I visited my first coin shop today. It was a lot of fun. I bought a 1922 Peace Dollar for $15 and a 1997 1oz Silver Kookaburra for $22. I think I made out pretty good. What do you guys think?

Sounds like you found a nice shop. It's great to have a local shop to go spend some time in on a Saturday. You might find some good deals.. and you might even learn a thing or two. Now you just have to find a local coin club to attend.
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Now selling Copper pennies. 1.6x plus shipping. Limited amounts available.
I would have bought up all the Morgans at that price

The whole store is about the size of a closet and it also sells Civil War stuff and metal detecting supplies. The name is Rebel Coin Shop. The owner is about 65 I'd say and a proud southerner like myself. He started carrying on about how fiat is trash and saying all kinds of speculations. I was about to ask "Are you a Realcent member?" Another guy came in and we got to talking and it turns out he sorts halves. He thought it was cool that I sort pennies.
