Chaotech Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 8:52 pm I am new to collecting and I am trying to build a collection with a variety of different coins... I have been checking the local flea markets, and peddlers malls and I found a guy who's whole booth was just junk and old tools however he had a few coins (6 in total) 3 of them were Indian Head cents 1903, 1905, and 1907 he had a price on them $5.00 for all 3... they were in what I would call "fair" or "good" condition... I'm no grader though... What do you guys think? Good buy? Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 9:07 pm Well, $5 isn't a lot, even without seeing the coins. That said, I have found XFs for those years for $1-2. I may have some extras if you're need certain dates. and I'll comment further on your IHCs. Edited by KurtS 05/12/2008 9:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Chaotech Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 9:09 pm yea I'm a cheapy though, I dont have alot of cash to spare on my coin collecting addiction so I try to keep my purchases small and spaced out, but mostly its been more recent years and modern coinage, here I am dabbing a little out of my already small knowledge base...

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 9:53 pm It pays being a "cheapy"! I've found some great finds in dealer bargain bins. Here's a coin I found for $2 at a show. This is the Snow-1 "1 in neck" variety. Rick Snow prices this in VF20 around $275. Report this Post to the Staff
