<p>[QUOTE=&quot;biggiej, post: 649689, member: 19474&quot;]Today i had to do something i swore i would never do, but i had to. My wife needed medicine and our soc. sec. checks do not come till next week. so I had to grab a few of my extra coins and go to our local pawn shop/ coin dealer. I was on the defensive before i went in and made sure to tell him I would be back in 9 days to get my treasures back + the 20% interest charge. I was ready to get screwed beyond the interest charge but he explained that he would give me 80% of book value. I know that depends on what book you look at but I had done a lot of research and found him not to be far off.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; These were duplicates that i had gotten on ebay either because they were cheap or I got caught bidding in two auctions for the same thing. I took the money and told him to put my coins in a safe place and I would be back to get them. While I was there I looked around and saw all of the coins that people have to part with just to make ends meet and it made me sad.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; While I was there I saw 4 people come in and part with coins that they will never come back for. For a brief moment I considered trying to pawn wife and keep coins but was brought back to reality by her shrill voice telling me to take the money so we could go.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I told her upon our departure that I will be back in 9 days to get my babies and that maybe next time it might be her instead of the coins!! Though I do not believe i could get 80% of market for her, or could I?:hatch:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
