<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 515463, member: 4552"]Local flea market. A seller there has seveal bins of coins. Some years ago I first noticed him. He takes all foreign coins and DUMPS them into one or two bins. Then he takes all US coins and does the same in different bins. DUMPS them. Talking about lots and lots of coins and everything from Mercury Dimes, Jefferson Nickels, Lincolns, etc. A few Standing Liberty Quarters as well. One price. $1/coin. </p><p>For the first few years I came out with coins such as in Mercury Dimes as 16S, 21D, 42/41, 45micro S and many, many others. And if you purchased several coins, his prices went down. So over the years I probably purchased a few thousand Mercury Dimes and many, many other coins. </p><p>HOWEVER, all good things come to an end. I gave him a price guide, explained to him about coin values, so naturally now most of his coins are in 2x2's and the prices are way, way up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
