<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 2847477, member: 36864"]I was in Texas for the last few days for work and found a pawn shop with tons of coins priced very reasonably (except for the coppers, those prices were crazy). A nice old lady and her smokin hot daughter were running the place. I looked around for a bit but didn't see a whole lot that I couldn't live without until i came across a box of MS Morgan dollars that they were asking $30 each for. These were all pretty low MS and were all commons, but for $30 each, I figured I'd buy a few of them. I asked if they would take $25 each if i bought twenty pieces and they happily accepted my offer. I ended up buying twenty two pieces since that was all of the cash that I had on hand and they wouldn't accept plastic. These are three of what I bought; the first is the nicest in the bunch and the other two are pretty typical of the rest of the lot. Some of them need a dip, but are otherwise nice...especially at $25 each. I plan to send them a bank transfer for a couple of rolls, but she had about ten rolls and another hundred or so loose pieces stacked up in a box. I stop at pawn shops and coin shop whenever I take a trip but seldom ever come across a deal like this. These are raw, but I grade them MS-65, MS-64 (but needs a dip), and MS-62. What do grade them as, and if any of the VAM guys care to take a stab at identifying them, I'd appreciate it. [ATTACH=full]675106[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
