So like any tech savvy coin collector, I browse Craigslist. Browse is probably an understatement, as I attack any opportunity to pick up local stuff that I can have in hand. Today was my best run in yet. Young kid looking to rid of grandpa's $2.50 Indians. Scale in hand, with the latest price guide and advertisements, I found this nice 1928 and an equally nice 1927. He said the dealer in town offered him $400 for the pair, came in looking for $600 and we settled on $525. I would say both parties were happy. And a preemptive sorry for the bad photos. The smaller the coin, the less satisfied I am with the point and shoot.
