googoo Valued Member United States 466 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 1:22 pm So today I went to a coin show last minute to grab up a little silver with some money I had in my wallet. I ended up grabbing dimes @ 2.25 quarters @ 5.50 half dollars @ 11 I purchased dimes 1917 S Mercury dime G+ 1930 Mercury dime VG 1931 Mercury dime G 1938 S Mercury dime VG+ 1958 Roosevelt dime BU quarters 1898 Barber G 1915 D Barber G 1925 SLQ G 1927 SLQ G 1963 Washington BU Half Dollars 1939 S walker F+ 1944 D walker F+ 1952 D franklin VF+ cool thing is that all the coins I bought are hole fillers except for the 1952 D franklin (big upgrade though) and the 1927 slq. Oh well they will be trade bait in the future! I also asked about buying bulk silver, many weren't selling due to the low prices. I found one guy who was selling at 22 to 1. I am going to get in contact with this guy later this week. I was upset when dealers helpers would ask dealers how much they were selling bulk 90% for and the dealer would ask who wants to know, look at me and then tell me $26 to 1 or $28 to 1. I hate it when it seems like dealers are trying to take advantage of me because I am a 21 year old kid. Oh well. I had a fun day. This is the most I have spent at a coin show. Right around 73 dollars. I had a blast though. I might see if my girlfriend can take some picture for me. I thought I did good, what do you guys think. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/16/2011 4:45 pm If you got stuff you wanted, you did great. And it sounds like you had some fun there too, so a good day, right? It is too bad that dealers are not always polite, but I just figure that I will not get the best information or the best deals because I am a low-end buyer. I just refuse to spend a lot until I really, really know what to look for. I am going to a local coin show at the end of the month and for the first time I will be bringing a shopping list with me because I have finally decided on some things to collect -- but it took me a year to made that decision. Anyway, you have a bunch of 'new' coins so Report this Post to the Staff
