First Deal I've ever gotten from a pawn shop.

Find the right tarnish fetishist and I'll bet $100 is a good starting bid. And that's without even looking for VAMs.

He shoots, He scoreeeeessss!

Um yes, I would have been nervous as you know what trying to get the cash out of my wallet fast enough...

 

Wish I had said that.

 

What a find! The pawn shops around me just have stuff that Goodwill wouldn't even sell.

 

You done oh so good. Don't forget to go back again

 

You won the contest giveaway! See you in that thread @Cheech9712

 

Think about it for a little longer. The holder was in the plastic bag.

 

Don't know what thread. But I'll find it. Was it your giveaway

 

Not mine, but @lordmarcovan . The one with the fossils where you guessed 19.

 

Thanks for the heads up. @wcoins

don't like toned coins in this manner wont buy them at all

 

Don't let me stop you!

 

Even if I didnt like toned coins it was at a good price to flip. But I do like toned coins. Lol

 

our pawn shop wants $50 for a common date VG/F Morgan....

guess he hasn't checked spot prices since 2011....

 

Yes. In a heartbeat. I would have bought it and then looked over my shoulders thinking I was being watched as the whole thing was some sort of gag. You know, "Smile! You're on Candid Camera!" Great find.

 

You should take in some problem examples and see what their buy price is.

I expect pawn shops to do a 100% markup on silver coins (i.e. buy at 60% of spot, sell at 120%). If I found a shop that was buying at 200% (or even 150%) and selling at 400%, well, let's just say I have a good bit of stuff I'd be willing to part with...

 

Nice coin and toning

 

That's a fantastic buy! It could cost you that much just to get it graded and slabbed. Grey sheet shows it at $115.
