I am thinking that by selling coins that I have had forever, I might be able to make enough money to pay the rent this month. I lost my job over six months ago and the unemployment checks are just not enough to keep up with the day to day expenses and all those little things that pop up. I have slowly been getting behind and now I only have half the money for the rent that is due next week.

My father and I collected coins when I was little, but since I moved out, they have been just sitting in a box. I know that he would understand me selling old silver coins to pay the rent, so I am going to first try and take them to the local pawn shop and see what they would be willing to give me for them.

I am hoping that by selling old silver coins, I can actually pay the rent and maybe even have a little extra. I remember my father once having the coins appraised, and they were worth over two thousand dollars and that was about ten years ago. If I am correct, then the value should have gone up. Selling coins is not something that I have ever done, so I need to be careful not to get taken and wind up giving them away.
