    There is a new flea market in my town that opened for the summer, and i figured i'd take a gander at the stuff. ( I love going too flea markets, you never know what you might find) well anyways, most of the stuff was typical stuff for such a place, the usual quilts,nick nacks,plater where but there was a booth of this older gentalman who had all kinds of war related stuff, mostly nazi related (uniforms, buttons, swords, and all kinds of other stuff, well, he had a small display case of buttons and other little things and among the stuff he had a little baggy of steel cents, I asked him if i could look thru them and he was more than happy too oblige so i sorted thru and found a few decent ones, and i picked them out of the bag and asked so "how much do you want for just these" he then replied " how much change do you have in your pocket?" so i reached in and pulled out 62 cents ( one of which was a 57-d wheatie) and he said "sold" i was totally stoked, I then turn around too leave after giving him the change in my pocket and he says where ya going? I turned around puzzled and he hands me the rest of the bag of the ones i had put back in the bag, so i got 35 steels for .62 cents, here they are in all their glory.

    Nice haul!
    Too bad those deals don't come along too often.
