<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 133605, member: 4552"]Sunday I went to one of regular flea markets and as usual got there as they were opening up. Noticed a guy with some black notebooks that looked like they contained coin pages. Opened them up and yes there were many pages of coins in 2x2's. One book was all cents from Indians to Lincolns. The other contained all nickels. I asked how much for the entire books. He said $200 for the Nickels and $300 for the Cents. Only had enough money to bargain for the Nickels and ended up with a $170 price for the entire book. He said he used to be a dealer but never had enough to make a go of it so getting rid of the remains. It will take me weeks to go through all this. Sure wish I had to money to buy the other book of cents. </p><p><br /></p><p> Got home and found the following in that book: </p><p>1- Indian Head Cent 1875 in less than G-4</p><p>47-Liberty Head Nickels from 1897 to 1912 in grades of G-4 to F-12</p><p>228- buffalo/Indian Head Nickels from 1919 to 1938 in VG-8 to AU-50</p><p>9- Jefferson Nickels from the 30's and 40's in AU-50</p><p>19-Jefferson Nickels from the 70's all Proofs</p><p>1- 3" black 3 ringed binder</p><p>20-plastic pages for holding 20 - 2x2's </p><p><br /></p><p>All in all more than 300 coins for a really cheap price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
