I decided to cheap out and ask about combined shipping; by the time I got my answer, they were gone. $14.99 for two SLQ's is still below melt, at least if you aren't counting weight loss due to wear. :) Someone else was listing 2006 silver proof quarter sets for $33 + $2.99 shipping, and 2007 for $34; those went fast, too, with their melt value at the time around $41. Yesterday I bought three Mercs for $6 + $1.58 shipping; he sold several more lots of three or four for $2 per coin, but I was too slow on all the others. From the same guy, I also snagged three 1942-S nickels for $1.50 + $1.58, a batch of "1940 to 1946 Jefferson Nickels" that included four war nickels for $5 + $2, and a hopefully-XF 1914 Barber dime for $15 + $1.58. He promises to combine shipping and include a check for the extra, but I'm happy with those prices even if he doesn't refund a cent. The bargains are getting harder to grab, but they're still out there. I'm still hoping to land a big lot of silver for well under melt.
