<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 342944, member: 4552"]Oddly enough he at one time was my greatest source of Mercury Dimes. He USED to sell them for $1 each. And even then the more you purchased, the lower the prices. I USED to buy from 20 to 50 at a time from him. I've gotten 42D/41, 26S, 31D and once even a 21 and for about $0.90 each. He USED to have really nice grades of coins. Once I got a 38D Merc in about MS60 from him. Now for some reason the vast amount of his coins are barely G-4. Every time I see him it appears to be more tape on the coins. First time just one strip accross each row in the folders. Now accross in both directions. </p><p>The problem is he still sells many coins regardless of that. </p><p>As huntsman53 explained flea markets get many, many people wondering around all day. This particular one is just outside Chicago so heavily populated and there are virtually thousands of people there 3 days in a row. Although this guy is usually there only on Fridays, he still sells a lot of coins. He has been there on Saturdays too lately due to a drop in his sales. GEEEE. I wonder why.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
