I just had to stop at my local coin dealer today. I bought 3 Morgan dollars 1878, 1879, & 1921, got 3 circulated SAEs for the price of generic and 5 generic rounds. Paid $11.00 each for the Morgans, and $12.30 for the SAEs and rounds. Oh and I also broke down and bought a 1964 Gold Sovereign for $145.00. He gave me a break on the Gold because it had a couple of marks on the front.

Nice buy on the Morgans. Be sure and check that 78 for any special VAM attributes. Its a good year for that.
That gold was a good pickup also under melt. Sure it's 64? I thought those .23 oz pieces were from 1902 to 1930. Not doubting you, I've just never seen a 1964 piece.
Circulated SAEs?? how does that happen? I catch one every now and then as a pocket piece. Maybe a toning project gone bad and they needed a dipping to clean it a little stripping of luster.
Sound like a good shop to visit. |

I buy a lot of circulated silver eagles. I don't know what people do with them. Some are really almost uncirculated, but a few look like they went through WWIII! If silver goes down any more and I'll start to use them to pitch against a wall.

I have a tube of 17 well worn silver eagles. These things are scratched up, dented, dinged, and worn. I don't know how they get like this...but as long as they look like they still contain most of their silver and I can get them for about spot I am happy! Plus, it is fun to have some eagles that you don't have to worry about the condition of in case you want to take them out and play with them.

Two of the three eagles cleaned up like new. The other one must have been in a fire or something and someone took a scrub pad to it. It is covered with scratches. I may make this one my new pocket piece.
