<p>[QUOTE="easj3699, post: 1543805, member: 40095"]i bet you learned your lesson on that one huh?? i used to set up at a flea market with my father and one day a new guy showed up and and i saw he was selling silver quarters below melt but some other guy bought them all. then that same guy asked about his silver dimes, he said a buck a piece, which was far more below melt then he sold the quarters but the guy already spent all of his money. so my father and i bought the several hundred dimes then bought all of his silver dollars for 20 each (spot was about $38 at this time) bought all of those and older proof sets and silver bars. after all of the buying is done and im going through everything i end up coming across a fine 1895 O morgan. it is funny how sometimes you just stumble across stuff. another time we were at our favorite dealers shop and he said "i just bought these, nobody has seen them. $200 for them all". there was capped barber and seated so we bought it, after we got home realized we had an 1844 O double die seated half dollar. it was a very fine and ended up selling on ebay for two grand. sorry i got off subject but i saw that 1895 you mentioned and the keys typed themselves[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
