First Deal I've ever gotten from a pawn shop.

I go to a couple thrift stores and a couple pawn shops in a town I work in. Just looking for something interesting. Today was the first day I seen a coin in this little pawn shop. It was in a little ziplock baggie and laying upside down. I was about to leave and thought I'd ask to see it for the fun of it. Pawn coins are always priced waaaay too high for me. Anyway, the guy pulled the bag out and told me it was $14.99. I said I'll take it. Would you have bought it?

I don't like Morgans but I'd have bought that

 

Nice toning and a good find!

 

Man NGC is fast!

 

Well, done I'd have snagged it up too!

 

pretty toning. what an amazing price too.

 

Yes. You definitely found a nice coin! I don't go in to Pawn shops just for the statement you said. I don't think the prices would be anything good and don't like to haggle a whole lot. What a great price and nice toning!!!

 

Yup.

It's been months and months since my regular pawn shop has had anything worthwhile. But after that one time that I found a batch of G-F raw Morgans for $22 each, and one of them was showing an 1895 date -- yeah, I keep going back. No more deals that good yet, but a few other nice ones, and random intermittent reinforcement is the most effective kind.

 

Most of the ones I frequent, they understand, I buy numismatic items, it has come back to bite me. But, hasn't stopped me from playing the game.

 

Fifteen bucks for a cull Morgan would be a decent deal. Heck yes you did well.

 

Nice coin.

 

I don't get it. You bought it today in a baggie and now it's graded by NGC? How did you get it graded in few hours?!

It's also in a type holder that was last used many years ago?

 

Lol. The slab was in the baggie! Already slabbed!

 

Oh I see thanks for making that clear. Man, what a buy! Very nice.

 

Wow. You need to check that shop more often. Most pawn shops understand what stuff is worth. This makes me wonder what the shop paid for the coin. Great buy Bobby.

 

Reminds me of my $17 We Buy Gold shop find

 

Great pick.

 

Great find. I’ll give you 15 and you can tell everyone you made a profit, ha. Jk

 

I like Morgans at $15, great pickup.

 

First glance from pix...$30 coin for 1/2 price, snag!

Research shows NGC currently base grading it at $85. I do not see any proof-like attributes from pix but nice toning, value at $100 not too far off the mark...Spark
