I traded a Krug + $20 for a NGC MS62 1925 $20 St. Gaudens. Better deal... I went back later and I was talking to him about Canadian nickels he told me he had a small bag so we started looking for it. We were moving bags of coins when he said "Hey you want to buy some Wheats?" I told him it depends on the price. He said "face just get them outta here". They are all rolled and in a mint bag so counting them was a cinch. There was also a plastic bag of not so nice 1943 steel cents that he gave me the same "deal" on! Ohhhhhhhhh I about forgot the totals.... 5900 wheats (118 rolls) 1500? steel...they were loose so we guessed by weight. $74 OTD! Anybody else have a story of good deals? They can still be found. -1 Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 05/05/2007 11:58 am That is a deal - face value for many hours of entertainment. Better than renting a video. I can't think of any deals as strikingly good as that one. I like dealers that are fair, but will take advantage of mistakes when they are made. My best deals lately have been in Peace dollars and walkers out of the cans. The deals that I really enjoyed were not the bargains so much as finding something completely out of the ordinary - an 1883 quarter VG/AG, an 1871-cc half, an 1846-C $5 slabbed in AG3 - these just do not show up very often in coin shops in any condition.

Libertad Peso Valued Member United States 161 Posts	Posted 05/05/2007 1:19 pm I know this is a US forum but I have gotten some good deals on silver coins by rummaging through a dealer's foreign coin box. A little research helped me bag 1.7 oz actual silver weight of Canadian and German coins for 9.00. One german coin was a 5 mark Nazi coin from 1934 and is worth 5.00 or more. Not a huge find but notable nonetheless. I will certainly go back in a few months to see what else he has. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/05/2007 1:48 pm I get my best deals from my local dealer's bid board. An example of my wins from last week- 1962 Franklin half dollar PR65 $9.25, 1973-S Ike $1 40% silver $3.50, and a 1925 Peace $1 MS62 $12. Certainly the nicer material goes for much more, usually between greysheet bid and ask, but the more common can often had had on the the cheap Report this Post to the Staff
