Todays haul from the meltdown shop

So, i had lost interest in coins but today i gained back some of my enthusiasm. I havent bought any coins all year, so i decided to visit the meltdown shop and see what they had.

1st coin came from junk bin-
A nice rotated reverse error
Imaged to show orientation
(Best one ive found yet)
2nd coin also came from junk bin-
1890 cc morgan dollar 3rd coin has the most clash marks ive ever seen on a 1921 Morgan
(Guess the vam if you are inclined)
For a grand total of $75, i feel pretty damn good about todays haul. Hopefully i can flip one or 2 of these and make some beer money.

“Meltdown shop”

Damaged CCs used to sell like hotcakes and I doubt anything had changed in this respect. I don’t see why you couldn’t double your money on this one.

 

I don't understand why any dealer would place any of those coins in a junk bin.

Nice pickings!

 

Ok. I’ll bite. There’s a lot I don’t know: what’s this meltdown shop to which you are referring?

 

3GL?

Nice picks btw! I'll have to post an image of my most recent ebay melt bin pull...hehe....

 

Sweet 21 good job!

 

I love the rotated reverse!

 

Nice haul!

The '86-O should get a portion of your $75 back.

For the 1921, I see the eagle's wing, the cap vee, the bridge of her nose, the leaf tips and some of the leaves but what I don't see is a letter transfer. Shucks!

$75 is about $30 over melt, but still a good deal.

 

They are dumping an NGC (presumed to be graded Mint State) graded 1921 Morgan Dollar in a melt bin??? What gives?

 

No that one was $35, the other 2 were $20 each.

 

Thats the one, of course it didnt take me long to find it either lol

 

Its got a partial N of IN & M designer initial clash but they dont stand out like the rest of the clash marks. Still, 21s just arent seen this busy very often.

 

Not many N clashers in the '21 series...

 

Its basically a coin shop that employs people who know nothing about coins. Ive heard they do this strategically to rip people off.
It works both ways though, as ive scored a few CCs, mint errors etc from these places.
One time i bought a 20 cent piece that was marked as a quarter and only paid $7 for it in a nice VF

 

Letter transfers would have to look like this....

for me to be able to see them in a photo.

My day just got even better, been trying to locate this stuff for 2-3 weeks now. These bottles dissapear off the shelf w/in 15 mins of when the delivery truck arrives. Sounds crazy right?? I actually got the last bottle in stock

 

This is my favorite...

 

How in the world does that work?!

(Btw, thanks for answering)

 

Melt Down Shops, funny the first thing that popped into my head was Walmart. There's always a kid screaming and crying and having a "Melt Down". LOL

Sweet haul!! I'd certainly be flipping some of that for a profit.
