Item number 221615936205

 

I have the same attitude, except that I don't buy coins for profit. My collection has everything from PF 70 coins to well circulated coins that would grade at a 1. I have cleaned coins, dirty coins, coins with patina and BU coins. I might have one or two that would grade at MS 66 or better. They're all a part of my collection and they all mean something to me.

 

Here's some shiny silver:

great year...my birth year. lol

 

What I meant by "for profit" was this, sometimes I will be at a coin show and a dealer will approach me and say "hey, I have a (just an example) 3legged in a PCGS MS63, I'll let it go right now for $250 below bid ("bid" being the lower of the 2 numbers on the grey sheets) if you have the cash handy"....and I will usually buy it, with no intent of keeping it ever, and immediately flip it at that show, or toss it up on ebay as long as the BIN minus fees will net a profit.

 

Today I bought for face value ALL bicentennial coin are they worth more than face value ???

 

anything silver

 

I will have to go through it but I don't think so I did take a look at the edges of the coin & it did not look promising !

 

But I did buy the 2013 (W) & 2012 (S) silver eagle sets for $230 for both sets .

 

still at face value you can lose

 

That's what I was thinking !

 

Only if there shipping charges

 

I found them on Craigs list & met him close to my home .

 

I bought this from the mint at the FUN show and had NGC grade it and ship to my house. I was happy to get the 70. I had it graded as a souvenir from the show.

 

Cool !!!!
I just hope you weren't followed home. Craigslist can be trouble at times.

 

That is just a cool & fun label & what a score with it being a 70.

I am just getting started on my PROOF & REVERSE PROOF silver eagle's & I want them all .

 

Very true Craigslist is like fishing for trouble !
