Elburn store sees green in old coins, toys

ELBURN – Schaun Blakeslee laid out rolls of quarters and dimes on the counter of Tri County Coins & Collectibles.

“Wow, you are going to have a good payday here,” said Silvia High, who owns the store with her husband, Scott.

Blakeslee had plenty of pre-1964 coins in her collection. Quarters minted before 1964 contain 90 percent silver. Blakeslee smiled as Scott High handed her $1,007 in cash. She was happy to give her coins a new home.
