an price for an ounce of silver.......Happy hunting
