    I asked this dealer how much he wanted for this Barber dime collection and he said $60. I figured that was a good price considering there were 35 coins ($3.50 face) in it. I assumed that since he was selling it for silver that the coins would all be AG to VG.

    When I got it home I discovered something different. I got grade! IMG_5735.jpg

    There's at least a dozen solid coins in the book including these. What do you think? IMG_5740.jpg IMG_5736.jpg IMG_5737.jpg IMG_5738.jpg IMG_5739.jpg

    I think you scored big! Did you get it at Bay State? I saw a lady selling a set at Auburn yesterday, don't know if she sold it.

    Fine, $80*. :)

    I think that dealer was asleep at the switch. Nice snag!

    * Not to be construed as an actual offer to buy outside of the B/S/T forum. Besides, with those photos, you'd probably double your money on eBay.
