i didn't buy as many coins as usual, but i did get a 1946S walking liberty half, a dansco album for jefferson nickels, a barber dime blue whitman folder, another blue whitman buffalo nickel folder, and a hand ful of world coins. the 1946S half is pretty nice i think. i paid $4.75 for it. the dansco album for jefferson nickels i got for $15. i'm trying to organize my collection before i start anymore series. i got the blue barber dime folder for 75 cents, and the buffalo nickel one for 75 cents also. they are those cheap blue ones, but i will upgrade to the danscos when i get them filled up. my old blue folder for the buffalo nickles did not have the lock in feature, so they fell out. this new one does. i also got some buffalo nickels for my books. they were $1 each, and i got a 1923, 1927D, and a 1920S. i usually don't buy world coins, but i picked out everything in the box that was 50 years and older. they were mostly canadian, but this is what i bought for $9. canadian cents-1932(2), 1930, 1935, 1921, 1946(2), 1943(2), 1956, 1947, 1957, 1941, and 1940. i also got some canadian silver dimes- 1918 and 1941. the silver dimes were not suppose to be in there, but he sold them to me anyway. i also got a worn down v nickel in there. the back is almost blank, and the front is half there. some of the other world coins are-1903 25 centimes, 1942 newfoundland cent, 1945?, 1955 10 cent italy coin, 1949 turkey 25 kurus coin, 1939 mexican 1 cent, 1947? a 1954 italy 5 cent coin(2), a 1943 australia "penny", a 1943 half penny, a 1950 10 cent ?, a 1959 ? penny, a 1951 5 cent itlay coin, a 1950 5 pfennig(2), a 1953 south africa coin, 1 1941 1 cent nederlanden coin, a 1950 1 pennig, a 1949 5 kurus turkey coin, and a 1910 5 CBN with a hole in the middle. i don't collect world coins, but i'll look at them and then sell them. oh, i brought my 1893 barber quarter i bought for $2 and had him put in in a 2X2. then he offered me $25 for it! i didn't take it, i figure i'll watch the value go up over the years. i also got a 1993 $10 in change, so that was pretty neat. :kewl:
I bought a walking liberty half 1943-S in about the same condition you hav ethere for 4 bucks, however, today i went to a coin show and the cheapest were 6-7 bucks!! So you got a good deal on that because the prices are rising like crazy and 4.75 is only 30 cents or so over the silver content's worth in it. Wow that barber quarter is in great condition, especially for its age. And you bought it for $2 a while back?!?! A great deal for you. The grade looks AU to me but i am not a good grader.
i bought it from a guy down at a county fair about a month ago. actually, i got that, a 1915 barber quarter, and a blue whitman folder for $5. i took it in today to my dealer and he said he'd give me $25! i could have made a $23 profit! hya:the guy that sold me this coin gave me his phone number and said call him if i'm interested in buying more coins from him. i'm going to call and ask to meet up with him to see if he has more deals!
Wow, still some neat buys! Awesome about the quarter! Sounds like you had a good day! :thumb: Phoenix
