<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 911025, member: 24633"]I thought I would never part with any of my Morgans until I got laid off when my boss closed his shop two years ago. So, I started going through the multiples upon multiples of the common dates of mostly MS63's to bring in some much needed cash. I sold a few to a couple of local dealers, and I was barely able to break even on them. I knew that I couldn't afford to keep selling them that way. Then, of all things, I came across a pawn shop owner who was bitten by the "coin bug", and he was paying me better than CDN Ask for any and all of the common date Morgans and very close to retail for duplicates of my modern commems. It wasn't that I took advantage of his inexperience because I would often spend hours with him explaining how the market works, what he could expect to get from other dealers if he chose to sell to them and what he could realistically get if he sold them to his pawn shop customers. He was happy with the deals, and I was happy that I was able to keep my head above water.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
