Picked these up today for $600 at my local pawn shop. They also had another bag of 122 that came in this past week and will be up for sale on Tuesday. I got to look at those and I spied about a dozen 1928 plain Peace $'s in that bag. Those 1928's will be mine very soon and I have no problem paying $26 for a $275 coin when I know they only paid half of melt.  |

Nice pickup! Every time I go to pawn shops they are wanting $60 for 1921 Morgans.

Good score. I think APMEX is paying $32 for VF-XF Morgans and asking $36 so you have instant equity. Edited by jack jeckel

Very nice pickup. Every pawn shop around me is hoarding their coins.

Good deal. If you have a pawn shop that sells key dates for melt, I'd buy a tent for the sidewalk!

Wow! Thats one heck of a pile. I need to get me some more silver dollars - are you going to sell/trade these on or do you plan to keep them?
You just cant get the silver in the uk...

Even without the numi value dollars in there, that is a good price. Especially from a pawn shop!

I plan to take the proceeds from them and buy an AT Pro and save the rest for the next big coin show at the state fair grounds this summer. These guys only look for CC mint coins which they then send off for grading and then put on ebay for sale. In their mind if it isn't a Carson City it is just common junk silver. They pay only 50% of melt so I do not feel bad at all paying their asking price of around $4 over melt to them for a coin worth nearly 10 times more. |

I guess I live in the wrong place. Nobody here buys dollars for half of melt. Current melt is $22 so that would be $11 each. Even the stores here that cheat people pay more then that. Good find. I hope the person that sold them cheap to the pawn shop didn't get them in a questionable way. I have to believe they would have gotten $18-22 at any local coin store.

Is it me or did Tim forget to post the name, address and most importantly the telephone number of this Pawn Shop so we can verify his recent purchase I'll make sure and get that info from the guys when I go back on Tuesday and post it up when I return home.  |

Here are the close up pics I took of them all last night. I had one 1926-S that was a dog and didn't bother to photograph it. I must have put that one in my buy pile by mistake when I put this batch on lay-a-way. I welcome any opinions on grade and whether or not I should get them graded. I suspect that #18 is a VAM but I no very little about VAM's. #1  #2  #3  #4  #5  #6  #7  #8  #9  #10  #11  #12  #13  #14  #15  #16  #17  #18  #19  #20  #21  #22  Edited by Tim Stroud
