Went to a dealer today...

and I think I made some nice buys. I got:

8 rolls of wheats (will let everyone know what I find from them, got these for $14)
My first Franklin half, a 57 D, in BU condition for $13.50
A nice looking 1956 PR Gem Full steps for $4
and a BU 1968 S full steps for $2

So I think I got some okay deals. All of them I got because I liked them, and wanted some. So wasn't a half bad day. Thanks for reading!

Also, I got a set of lincoln cents, 59-82, without proofs, for a dollar. All of them I think would go red. So not bad. Wanted to add this.

Where in the world, or in your case PA, is there a dealer open on Sunday's?

Nice pickups BTW

 

Thanks. Actually, he is located in a flea market, a place called the Antique Depot. They own a shop in Johnstown, and come to the Antique Depot on Sundays. I try to go there in the afternoon. It is convenient atleast for me.

That is the best place I've ever found for purchasing coins and getting to actually knowing a dealer and he would remember you. At coin shows they only remember you if you buy a lot. At a coin store, to expensive. yeah, I like the flea markets myself. Sounds like you found a good one.

 

I also have had great experiences buying coins from flea markets! its so much fun...but i guess thats because I dont have any local dealers around here

 

Have you given him a "want list" yet?

Not yet. I do ask him for wheats, halves, and proof coins though. I don't want to come across presumptuous. BTW, how much would a 1968 S FS nickel go for, does anyone know? I can't find much.
