<p>[QUOTE="Check_M_All, post: 166825, member: 6661"]Antique shops rule this area. There are so many. I've made some nice finds in them. One of the area coin dealers (20 miles away) rents a display case in one of the shops here in town. The problem for me with the antique shops is that the prices remain constant. Someone rents the display case, prices the coins and that's how it stays with no change depending on the market. This weekend, I found that in two of the cases, all of the silver Roosevelts, Mercs and Walking Liberties had prices that were lower than their silver price... so I bought them all. I can't help it. There lies the problem. If I see it and know that it's even $.20 underpriced, I'll buy it. Included were 2 Walking Liberties 1918-D (G) and a 1936-D (VF) for $4.50 a piece. About a month and a half ago, I picked up 5 uncirculated 1964 JFKs for $3.00 a piece. Not huge deals, I know, but good enough. It makes me feel like I'm cheating on my regular dealer a bit, but...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
