[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1549607, member: 75105"]I used to visit a pawn shop in my town once a month. He did not know much about coins, and I would find a few world silver coins in the 25 cent bin from time to time. However as the months went by, he started getting a little high on his prices.

I tried to talk him down, but he wouldn't budge. Sometimes he brings coins to a few of the local flea markets, and if he has a bunch of junk silver, he will sell it for melt. This is the same person I got a 1794 Franklin press token for $15 off of and flipped for $127. I think scoring at a pawn shop is all about knowledge. Maybe they got a bunch of junk silver , that they didn't have the time to sort, and taking the time to look through the lot may yield a few semi-keys or a nice condition coin.[/QUOTE]
