[QUOTE="clembo, post: 365424, member: 8033"]Yes all, it's another coin shop story and it hurt me to watch it unfold. The owner of the shop is in Veas till Monday. He leaves very little discretion to the employees on buying and selling while he's gone. So naturally a guy wanders in with a LARGE stack of 1934 tens and twenties. The guy that's been there the longest got the good look at them but I caught tome glimpses. All circulated but many mark free VF-XF notes. A few nationals as well. Our hands are basically tied - can't really make an offer and it's NOT my place to offer and buy some. I bit my tongue. It's still bleeding. Just at a glance I'll guarantee the guy had at least $500 face value. OUCH! Now the other employee DID suggest he come back next week when the boss is back. He may buy a few. I'll need to talk to the boss about this to see if he'll give me permission to buy a few from the guy. Hey, it's his shop and shop etiquette is in effect. I realize there is NOT a huge premium on these but MAN I hate to see them walk out the door! If I can snatch a few I will. Will probably have to sell a few as well and hopefully make a buck or two. Clembo's in hustle mode. I sure do hope this guy comes back! clembo[/QUOTE]
