<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 4706035, member: 25270"]Yesterday I went to a coin shop for the first time since the pandemic started. I like to look through the world coin value bins to find things to add to/upgrade my collection or resell. I finished going through one bin and the clerk was counting them and said, "I see you like British coins. I have a bunch of sixpence if you'd like to look through those." I said sure, so he brings out this huge tray of sixpence. I started looking through them and they all seemed in good shape, and I've found I can consistently resell sixpence at a profit on eBay, so I decided to ask what it would cost to buy them all. He comes up with a price of $60. Now that's a lot of money for some base metal sixpences, but it's an awful lot of sixpences and I know I'll make a profit, even if it takes a few years. Well, when opportunity knocks you have to seize it. So now I have eight pounds of sixpence. I'll count them later and see how many there are. It's going to take me a long time to sell these off but I think it'll make sense in the end. I know most people don't want to bother with such small potatoes stuff but it does add up. And I should definitely be able to upgrade my collection. [ATTACH=full]1155229[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1155230[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
