<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1743659, member: 19423&quot;]Been a couple of weeks without a blog post.&nbsp; I took a week off from the local bid boards so there just wasn&#039;t much to post.&nbsp; However, I was make it to the shops this past week.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the bid boards this week I noticed quite a bit of Morgan Dollars.&nbsp; Most of them seem to be AU or lower MS grades, MS60-63 for the most part.&nbsp; I&#039;m not really that into Morgans so I don&#039;t spend too much time looking at them, but I&#039;ll sometimes buy them if they&#039;re offered at near silver melt prices and/or if one of them just looks cool.&nbsp; None of the Morgans this past week interested me so I spent my lot viewing time on the rest of the U.S. coins and the World coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless, I really didn&#039;t buy too much at the bid boards this week.&nbsp; I was able to pick up a few proof silver Washington quarters for silver melt and also a proof silver Kennedy Half that was just barely over silver melt.&nbsp; When buying silver to add to my collection or even for resale, I really like to buy silver proofs when they are available for junk silver prices versus the typical worn out 90% junk silver that is usually out there.&nbsp; I also picked up another pair of NGC sample slabs with silver Kennedy halves in them.&nbsp; They cost a little bit more than the silver price, but not too much.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Probably the coolest coin I was able to get on the bid boards this past week was a 1921-S Walking Liberty Half Dollar.&nbsp; The coin is probably graded AG3 or so, not quite meeting the standard for Good, but it&#039;s close.&nbsp; Apparently, the other bidders didn&#039;t realize this one was one of the better dates in the series with a mintage of only 548,000 so I was able to win it for only $15.50!&nbsp; Not too bad!</p><p><br /></p><p>:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
