<p>[QUOTE="joecoincollect, post: 2156325, member: 71338"]One big area you left out is flea/antique markets. I live to go to these. I'd say 7 times out of 10 I profit significantly (Ie, I can make an easy 50-100+ profit from my finds). For instance, I recently bought 5 individual proof silver quarter sets for 5 each. I explicitly said aren't these sets silver and he said no. His loss. I paid 5 each, 25 for 5 sets. As you can see, I got a lot of silver for free. With these kinds of sets, I've now picked them up like this 3-4 times now. Apparently the sellers can't read or don't care to read that the sets say Silver Proof Set. With going to these places, you have to be knowledgeable about coins in order to score. It's not always as simple as finding a silver bracelet not marked as silver. Usually I just know what is a reasonable price for coins at these places and only pick up great deals. A little knowledge can go a long way[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
