<p>[QUOTE="rolltide, post: 8580, member: 608"]I use to go to antique stores and try to find coins among other things. Coins aren't their specialty...and if they're like anyone else in the world....they'll think that ANY coin older than 1960 is worth tons...so they'll overprice it majorly. If you've ever looked behind the counters....some people have about 18 pricing guide books on antiques or whatnot...if you're lucky, you'll get a circulated coin that they looked up in a book and figured it was proof or something and marked it as that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Probably the only way you'll get a coin at a good price is if it's an error they overlooked. 3 legged buffalo...DD....key dates...who knows. I've never tried a pawn shop though. I'll try some in my area and let ya know if I found a copper 1943 penny! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
