<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tight wad, post: 415326, member: 15116&quot;]We had WAY too much fun! Unlike the harried atmosphere of the &quot;I&#039;m too busy&quot; coin shop, the dealers at the flea market are Very, Very kind and helpful! In fact, they educated me so much,and made me feel so welcome, that my pockets got full of metal, and my wallet got pancake flat! But boy was it fun. You have only to ask &quot;what&#039;s a full horn?, and by gosh they can show you an example, in fact maybe 50 examples! Yes sir, if you want to collect a set of something, they got it already slapped together in an airtight case! Everytime I went to ask a question, they happily answered it, and as we became closer &quot;friends&quot; I felt the prices got lower, and the &quot;special deals&quot; kept flowing the more I bought.&nbsp; Each time I came back for a visit, my new friend had unearthed another example of something I had mentioned wanting. I would leave to traverse the Bazzar, only to return and buy yet another treasure. He even had a miniature walker 1oz coin set in a sterling necklace! Sometimes, I would be sidetracked by yet another coin dealer, as helpful and friendly as the first. I got an uncirculted proof set on Bicentennial coins I had been wanting, infact two sets! I got some indian head cents,Ike clads,Kennedy halfs, Morgan 0 mints,in fact I can&#039;t really remember all I bought, or in most cases what I paid. My wife loaded up on Statehood Quarters. </p><p>&nbsp;Every single dealer was careful (knowing I was a green horn) to pick through his coins and give me&nbsp; the finest quality he had at my price range.</p><p>The coins I wanted were the inexpensive ones, yet they would plow through pounds of indian cents (&quot;now don&#039;t take those shiny ones,take one like this..the one collectors are looking for&quot;)to help me have a good time and feel I had real treasure in my hand. One guy sold me Morgan 1189VF Omint, and gave me a proof Centennial Kennedy free! Then we swapped the &quot;life story&quot; chat for awhile. He said he&#039;d be looking for me next week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
