[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 541263, member: 4552"]Now that one irks me a little. I don't mind looking for the right ones but the people that have to stick thier fingernails in them to see if OK should be shot. Meanwhile back to coins. At a local flea market there is a seller that has mostly coins. Over the years I've tried and tried to explain to him some are worth a lot of money. He has several large bins on his tables. He virtually DUMPS coins in those. One if for foreign coins, two are for US coins. Naturally those too get mixed up. He usually has his prices by the type of coins. All foreign coins are $0.25 each. US coins are $0.10 and up depending on what it is, how bright the sky is, how much you look like you can afford, your shoe size, size of your wallet, etc. In other words, no idea of what is what. I so call cherrypicked his coins for years. If you purchase many coins, his prices go down per coin. I usually buy all his Mercury Dimes and usually about $0.75 to $0.90 each. Also, pending on how much I argue with him. Found such coins as 26S, 42/41, 21D and many, many others. I have slowly got it sunk in over the years that some of his coins are worth money. I even gave him a price list. I'm a cherrypicker but I still try to help those that appear not to be able to help themselves.[/QUOTE]
