<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GeorgeM, post: 1471127, member: 28550&quot;]The best buy I&#039;ve had recently at a B&amp;M shop was an 1848-O Small Date quarter (VG-8, but holed) from a silver junk bin for&nbsp; $12. If it wasn&#039;t holed, I probably would never have gotten my hands on it. That was at a &quot;We Buy Gold&quot; place. The biggest coin shop by me doesn&#039;t do much at all with foreign coins or medals, although I&#039;ve had a few good finds in their 10/$1 bin. Back in February, I found about 2 dozen Imperial German 10 Pfennigs in there (1890-1918) and a 50mm skydiving medal (Kobenhavns Faldskaermsklub). </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple shops by me are ridiculous on their prices. Two don&#039;t even have &#039;junk&#039; bins, so there&#039;s no chance to pick up something that the dealer hasn&#039;t already inflated a price on. I went to each shop once, asked about a few of the things I collect (US Philippine coins, medals, tokens, foreign coins) and left after getting blank looks. I guess they&#039;re decent places to go if you want to pay 20% over wholesale on a high-grade Morgan or buy custom Whitman holders, but you need to bring a long spoon to come out ahead in any of those transactions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
