I am an unofficial, paid employee of my LCS. The owner has a never ending list of assignments and tasks. I do a few of those tasks a week and I am paid in silver dollars. Today I reorganized the slabbed coins, sorted into different categories Indians Head Cents, 40% Kennedys and V Nickels and I earned an VF 1898 Morgan Dollar. It was a great day.
Nah, It only took me 2.5 hours for all that and the Morgan was priced at 23 so about $9 the hour. More than my legit job pays.
Ok. Remember 23 is retail though. That's what makes you happy so I understand. No doubt it pays more than the real world though. I get it.
That's good news.. Just remember this. Do an honest job.. Always! Get the experience you need and who knows.. One day you might own your own CoinShop!
You might not want to get in the habit of bragging about such things... it’s a good thing for later in life when it’ll really count.
One could argue he only earned a dollar and I doubt the IRS will be banging on his door for a % of that. Awesome deal by the way @CoinBlazer
