<p>[QUOTE="eric6794, post: 2676022, member: 76066"]So I was out of town today and seen a little antique shop and I decided to stop and see what they had, well the first thing I ask when I go to antique shops is if they have any coins or paper money and the guy I asked today say I have some and pulls out a little sandwich baggy that looked dirty and had a mixture of wheats, foreign coins a 1907 V nickel and a ground find 1936 buffalo nickel. I picked the 2 best wheats the V and the buffalo and asked how much thinking a buck or 2 but when the guy said $15 I was almost floored lol. The wheats were common dates the V was barely readable and the buffalo was a ground find, the guy said his "buddy" said the V nickel was worth around 25-30 dollars but he'd let me have it and the other 3 for 15 I politely said i'll pass and explained to him that the V was a fairly common coin and even in nicer conditions it probably wouldnt bring that much but he was firm. I know it's his coins to sell for what he wants but sheesh.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
