Hi. I just got a good deal. I bought 58 silver dimes for $58 dollars.  The oldest being an 1917. That is my best deal so far. What are some of your best deals? Chris

Bought close to 400.00 face at 9.35X face when silver was fetching 11X face. Turned it over pretty quick though.

Back when I was in college, I had the oppertunity to buy a 1000 oz bar for around 4200.00. Was thinking the pawn shop guy was crazy at the time, but really didn't know anything about silver bars back then 2001/2002. |

| Oh earlier in the year I picked up 600 silver eagle for 11.22 each. A few months down the road I sold them all for 19.00 each to an Individual. I was grinning while going to the bank on that deal :) |

| i recently checked out a coin dealer near my office who is normally very overpriced. However, he had war nickles for 75 cents each. I bought everything he had. That was about 2-3 weeks ago when they were at about $1 each. TAKE THAT OBAMA! |

Hi there-
Best Wheat find? 2 1909 VDB cents.
Best Silver find? About 14 ounces in halves one day (2 90% rolls)
Best Deal? 4 2009 cent boxes bought for face and sold for $600 ($150 ea)
Pennies have been my most profitable venture BY FAR.

Only when they CAN'T have it, ......THEN they'll want it.
I love Cents. If you get an UNC box, you win. If you get a regular circ. box, you win. If you get a zinc box, you don't lose....so you still win. |

bought some bulk wheat cents from a dude for 3.5 cents. my 6 year old spent 5 minutes looking through them and found a 1914 with a $20 red book value.
bought a bag of junk halves from a coin dealer. 6 year old found an 1892-S barber with a blue book of $230 after about 15 minutes.
go to the bank to get halves for coin roll hunting. 6 year old finds a crumpled up $20 bill on the floor of the bank. |
Buying:
Peace/Morgan G+ at $15.00
copper cents at 1.3X
wheat pennies at 3X

Lemme borrow that kid. I'll feed him/her and give you a cut of the take. What do you say? I'll pay shipping both ways, hehe.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams |
