cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 03/02/2013 11:25 pm Had another outing with my daughter to the LCS this morning. We picked up the following (there are more "moderns" than "classics", so I'll just put the post here): - 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel in ~VG8 (been looking for a good deal on this coin) - 1936 Buffalo nickel in ~VF30 condition - 1865 3-cent Nickel ~VF20 (we already had one, but it was too nice to leave behind) - 1986 Statue of Liberty commemorative half (uncirculated) - Set of all 2004-2005 + 2006 Westward Journey nickels (uncirculated & sealed in a Littleton bag) And my daughter picked out the following from the value box; I guess they "spoke to her" : - Bicentennial half (uncirculated & sealed in a Littleton bag) - Bicentennial half (yes, another one, this one in a plastic case) - Five red OPAs in a little baggie Got all the above for $9. Pretty nice score, in my opinion! Report this Post to the Staff

HaroldS Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 03/03/2013 11:46 am Dang. My mother had a jar full of OPAs. Wonder what happened to them when we closed her house. We used to use them as markers when playing bingo. Report this Post to the Staff
