'It's worth A LOT more than $10': Spring cleaning turns profitable when a guy discovers a rare treasure in his childhood bedroom

It's spring cleaning season so you know what that means–it's time to dig through the treasures deep in your bedroom that haven't seen the light of day since your high school years. With the New Year's Eve glasses from the turn of the millennium on your face, you peep through the center 0's of '2000' and shuffle through yearbooks, old costumes, and miscellaneous junk that you once thought held value. While most of it is probably overdue to be tossed in the trash, sometimes you can find some hidden treasures that hold more than just sentimental value. 

The guy in our next story was knee-deep in his mother's spring cleaning at his childhood home when he discovered a janky old coin in the depths of his drawers. At face value, the gold coin was printed to be worth $10, but as he would discover–at the mercy of the knowledge of a kind stranger–the coin was worth far more than that! 

Scroll for the entire story of a man who scored the spring cleaning jackpot when he discovered a rare coin worth hundreds of dollars.
