<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tight wad, post: 587101, member: 15116&quot;]There is a coin shop in our town who&#039;s prices are pretty low and whose quality of coin is real good for the price. In my twilight years now, I try to avoid too much chocolate, cakes,and, well....world coins. However this shop keeps about 50lbs of them in various &quot;paw through&quot; boxes @ 5 for a dollar. If I sit down, a couple hrs pass real quick. Last year I guess I bought about 5lbs of them based on the pretty or unusual images on the coins. This year, based on older dates. But, I still have not bought any rare, expensive coins, or figured out how to put together a set or collection.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Tonight I happened on a 1900 10 Pfennig ,large ,from the German Empire (per Blackbook price guide to world coins). As I scanned the price page I saw $1,$12,$15,$20,$24,even $100to$140 based on conditon. Had I really cherry picked the dealer with my $.20 coin? </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Then my eye caught the price on MY PARTICULAR COIN....$.50! :headbang:</p><p>&nbsp;Now how can a coin 109 years old and in good shape fetch only $.50? </p><p>I don&#039;t know,but it&#039;s just my luck to own it !![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
