<p>[QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 317383, member: 6032"]hi everyone!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> just wanted to share the all time best purchases i have made over the time i have started collecting. first one is a 1924S peace dollar i got at an antique shop for only $14. its a pretty nice coin but has some rust on the back and it is just a little worn but i think i got a good deal on it. next is a 1893 barber quarter i got at a county fair. it has a cool story behind it. i was down at a county fair around where my sister lives. there was all kinds of booths set up and i was just browsing around and saw a hunter that made coin sets that had pictures of turkeys in a picture frame with an indian cent, buffalo nickel, and a sac dollar and some other coins in it. the buffalo nickels were dateless, but the indians looked pretty good. i was looking at the indian cents when the guy that was selling them came up and said "you interested in coins?" i said yes<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and he took me to the tent and pulled out a briefcase full of coins. he said pick out whatever you want and i'll give you a fair price for it. i saw a blank quarter folder and looked inside and saw this screaming at me to buy it!:loud: there was a 1915 barber quarter in there also. so i ended up buying this, the 1915 quarter and the book for $5. i also bough some early date indian head cents and some cheap barber dimes he had in old looking 2X2s'. i wish i could get all my coins that cheap.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> what do you think the grades on these coins are?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
