<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave_in_delaware, post: 2560897, member: 82414&quot;]I made a point to visit my local(ish) estate cleanout thrift store this morning to see if they still had the three bags/containers of miscellaneous world coins for sale. It&#039;s been about a month since I first saw them, and I finally decided to not miss out today....</p><p><br /></p><p>I spent 5 minutes looking the bags over, trying to see what sort of coins were in the bags. I saw some German stuff, and a red-tinted coin in another, and one had a hole in the center of it... They all interested me, and I couldn&#039;t decide which bag to get. I also spent another 5 minutes looking at all the US silver proof sets they had in the display case as well as a few small US State Quarter proof sets on top of the case (which I got permission to open to peek inside).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, today I purchased the following items:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 bag of 51 foreign coins</p><p>1 bag of 51 foreign coins (yes a second bag)</p><p>1 plastic case of 15 foreign coins</p><p>1 &quot;Tetradrachm of Nero&quot; coin</p><p>1 box US Mint Proof set 2001 State Quarters</p><p><br /></p><p>The interesting thing about the State Quarter proof sets they had was that the other Proof Sets were priced $1 less than the box I got (which was bigger). I went with the 2001 box because it contained the 2002 Proof Set as well (not sure if that&#039;s normal or not).</p><p><br /></p><p>I also asked if they&#039;d take a little less for multiple items. So I got a &quot;multiple items discount&quot; on all the world coin items ($1 off sticker price). </p><p><br /></p><p>So I got all of these coins for $20. Hopefully that was a good deal for my first ever actual coin purchase. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, time to photograph and catalog them....</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading/looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
