My son that garage sales (son#3) has also been a coin collector since he was 12. He knows gold and silver at garage sales and has done alright collecting it from them...The son that had the coins fall out of the wall (son#2) is also a coin collector...He figured the face value at ( I am not sure of this number ) around 180 dollars but silver value at almost 2000 dollars...

I always said garage sales are just another treasure hunt for the ordinary person...When I used to sell on ebay I bought a White Castle mug at an estate sale for a buck...It looked different than most of those mugs listed...It was rare and ended up selling for 300 dollars...

I don't do ebay anymore but have 3 kids that still sell on it...

I'll bet it was hoot to find those bills...
