    So I get off work and decide to go check out a pawn shop because I heard they had decent collection of silver. I walk in and the have in the case every single 40 percent silver half dollar in its own little holder. So for giggles I asked how much they were asking for the 40's. He told me 5 each...:eek: only worth 4.29. So I poked around a little bit more and stumbled across this...

    So again I asked just out of curiosity..."How much for the coin set"(keep in mind theres nothing amazing about this...all the coins are from different years but the half/quarter/dime are of course silver)....He replies...15 bucks....wait a minute...10.50 for the half....5 dollars for the quarter...and 2 for the dime...over 17 bucks worth of silver for 15 bucks....SOLD!!!!

    there is no mint mark in the Standing lib...would have been pretty cool to be an S

    Its funny you mention that....they have quite a few peace and morgan dollars...I didnt bother asking for price. I figured it would be something outragous...but I think I'm gonna check back...

    The local pawn shop around here will not budge on prices and ask for $20 for garbage dates. You got a really good deal
