So you had better search through your attics and garages, go through your lock boxes and jewellery ry, because you may a be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold and silver. r During a show near To T ronto, a woman came in with a jewellery r box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. "I don't wear jewellery ry," explained Barbara Engles, "so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it". She was very r excited when she was able to walk away a with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewellery r she was never going to wear anyway ay. Expert Elijah Gold explains, "We W have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, w which makes sense considering how high it's currently trading at. He added, "The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people's pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, y on the spot!" At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandthe Roadshow and see what he had given her. r She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800's, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Perry r Bruce explains "We W had uncovered an 1871 Queen Vi V ctoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content". She explains, "I never would have thought that my old tin afford to renovate my kitchen". Perry r Bruce continued, "Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, r and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value". Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures.
