A coin dealer at the local flea market was kind enough to allow me to share some table space with him this past Saturday.
Presented a half gallon jar full of $25 FV Cu Cents along with a few displays of some affordable coins.
A few people stopped to browse the displays, did not make a sale.
Had a great time. Ended up trading some Cu Cents for an '09 Silver Eagle.

| The dollar bill shirts are pretty cool. |

Thanks for the post and the pictures. Nice display with the shirts made of paper currency.
For what it is worth...we went to our local flea market Saturday morning to get veggies and walked the aisles of the main building looking. Very few people were there, so it could be the time of year depending on where you live that is slower (our busy season here is in winter/spring), or it could just have been the holiday weekend keeping serious lookers/buyers home.
Good luck in the future.

| Any coins I've ever seen at flea markets are usually WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY overpriced. My Mom is having a garage sale soon and was going to throw some wheats out there for $3 a roll and see if I got any bites |
Buying CU cents!!!! Paying 1.2 unlimited amounts wanted. Can pick up if near Ohio area. |

Thank you for the nice comments etc.
You may learn how to fold a dollar bill t-shirt of your own here: You must be logged in to see this link.
The pricing in the displays was aggressive here and passive there. In the dollar coin display pictured, slipped an XF 1919S in a 2x2 labeled 1919 VF - pulled some other subtleties as well throughout. It will be exciting to watch others tab through in hopes of a nice find. Have had the most success at flea markets as a buyer - buying under-graded coins and junk silver.
Can't put a price per/oz on the spokesmodel. Supports this hobby of mine. Enjoys coin roll hunting. We are going fossicking this coming Saturday.
Best to all,

I knew that woman was going to be the subject of this thread when after reading the first post.
The retro 60's glasses are cool.
Is fossicking fossil hunting? |

You can fossick, or "ferret out" much anything. In our case, gold and gemstones. |

I'm thinking the spokesmodel's appearance had a lot to do with the 'kindness' displayed by the coin dealer who let you share his table! |

Its tough to find a good woman,luckily I found mine.
A capable, intelligent, and [a]virtuous woman--who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.

In my case:
It's better to live on the corner of my roof than to stay inside with my contentious woman.
Thank goodness we have a ranch style with a fairly flat roof. |
