<p>[QUOTE="kforbes862, post: 1562870, member: 32069"]Went to the dealer i buy coins from every Saturday today and he was closed till Monday for some reason. I ended up having to go to a different place i have only been to a couple times. I spent a long time deciding if i wanted to get a 1965 French 10 franc "Hercules" coin that he wanted $22 for, or a 1948 south Africa 5 shilling/crown. I ended up getting the south Africa crown for $18, and its melt value today is $23.37.It is in really good shape and has what looks to me like the Beginning of toning around the edges. Getting it for less than melt value, i am definitley happy with it, and it fits nicely with my collection of British empire silver. If i wasnt on a limited budget because of moving right now, i would have loved to get both of them. i hope the french 10 franc is there next week when i go back. I will get some pictures posted when i get a chance[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
