    I went to the Eye Doctor today. When I came out, there was a guy with a table set out beside the road. A banner was hung there that said "Unique Gifts". I doubted they had coins, but went to check anyway. I saw the guy had lots of silver dollars for $40, including all silver rounds. He was also selling St. Gauden's gold coins. I had $20 to spend, so here's what I bought:

    1932-P Washington Quarter-$5
    1929-P Standing Liberty Quarter-$5
    1908-P Barber Dime-$2
    1919-S Liberty Head Dime-$2
    1937-P Liberty Head Dime-$2
    1942-P Liberty Head Dime-$2
    1958-P Roosevelt Dime-$2

    My dad is a big fan of Standing Liberty Quarters, so I'm giving the '29 to him. The rest will be going in albums or traded.

    Anytime you can buy silver for 15% under melt you're doing well.

    Thats a nice deal you got. You should pass by again and see if there is anything new.

    Although you got a good deal, be careful about buying anything of a higher value from some guy on the side of the road. Chances are that it could be fake.
