That's been my experience with antique shops also. Prices never change, inventory turns over very slowly, and this makes it possible to find an...
Pretty good finds for the money. It seems that some collectors choose to dispose of some old coins they want to liquidate from their collection...
Most of the money you will lose in collecting will be from buying overgraded coins and/or cleaned coins that have not been properly represented....
Jeffmo, I think you have already made up your mind to collect morgans from the wscoin site [fyi, the prices look high and the grading...
