    Hello everyone, began my day at garage sales, yard sales, then thrift shops then last stop was a pawn shop. I love looking for junk, never had in mind to look for coins but...in the pawn shop I spotted some coins went to take a look and found a coin book said Liberty Head dimes 1892-1916. There were 40 coins in this book, and just wanted to share a couple of the coins, of course their not in good condition but fun to look at.

    Have a great weekend!!

    Maybe around $20-25 for those three. Did you pay over melt for the lot?

    The 02-S has value. Semi key.
    I think $60 would be a good price for all 40.

    Thanks everyone, this may sound silly but not sure Davidh what this means...pay over melt for the lot? I just like looking at coins I have no idea the value of coins, I paid $35.00 for this book. If only coins could talk would love to know where these old coins have been.

    Well 90 cents apiece is a steal, since that is below melt.
    Melt value for 40 silver dimes is just under $49.
    That 20-S is worth $20 in a little better condition.
    Prob a couple other gems in there.
