Yeah, why not? You never know what you'll find although they may be slightly higher than FMV.

20,000  From what I noticed, much of it was the common stuff, amethyst meds, bromos etc. I cannot remember honestly if he had any sodas, at least nothing of substantial rarity. I also have a small collection of antique bottles. I am fond of the poisons. swcoin.ecrater.com

V'tesium - what a great find and the story is as good as the coin. You mentioned whiskey, but I'd also bet that it may have bought some pleasure in the red light district. Oh, if coins could just talk. You know with 65 saloons, they had to have at least ONE brothel.
