<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 425303, member: 5454&quot;]I still stop and ask for coins at yard sales, tag sales and garage sales.</p><p>On Friday one homeowner had a big wooden box of loose US silver coins.</p><p>He was asking 12X face.&nbsp; The box was loaded with Barber coins, Walkers and Franklins.&nbsp; For a quantity buy he agreed to 10X face.&nbsp; I picked out the Barber halfs, a few Walkers and several Franklin halfs.</p><p>So I paid $5 each.&nbsp; Now some of the Barber halfs were just what I needed to fill holes in my Barber half dollar collection.&nbsp; Many had mint marks and there were some New Orleans minted coins in the mix. For example I got a 1909-O for five bucks!&nbsp; That coin is a R-2 and worth maybe three times the $5 I gave.</p><p>At this point in the market I think junk 90% is the way to go.</p><p>Still in his wooden box are loads of Barber quarters, SLQs and Barber dimes.</p><p>You bet I&#039;ll return there next weekend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
