Message:: [QUOTE="Doug21, post: 1242414, member: 5650"]. It's not inventory, he doesn't try to sell them at above face.  The original owners of... Guilford  Coin Exchangeguilford, ct used lottery ticket sales as a way to get people into the store when lottery was a new thing. Worked great ! If you buy your lottery tickets at a COIN shop, you should be elated to get back a big IKE dollar in change. Last time I sold at a flea market, a year ago, I sold the Ike's I had for $6 for 5, ( only had like 40) and sold ALL my red seal $2 bills for $2.50 each ( one deal to same guy, over 100 of them). I wasn't there to sell coins and stuff, more like selling household items since I'm trying to clear out my home and move. A year later the house is unsold, and worth even less. I feel like an (__*__) for not selling it 3-4 years ago. I plan to sell again within a few weeks. It's a pain to load up the F-150 and do this, but I will. Oddly the $2 bills and Ikes sold, buy my heavier junk. No point to hold deuces and Ikes, but I'm weird and like to tip with them....Like I said earlier I used to buy Morgan dollars for tipping purposes when they were $8 each.  I'd offer a waitress the Morgan or the standard tip usually instead of just pushing a morgan on somebody. I used non 1921's , a coin dated 1886 is more interesting and a VG coin looks cooler than an xf-AU 1921. Some were greatly received, others wanted the normal tip. most waitstaff would love a cash type tip, IMO.[/QUOTE]
