<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bama guy, post: 453832, member: 6154&quot;]Morning everyone.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Well yesterday, Saturday, I was bored and hungry.&nbsp; Was really killing a little time before the Alabama and LSU game (a classic). Well I make a trip to the big city (pop. 6,000).&nbsp; Stopped&nbsp; by a little antique shop in town.&nbsp; I know the owner and have purchased a few items in the past.&nbsp; Today I ask him if he had any coins. He said they did not but his wife said wait a minute.&nbsp; She pulled out an album and had a some walking liberty half,&nbsp; which were well circulated, and some Morgans and Peace dollar.&nbsp; To make a long story short, I bought a 1921 Morgan , slider unc., 3 peace dollars, Philadelphia mint in nice circulated condition and a 1993 silver eagle for&nbsp; $10.50 each.&nbsp; Also bought two old Roman&nbsp; novelty coins for a buck each.&nbsp; One of them, I think is a licinius bronze follis. Not anything special but kind of neat. It is an off center strike and is in really great condition. I guess the mint had their problems to . Anyhow it has a little naked man on the reverse which I think is Jupiter.&nbsp; It is now officially my oldest coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This couple does not know anything&nbsp; about coins.&nbsp; What they do is go around to estate sales and bid on things.&nbsp; The lady told me coins are usually to expensive for them to buy. She had a price&nbsp; list that a guy who buys silver from them gave her.&nbsp; When I&nbsp; ask her what she wanted for the Walkers, she could not find it on the list.&nbsp; While she was&nbsp; looking at her list, she ask me if these were Franklin&#039;s&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I am thinking about going back and cleaning this album out.&nbsp; Probably has about 30 walkers and 20 silver dollars.&nbsp; I really do not want to rip them off but I want a good deal to.&nbsp; Is the general rule still 10x face value for average, nothing special,&nbsp; silver coins. The silver dollars were decent coins, not slicks.&nbsp; The walkers have seen better days.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I did not spend much money but it was interesting.&nbsp; It got me pumped up for the game<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />hya:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
