Had one of my best silver days this weekend at a flea market. Picked up the following for $16 a piece: 1994 Silver Eagle 1996 Silver Eagle 1997 Silver Eagle 2002 Silver Eagle 1882 O Morgan Dollar (AU) 1889 Morgan Dollar (AU) 1896 Morgan Dollar (AU) 1922 Peace Dollar x 2 (AU) 1923 Peace Dollar 1 gem BU roll of 1961 Roosevelt Dimes for $75 1 gem BU roll of 1959 Washington Quarters $185 1 gem BU toned Washington Carver Commemorative half for $17. This was probably the best Ive ever done for the quantity and quality of what I got. I was pretty shocked to see the ASE's for sale that cheap. Needless to say, I had a big smile on my face yesterday.
He was charging 16x face on all dollars. Since ASE's say 1 dollar on them, thats what he was charging. I was shocked. Then to find the "key date" ASE in the pile was icing on the cake. I went back to his booth today with about $500 to see what else he had....he sold out yesterday. Imagine that!
The ASE's are BU. My buddy picked up 6 ASEs from him at the same time yesterday and he had all different dates. They were not in plastic sleeves or anything, just sitting in a big pile of other dollars (lots of Ikes) He was trying to sell those at $4 a piece, not a good deal as they were clad.
I've gotten some false hopes recently. I found an estate sale recently where the guy has a pile of Pre 64 quarters and dimes in zip loc bags. He wanted $8 for a quarter! I showed him what they were going for on eBay and on local coin shops but he wouldn't have it. I had to tell him to go pound sand.
That's crazy... I bought some war nickles for $.83 a piece on Wednesday from a local dealer. I think he was just feeling generous that day cause I've bought a lot from him in the past. I can't believe your estate sale guy wouldn't come down.
A Steal! I would have been suspicious. I would have still prolly hit the ATM and pulled the trigger though.
Best deal I have ever had on silver. My friend and I were in the right place at the right time. I was able to buy 3 sets of war nickels a few weeks ago for less than 20 dollars (33 coins) and I thought that was as good as I would get. He had a bunch of roosevelts and mercury dimes too. I went back for those this morning, but they were gone.
went back this morning and bought everything he had. -Bought $100 face in US notes (blue seal, red seal) $1, $2 $5 for face value. There were 3 star notes (a red seal $5, a blue seal $1 and a $2) Paid 100 total for the following: -1 ASE (1987) BU -1884-o Morgan (Unc) -$5 face in standing liberty quarters (all very worn, only 1 visible date) -$2 face in walking liberty (1941,1942,1943) -Bolivian 8S Early 1800s -$2.75 canada fave silver (all pre 1964) -and a big bag of foreign coins (there is some silver in it, will go through it later today)
