    - Bicentenial Ike AU
    - 1959 Rosevelt
    -1910 Barber Dime
    - State Quarter Dansco
    - 16 1939 nickles
    - 5 1938 nickels
    - 2 destroyed V nickels with readable dates
    - 41Buffalo nickels, worn but some dates readable

    All for 18 dollars.

    I think he got a good deal if that is a Dansco album. That Dansco album (used, I assume) is $10 or more. That leaves $8 for $5 worth of coins including 2 silver dimes. What is wrong with that?

    The dansco album cost $1. Regular price is $25. Everything was included too.

    Sounds like a good deal to me. I really love those Danscos.

    You did good for just $18.00 Things are not cheap anymore at flea markets. At least the ones I have been to seem to lack low pricing. You got to pay pretty good money these days.

    Works for me. If you have any buffalo nickels with no dates, I suggest Nic-a-date. I got a bottle and it brings the date out nicely. In fact when I hit the coin show on 7/16, I'm going to hit the bargain bins and see if I can pick up a bunch for the fun of it.

    If you want to save paying postage, use your coin store. I paid $4.00 for a bottle.
    Ebay has it too but you pay shipping. Go to Vernon Coins on eBay, they have it.

    Here's a couple of examples of what Nic-a-date can do...
