Roadshow Comes to Braselton Next week!
By Jason Delong
Treasure Hunters Roadshow
STAFF WRITER
Clean out your attics, closets
and lock boxes, because
the Roadshow is coming to
Braselton. Roadshow experts will
be in town examining antiques,
collectibles, gold and silver.
While the Roadshow will accept
anything that’s old, they will be
focusing on gold and silver coins
dated 1964 and before, military
items, toys and trains, musical
instruments, pocket and wrist
watches. Scrap gold is expected
to be a popular category this
week due to soaring gold prices.
"U.S. coins dated 1964
and before are most sought
after by collectors. Coins
made before 1964 are
90% silver and valuable
because of the silver
content or could be worth
even more if one happens
to be a rare date. ”
Expert buyers for the Roadshow
have noticed a tremendous
increase in the amount of gold
coming to the Roadshow and for
good reason. Record gold prices
have Roadshow guests cashing
in on broken jewelry or jewelry
they don’t wear anymore with our
“fair and honest” purchase offers.

filled with old and
forgotten memoriesP
Most pre-1964 bisque, china,
paper mache, wood, and wax
dolls are considered desirable
by collectors. If your doll has
original clothing, wigs, shoes and
undergarments, that increases its
value.
Many toy cars, robots, Tonka
and trains made before 1964 are
wanted by International Collectors
Association members as well.

coins and paper currency. For as
long as I can remember I have been
fascinated with collecting coins. I
would go through the change in
my parents grocery store looking
for rare dates and errors. Once, I
found a silver quarter that I sold
for $300.00. Not bad for an 8 year
old.”
Fuller went on to explain
that any U.S. coins dated 1964
and before are most sought
after by collectors. Coins made
before 1964 are 90% silver and
