Hey guy, I have to brag a little bit, sorry! While on vacation last week, I stopped in at my Uncle's house. He deals in High End Antiques, pottery, etc. He finds a lot of his Great deals by going into people's homes. He also has several “Pickers” who find stuff for him. Well, anyway back to the subject, sometimes while in these houses he'll find coins. So, when I told him I was a collector/dealer, he started saving stuff for me to look at. He is not into coins and has a limited knowledge of them. So, I get up there and he dumps them all into my lap and I'm thinking Whoa. So, I take them to the table a little bit later and really start looking at them, while using my Red Book. I think the first coins I looked through where Morgans, now before I really got to looking through the coins I asked what His prices where for Morgans, Peace, Walkers, etc, If I wanted to buy any. Also remember, He doesn't really know what he has as far as Dates! A plus for me! Here are the Best Deals of the Night! 1892-S Morgan in probably Fine Condition for $10.00 1921 Peace for $8.00 1916-S Walker for $4.00 1916-D Walker for $4.00 2 1917-S Obverse Walkers for $4.00 1969 Indian Head for about $4.00 2 1970 Indian Heads for about $4.00 If I can remember anymore I will post them. I had a really enjoyable time and found some Great Treasures. Stop Motion
I told him about every Semi KeyDate before I paid him. He told me he didn't Care and He is very well off and kept telling me the Phrase "It's only Money". He really wanted me to have them and kept telling me, he was saving them for me. I also bought more non keydates, etc. Hope that clears this up? SM
oh my, some rare finds indeed. but anyways, nice stuff! thats cool that you have a connection like that!
A 21 Peace dollar for $8?!?!?!?!?! What condition is it in? Not that it matters for that price. Check the first L in DOLLAR for a VAM 3 (ray goes over instead of under). Great stuff. Nice uncle!
Thanks guys. Yeah, he is a very Good and Nice Uncle. I will try and post some photos tomorrow. I looked for the Vam 3 and I'm pretty sure it's not. I will post a photo of "Dollar" just incase. SM
Stop Motion... That is cool, really does sound like a great Uncle. Thats really excellent! P.S. was really only kidding before... Congrats.
I'll do that! It would be Awsome if he ever came across 95 Proof. But, he would probably want High $!!!! Thanks, SM
How much would it take...for me to pay you to buy me all of the rest of his coins???.... ....just kidding. But don't rub it in....I just paid $125 for a 1921 Peace Dollar.....nice one too! Speedy
Hey Speedy, That's Great! It's probably a Ton nicer than the one I have! Guys, I didn't want to start a Flame War or anything. I'm not trying to be cocky or boastful. Since my Uncle knew I was into coins, he wanted to help me out. Thanks, SM P.S. This Forum is Great! I've learned a Ton!
Hey SM You wern't anyof the things you listed.... you had a great find...every collector has them in his/her collecting years. my 1921 Peace Dollar would grade XF/AU....at one place on the coin there looks like it might have been cleaned at sometime but the coin has retoned and most of the 21's I see have been cleaned...this one isn't harsh and has good eye appeal...... Speedy
