Lucky Day with PICS! Well guys today was my lucky day!! I bought a bag of token/world coins from my local pawn broker/friend today. He said to me, I thought you might be interested in these. I said sure and didn't even look at them until I got home. yes I used the two words together pawn and friend. He is always giving me great deals because he hates dealing with foriegn coins and tokens. Well first off this was a quart sized bag full of old foreign silver and odd tokens/ tax tokens from just about every state, 2 mexican gold pieces ( 2 Pesos and 2 1/2 Pesos) and the best was on top of the pile a 1798 Spanish 8 Reale and a 1892 8 Reale Mexico but even better than that was a 1899 Canadian Half Dollar in original condition XF 40. I will post photos later. I looked up the rough est of the half and it is priced between $500 and $1200 depending on condition. There was also a few tough issue trade tokens/establishment tokens in various metals. There werer numerous 10 - 30 dollar priced coins as well... WAY too many to mention. All for $125 I just couldn't believe it. He just doesn't check his foriegn items. Not bragging here just very very excited. Now I need to figure out what to keep and what to sell.... hmmmm..... Thanks for reading! I also bought a powerball ticket in hopes that my luck will continue. $275 Million ticket would be sweet too!! I will try to post some photos this week. Tom
G-4 75. VG-8 225. F-12 450. VF-20 900. EF-40 2000. Very good find. These prices were just for the folks without a canadian price guide. Good find!!! :thumb:
If I will the lottery yes.. I would give him 5 to 10% quite honestly and then we could open a coin shop and I could leave the military. =)
Right on buddy, glad to hear it. Several cointalkers have had great days today it looks. Cant wait for pics !!
