Splurged Today - Some Great Buys - DD, Commemoratives,Buffalo

Bought a lot today. The most I've spent since I started collecting.
Spent almost $300 Cash and $200 In Trade Value
I REALLY wanted to buy a 1931-s Cent ($150) but saw it too late. Very nice rainbow toning too.
However I do have $300 coming in from paypal.. once it clears.. so I'll be back.
I do good business with Louie, run a website and advertise for him so I get amazing deals.

only $300 for all that?

 

$300 cash + $200 trade

Nice coins!

 

Great coins, Wrath! I like all of it, especially the commems

 

Excellent splurging

 

$200 trade and it was actually only $280 cash for the rest of the collection because I left with $40 still in hand.
I probably could have done without the cent/quarter/columbian but I really want to have 1 of every type of coin in my collection.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it. I got into his stash. He knows I like Morgans and always brings those out for me but this time I asked him for smaller denominations and picked out the penny. Glad I asked, still tons of boxes I haven't gone though.

 

That's incredible, seeing as how the MS65 Oregon will comprise most of that $500 budget. Outstanding negotiating!

 

I ought to try negotiating lol.
I just ask him how much for this and he gives me his bottom. Sometimes half of what he has it priced for.
Then when I traded/sell I give him my bottom.
I brought him some gold recently, he offered $440 and I took $400 and said return the favor next time.
So we work around each other like that. Or if I send him a great deal ($11000 pawn a few weeks back) he pays me in coins which he obviously bought for much less, rather then cash.
He makes a lot of money just off of my advertising and he's mentioned he's doing much more business now then before I started.

 

Yea i like the oregon as well

 

What would you guys put on it?
Book shows $360
Probably around $300?

 

It appears that there is some PVC residue on the lincoln cent, I would sure remove that and see if there is aany underlying damage.

Jim

 

Yeah there is a black residue of some sort on it.
Remove with needle?

 

No, don't use a needle. I am talking about the tiny deep green "drop" appearing dots on the coat and under the date. Appear green and shiney in the magnified photo. If it is a color aborration than I withdraw the comment, but it appeared to be PVC. Use acetone to remove it, not a physical object.

Would you suggest that cleaning method?
They actually have mass, not just color aberration.
Would it devalue the coin at all?

 

I think that would have been an excellent deal just for the commemoratives. Score!

 

I think so too! I was very happy with what I paid for the lot.
I guess it helps to befriend the dealer.
