<p>[QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 149286, member: 6032"]i hate to say it but i think you got a little ripped off on that coin. the coin book i have here says it is worth $7 in VF20. i myself think you got ripped off. i'm not saying it's not a nice coin but you payed way too much for it. where did you get it at? at coin shops and flea markets i would probaly buy that same coin for around $4. i usually put a seperate coin value guide in my car because you never know when you are going to find a place with coins for sale. a long time ago i learnt my lesson with that when i went the a antique shop. he had two morgans for sale a 1921 and a 1896o. i had a feeling that the 1896o coin was worth more because he said he did not mean to put that one in the $18 bin. so i got it and i went home and looked it up in my coinbook. it said the 1921 was worth $8 and the 1896 was worth $18. i do not take chances like that anymore because i was thinking one of these days i am going to get ripped off. i would reccomend you getting a 2006 redbook guide to carry around with you when you are in your car. if you have a chance to buy coins just get it out and see what you are getting good deal on and what you arn't. alot of antique shop people always set too high of a price on their coins because they have no idea what's it worth. sometimes you can get a coin way below the value. you never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
