[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 25300770, member: 10461"][URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-old-antique-mall-coin-booth-repost-of-a-2012-repost-of-a-2007-writeup.297082/']When I was an antique mall dealer[/URL], the older and more interesting (but still inexpensive) World stuff like that got put into labeled 2x2 holders and sold at 35c each or 3/$1. (My cost was typically 5-10 cents per unit, in bulk.) The more modern minors or stuff I had too much of (like early West German 1-, 5-, and 10-pfennig pieces, decimalized British and Australian, Eurocents, etc.) went into the 10c or 12/$1 bin, loose. I also sold loose US Wheat cents at that same 10c or 12/$1 price. Any better cherrypicks I made from my source bags (say, $3 and up) would be put out in fancier computer-printed flips in my main case, priced closer to catalog. The labeled, 2x2-holdered 3/$1 coins were my best sellers and sometimes covered my booth rent each month. So I have fond memories of “junkbox” World coins. Both as a cherrypicker and seller of them. I made a few nice finds back in the day. This was my small setup circa late 2007. The glass front curio cabinet had a few coin books and supplies like Dansco albums.
